Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a treat for the eyes on PC and a technically impressive title that looks and plays well if you have the hardware for it. It comes jam-packed with several settings to adjust in each department, but you still have to sit through the opening screens.
Fret not, however, because you can skip through those annoying videos, save precious seconds, and head straight to the Assassin’s Creed Shadows main menu.
Skip the Assassin’s Creed Shadows Intro Videos
At the first boot, you’ll see a few videos like the Intel ad, the AC franchise intro and a few health warnings. Most of these don’t appear on subsequent boots, but you’ll still see the Ubisoft logo and the health warnings. These can’t be skipped, so we’ll just delete the video files.
Once you have deleted the files, launch Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and it will skip through the opening videos. This saves a good 15-20 seconds that you don’t have to sit through anymore, and I honestly think it should be something players can skip through with a button press, anyway. The videos will likely be restored after an update or if you decide to verify the game files.
This isn’t a big issue at all, mind you, but I just want to get to the main menu as soon as possible. Console users sadly don’t have a choice here, and they’ll have to sit through this every single time. Probably a good time to grab a snack as it slowly loads through the clearly skippable videos. Intros aside, here is how you can use thegame’s photo mode, andearn the Twitch dropswhile you still have the time!

When he isn’t spending an unhealthy amount of time in Slay the Spire, he’s probably trying out yet another retro-shooter or playing Dark Souls for the 50th time.
