Assassin’s Creed Shadows Opens To A Successful Launch

With Over 1 Million Players

Assassin’s Creed Shadows (AC Shadows) achieved a remarkable launch, hitting a significant milestone right from day one. Ubisoft proudly shared on the official AC Shadows Twitter (X) account that the game surpassed 1 million players just 15 hours after its release.

Currently, AC Shadows holds the title of the top-selling game on Steam, outperforming other recently released hits like Monster Hunter Wilds and Split Fiction. According to SteamDB, AC Shadows reached an all-time peak of 41,412 concurrent players on March 20. The game enjoys a "Very Positive" rating on Steam, with 82% of user reviews being favorable.
