- A new report reveals that AC Shadows generated pretty good revenue for Ubisoft.
- The title was the best-selling non-sports or shooter console game of the year.
- Despite this, Ubisoft is still struggling with low stock and a bad market cap value.
Before the launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft, from falling stocks to risk of bankruptcy, had all sorts of problems. While those issues are still far from over, at least it’s latest reportedly generated good revenue numbers.
A new report has revealed that Assassin’s Creed Shadows was the best-selling non-sports or shooter console game of the year. It beat the likes of Expedition 33, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and many others.
Why it matters: Many doubted that the game led to decent sales figures, but this report proves the game actually sold pretty well, especially on consoles, generating significant revenue for Ubisoft.
Newzoo’s latest report highlights the best-selling games of the year in terms of revenue. While on the console side, Shadows takes the 6th highest-selling spot, it was first if we factor out sports and shooter games.
Games like FC 26, 2K26, and Battlefield will always be the usual suspects to be in the top-sellers based on their replayability; however, it is impressive that Assassin’s Creed Shadows, primarily a single-player title, joins the list.
Ghost of Yotei also takes the second spot if we factor out the live service titles. This is also impressive considering the Samurai game was a PS5 exclusive. Notably, we don’t see titles like Call of Duty, Expedition 33, and KCD2.
Ubisoft released its delayed financial report last month, and it was surprisingly positive based on Shadow’s success. However, the company’s troubles still continue as its market value has fallen below $1 billion in 13 years.
