"AC Film" never mentions sales? You can cheat shareholders. Don't cheat yourself too!

　　Ubisoft announced that since its release on March 20, "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" has attracted more than 2 million players to play, doubled from the 1 million players on the first day, and surpassed the first performance of the previous works "Assassin's Creed: Origin" and "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey". However, the official did not mention the specific sales.

　　"Thank you for embarking on the journey of the Warring States Period in Japan together!" Ubisoft posted on X platform to thank players for their support.

　　At the same time, the third-party data platform SteamDB shows that the online peak of "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" is close to 60,000 people, which may be due to the blessing of the first holiday. With the arrival of the weekend, the Steam peak of "Shadow" may not have reached its peak, and it is likely to surpass the 61,000 record of "Odyssey", but whether it can approach the 80,000 peak of another controversial masterpiece "Dragon Age: The Guardian of the Shadow" remains to be seen.

Ubisoft did not mention sales, but used the word "player". The reason is that in addition to players who directly purchase the game, players who also join the game through the Ubisoft+ subscription service. This may also be the reason why sales failed to reach the "Assassin's Creed: Valhalla" launched during the 2020 epidemic, which has exceeded the 20 million player milestone by the end of 2022.
