I am actually stunned it’s so low for an assassins creed game. I was at least expecting 100k + at release.

[dulany67]

You will have a point if the high reaches 100k by Sunday afternoon. A wise man once said a popular game is popular on all available platforms.

AC Origins Peak: 41,551
AC Odyssey Peak: 62,069
AC Valhalla Peak: 15,679

AC Shadows just doing fine it seems.

Using old AC's numbers i would say is doing not bad and maybe mid, the problem is the budget and delays of this game and excuse my language the ♥♥♥♥ ups Ubisoft has done with previous games so a good AC sale's numbers will not be enough for this game.

Those games were exclusives on other platform and did not release on steam day one.
Take Valhalla it was an exclusive on EGS, hence why it did not sell much on steam 6 months later.

This game released on steam day one.

If you wanna compare it to other games and its budget
Ubisoft is a console centric company. Their vast majority of sales are on console, not PC.
With that being said, this game does seem to be rejected by players and it will most likely have consequences for the company.

If we look at steam numbers alone (not the whole picture, but a good indicator for PC atleast) then we can try to list games by their budget and then concurrent player peaks.

AAA games

Starfield - Budget: $450 millions - peak players 330,723
Assassin's Creed Shadows - Budget: $400 millions - peak players 41,210
Concord - $Budget: 400 millions - peak players 697
Dragon Age: The Veilguard - Budget: $360 millions - peak players 89,418
Star Wars Outlaws - Budget: $300 millions - peak players 3,397
Cyberpunk 2077 - Budget: $250 millions - peak players 1,054,388
Elden: Ring - Budget: $200 millions - peak players 953,426
Suicide Squad: KtJL - Budget: $200 millions - peak players 13,459
Hogwarts Legacy - Budget: $150 millions - peak players 879,308
Forspoken - Budget: $110 millions - peak players 12,579
Baldur´s Gate III - Budget: $100 millions - peak players 875,343

---- non AAA games ---

Avowed - Budget: $80 millions - peak players 19,198
Kingdom Come: Delieverence II - Budget: $64 millions - peak players 256,206
lost tapes bloom and rage - Budget $50ish millions - peak players 1,990


You don´t need a masters degree to understand why some games are more popular than others and what games did not live up to their budget.. We could have used more examples and we have similar genres, but also many different genres here.

The only real PC centric games on the list are CP2077, BG3 and KC:D2.




As you might notice, this game is not doing well. The vast majority of PC sales are on steam (this is why Ubisoft came back, as PC gamers are reluctant to go to Ubisofts own service)

It is true that the game will most likely sell decent on console however, but not on PC and even if only 10% of sales were on PC ie. then they would not even break even with sales numbers like that...

And because of that most People buy it at Ubisoft Store, its even cheaper there, but i guess Logic doesnt matter for Haters to constantly seek low points,

And also lies about Origin and Odyssey.... as expected.

[CtrlAltDEFEAT]

and how exactly are you getting the numbers that shows you the apparent tens of thousands and millions alike
you are just as bad buying into this culture war bs
if the game is good it will speak for itself it doesn't need super woke lefties or dumbass rights defending it

Vahalla is the only one on that list that didn't release to Steam day 1, the other 2 games did in fact release to Steam day 1.

you don't know what the budget of the game is, so any comparisons you made are moot.

Player numbers on sunseqent games are supposed to be higher. That's like the bare minimum here

[SciopticChimken]

This will do just about as good as Intergalactic: The Reddit Prophet will when it releases
