The newest instalment in Ubisoft's blockbuster "Assassin's Creed" franchise received a "very positive" rating on Steam based on 751 user reviews, with 80% of them being positive, around four hours after its launch on the game distribution platform.
Prior to Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the last few Assassin’s Creed titles launched exclusively on Ubisoft Connect, with their Steam releases arriving later.
More than AC Valhalla, Odyssey, Mirage, or Origins, the Assassin’s Creed Shadows Steam player count is officially the series’ biggest ever.
On console, Shadows was Ubisoft's best ever day-one launch on the PlayStation Store. Ubisoft also noted that player engagement is at "record levels" and feedback across "moderated, verified platforms" remains very positive.
A bunch of big-name games have launched on the Mac over the last year, but several are still missing. Apple needs to fix that if it’s to lure in more gamers.
Assassin's Creed Shadows is officially here, and the game has debuted to the franchise's highest Steam player count, which will be encouraging for Ubisoft.
Assassin's Creed Shadows is an incredible success for Ubisoft, and it couldn't have come at a better time for the company. After game shutdowns, lackluster launches, and studio closures, it needed a win. But an internal memo warns staff not to compare it to Valhalla.
The first Assassin's Creed Shadows title update arrives today with a pretty light set of patch notes and a pretty heavy download size for such a small hotfix.
