Assassin’s Creed Shadows Opens to a Stellar Launch
With Over 1 Million Players
Assassin’s Creed Shadows (AC Shadows) has achieved a remarkable feat right out of the gate. Ubisoft proudly shared via the game's official X (formerly Twitter) account that AC Shadows amassed over 1 million players within a mere 15 hours of its launch.
Currently, AC Shadows holds the crown as the top-selling game on Steam, outpacing recent hits like Monster Hunter Wilds and Split Fiction. Data from SteamDB indicates that AC Shadows reached an all-time peak of 41,412 concurrent players on March 20. The game enjoys a "Very Positive" rating on Steam, with 82% of user reviews being favorable.
However, here at Game8, our review of AC Shadows resulted in a score of 66 out of 100. This score reflects the game's need for mechanical improvements and its deviation from the traditional Assassin's Creed formula. Despite these critiques, AC Shadows offers a vast, richly produced world that captivates players. To get a comprehensive look at our critique, feel free to explore our full review below!
