Ubisoft has proudly reported that Assassin’s Creed Shadows has now exceeded three million players shortly after its launch, setting a record for the franchise. This remarkable figure comes just days after the company announced that the game had reached two million players.

Despite previous expectations based on prior releases, Ubisoft has refrained from disclosing exact sales figures. They noted that Shadows has registered the second highest day-one revenue among all Assassin’s Creed games, surpassing both Assassin’s Creed Origins and Odyssey.

The game’s success is particularly significant given the competitive landscape of the gaming market and can be seen as a much-needed win for Ubisoft, which has been navigating challenges with other recent titles. This milestone is also a boost amid ongoing social media discussions surrounding the game, allowing Ubisoft to focus on positive outcomes.

With the launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft is now also partnering with Tencent to form a company that will oversee key franchises like Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six. This could signal a strategic shift in managing their game portfolio moving forward.
