Shadows is the THIRD most played AC in Steam's history

[Arnurion]

Title say it all, people are ♥♥♥♥ talking, forgetting Assassins Creed is a very niche game ON PC, and the numbers show it (not on console where the major sales are). But fact is, the highest peak EVER for ANY Assassins Creed game ON STEAM:


Assassin's Creed Odyssey = 62.069

Assassin's Creed Origins = 41.551

Assassin's Creed Shadows = 38,516

Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag = 16.049

Assassin's Creed Valhalla = 15.679

Assassin's Creed® III = 15.007

Assassin's Creed Unity = 9.297

Assassin's Creed Mirage = 7.870

Assassin's Creed Syndicate = 4.728

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood = 3.848

Assassin's Creed II = 3.617

Assassin's Creed III Remastered = 3.561

Assassin's Creed Revelations = 3.105

Assassin's Creed Rogue = 2.361

Assassin's Creed = 1.266

Assassin's Creed Liberation = 1.174

Assassin’s Creed® Chronicles: China = 590

Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry = 444

Assassin’s Creed® Chronicles: India = 130

Assassin’s Creed® Chronicles: Russia = 54


This data was taken from SteamDB and it's important to put in perspective the game is not a complete failure like the haters here say, just because "it'll never reach 100k players". Well, never in history an AC game got 100k peak players or more.

This means Shadows is good? No. But maybe this data make the haters to shut up for a bit, and let who's playing the game make the important critics, to show what really is wrong and bad with the game, and the discussion to be a sea of "LOW PEAK PLAYERS".


*EDIT: As soon I posted this Steam removed the currently players numbers, for sure because Ubisoft asked. This is a pathetic move, considering, like I proved above, this is the third most played AC in Steam history on day 1. It's sad that a company spent so many years not listening to constructive feeback, but listened to empty "LOW NUMBERS COUNT" by steam review and discussion trolls. Ubisoft is hiding a success in numbers (and I'm not talking about the quality here) because of empty trolling. Dumb and pathetic move by Ubisoft.

*EDIT 2: Numbers are back. At least they have the balls to show it, after messing too much disconsidering players feedback.

What's the point of the list if some of those games were not a day-1 steam release?

the numbers are the follower for the game not the players LUL. what a clown

These numbers mean absolutely nothing and the people here try to cope by saying they represent anything. Maybe Shadows is just a bad game noone wants to play?

Some people are already huffing some heavy doses of copium.

when odyssey had more hype than shadows and only got 62k?

are you dreaming?

Odyssey was absolutely not more hyped at all lol

People have been begging for a Japan themed AC game ever since AC became a thing.

You act like people like that actually know what they're talking about. They're just spouting nonsense. Don't even know what they're talking about themselves.

Im not sure you can gauge success with Steam numbers like this, as from what i understand, this is either the first or second assassins creed that is available for sale in Steam day 1.. unless im mixing this with some other game.
AC is not niche, Valhalla made more than billion dollars. Also for a game that was delayed twice, it has obtained a lot more production costs that it would, had it released late last year as it was meant to.

Gimme a AC game that has had more than 100k people at peak?

you can't it doesn't exist. so don't put this game to that standard.

Review Fairly. and with its peers.

Other launchers exist. Consoles exist. Ubisoft + exists.

Nah let’s ignore all of those.

All the last AC had way over 100k concurrent players on Ubisoft launcher during launch day.
Steam release was years later and still made pretty good numbers.

People posting here are either troll or have no idea what they’re talking about it’s crazy.

You can’t call a game niche when you actively ignore all the other ways to buy and play the game lol

[agarest1]

Assassin's creed is niche...

The series is in the top 10 highest selling video game franchises of all time, I swear the brain rot in those forums is on another level.

Nobody cares about steam. Everyone was playing on Ubisoft launcher since it was only available there on release. Steam numbers are irrelevant.
