The wait is over for fans of the Assassin’s Creed series. After months of drama and delays, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has finally hit the shelves. And the numbers are looking good – very good. In just one day, the game has attracted a whopping 1,000,000 players.
To put that into perspective, it’s like selling out a massive stadium like Wembley – 13 times over. That’s a lot of people eager to dive into the world of feudal Japan and take on the role of a stealthy assassin.
But what’s even more impressive is the game’s performance on Steam. It debuted as the top-selling game, with around 65,000 players online at the same time. That’s a significant milestone, especially considering the game’s bumpy road to release.
So, what does this mean for Ubisoft, the game’s developer? The company was facing financial woes, and a successful game launch was crucial to its survival. While we don’t have the exact sales figures yet, the initial player numbers are certainly promising. It’s like a lifeline has been thrown to the company, and it’s now up to them to capitalize on this momentum.
By the numbers
* 1,000,000 players in just one day
* 65,000 concurrent players on Steam
* Top-selling game on Steam at launch
As we wait for the official sales figures, one thing is clear – Assassin’s Creed Shadows is off to a flying start. And if it keeps up this pace, it could be the game that saves Ubisoft from its financial troubles.
