Murmurs: Assassin’s Creed Shadows Earns High Revenue on First Day, Ranks 2nd in Series, Playing Second Fiddle to Valhalla

The contentious issue of player counts vs. game sales of Assassin’s Creed Shadows continues to spark debate among the game’s fanbase. Ubisoft’s official figures reveal a player count of 2 million individuals.

According to VGC, the Shadows installment generated high “revenue” on its launch day, ranking second in the series (with Valhalla holding the top spot due to a COVID-induced surge in stay-at-home gaming). Digital sales on the PlayStation Store on day one ranked Shadows as the top-selling Ubisoft game. PC players, including Steam, Ubisoft+, and other platforms, accounted for 27% of total players.

Renowned journalist Tom Henderson shared player data from Ubisoft sources, indicating Valhalla had 2.55 million players on day one, Shadows had 2.2 million players on day two (day one data unavailable), and Odyssey had 430,000 players on day one. Henderson also suggested that Valhalla had 8 million players in its first month, Odyssey had 4.3 million players, and Shadows might reach around 6 million players in total.
