Assassin’s Creed Shadows Opens To A Successful Launch
With Over 1 Million Players
Assassin’s Creed Shadows (AC Shadows) achieved a remarkable milestone on its launch day. 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 becoming available.
Currently, AC Shadows reigns as the top-selling title on Steam, surpassing recent hits like Monster Hunter Wilds and Split Fiction. Data from SteamDB reveals that AC Shadows hit an all-time peak of 41,412 concurrent players on March 20. The game boasts a "Very Positive" rating on Steam, with an impressive 82% of reviews being positive.
However, at Game8, our review awarded AC Shadows a score of 66 out of 100.
