Ubisoft has announced impressive early figures for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, revealing that the game has already surpassed 1 million players within 24 hours of its release, including both sales and subscriptions via Ubisoft+. This is an impressive milestone considering the game was launched less than a day ago, with an early release of about 3 hours.
Early Data Shows Promising Results
As of today, Ubisoft shared their excitement: “It’s not even 4PM here in Canada and Assassin’s Creed Shadows has already passed 1 million players! Thank YOU from the bottom of our hearts for joining this adventure in Feudal Japan. We are beyond excited to start this journey with you! 💝” Despite facing political attacks from certain groups, Ubisoft expresses satisfaction with the result, which showcases the game’s early success.
Is Assassin’s Creed Shadows a Success?
While the first 24 hours show great promise, it’s still too early to define Assassin’s Creed Shadows as a complete success. These early numbers are certainly encouraging, but it remains to be seen whether they will hold up over time. Ubisoft likely has higher expectations, and it will be interesting to see if this momentum continues.
It’s also worth noting that Ubisoft hasn’t revealed which platform Assassin’s Creed Shadows is performing the best on. Historically, the series has sold better on consoles, but we might see the PC platform make up ground in this instance.
