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.

If it pulls similar numbers to Origins, it will probably do well enough. It's AC after all, what did you expect? Peak will be higher today/tomorrow, if you want a more accurate comparison.

Edit: Even Mirage is closing 10mil, which not only had I forgotten about, I didn't even think it was a main title.

I bought the game with the certainty that I would play the first 2 hours and get a refund, but when I saw it, I had 6 hours of gameplay and was hooked in the story. The game is really good, the only one that has kept me hooked since BF. If the numbers aren't better, it's not the game's fault, but Ubisoft's fault.

The theme is good, the graphics are good, the gameplay is good, the characters are good. The game is very good, even if the haters don't agree.
