Assassin’s Creed Shadows Projected To Reach 6 Million Players In First Month

Expert Verified By

Day One Player Count Was Over 2x Higher Than AC Odyssey!

Story Highlight
  • Assassin’s Creed Shadows is expected to reach 6 million players during the first 30 days.
  • Internal Ubisoft data reveals this would put it ahead of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey in the same time span.
  • The game’s day one player counts fall between Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Valhalla.

Ubisoft has shared two encouraging updates regarding Assassin’s Creed Shadows so far. The game initially reached one million players on day one and then quickly achieved another million players shortly afterwards.

Since then, the French gaming giant’s stock has also shown signs of life, and new projections suggest that the situation will continue to improve. As per estimates, the game is expected to triple its current player count by the end of the month.

Why it matters: This is the exact type of result Ubisoft wants and needs from its latest AAA blockbuster as the company continues to navigate the challenging landscape of the modern gaming industry.

As per Tom Henderson’s sources, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla achieved a higher day-one player count than Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The former boasted 2.55 million players, surpassing the latest entry by over 1 million.

However, comparisons against Assassin’s Creed Odyssey are more favorable for the Feudal Japan-based entry. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey boasted less than half of Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ 1 million players, finishing the first day with 430,000 players in total.

Using this data, insider Tom Henderson estimates around 6 million players for the latest Ubisoft blockbuster by the end of its first month. He highlights that Assassin’s Creed Odyssey saw 3.4 million players during its first month, while a total of 8 million gamers played Assassin’s Creed Valhalla in the same timeframe.

Because Assassin’s Creed Odyssey remains the best-rated of the RPG lineup, this would be quite the feat for the series’ entry set in Feudal Japan. Moreover, it would likely increase the odds of Ubisoft surviving the financial fallout many had predicted.
