Assassin’s Creed Shadows Opens To A Successful Launch
With Over 1 Million Players
Assassin’s Creed Shadows (AC Shadows) has soared to success right from its launch day, achieving a remarkable milestone. Ubisoft proudly shared on the official AC Shadows X (formerly Twitter) account that the game surpassed 1 million players within a mere 15 hours of being available.
Currently, AC Shadows holds the coveted position as the top-selling game on Steam, outperforming recent hits like Monster Hunter Wilds and Split Fiction. Data from SteamDB reveals that 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 an impressive 82% of user reviews being positive.
