Assassin’s Creed Shadows Opens To A Successful Launch
With Over 1 Million Players
Assassin’s Creed Shadows (AC Shadows) has made a remarkable debut, achieving a significant milestone on its launch day. Ubisoft proudly shared via the game's official X (formerly Twitter) account that AC Shadows surpassed 1 million players within the first 15 hours of availability.
Currently, AC Shadows holds the top spot on Steam's sales chart, outperforming recent hits like Monster Hunter Wilds and Split Fiction. Data from SteamDB shows that AC Shadows reached an all-time peak of 41,412 concurrent players on March 20. The game boasts a "Very Positive" rating on Steam, with 82% of the reviews being favorable.
However, our review at Game8 gave AC Shadows a score of 66 out of 100.
