Assassin's Creed: Shadows reaches 3 million players

I mean....starting to sound like trolls talking about this game non-stop online backfired, they might have marketed this game for free for Ubisoft thinking they'd stop people from buying it or something.

I remember reading some comment where someone made a video about the "outrage" and someone was like "OH shit a new AC is coming out WITH SAMURAI" lol

So...maybe all publicity is good publicity. Let me remind folks, the fake outrage of Far Cry 5, the petitions, the wild amount of videos....resulted in that game becoming the best selling Far Cry in history.

So shit, maybe we need more threads of AC Shadows, more tweets and more videos, doesn't seem to be hurting Ubisoft at the moment as that algorithm is keeping the gaming community in the loop about this game lol .

woke Ubi shills are shilling hard for this game :messenger_tears_of_joy: :messenger_tears_of_joy: :messenger_tears_of_joy: to create narrative how 'successful' this game is

why still no 3 million players update it's been over a week 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

They can lie all they want, until they can't lie anymore, ER is coming next month.

Edit: At least we know that sold worst than Valhala, the question is: How much worst ?

3 million "players" in the first week is a bad pace for a game with the budget of AC Shadows. It puts it on target for 6-7 million lifetime.

Also note that they dropped the language of it outpacing AC Odyssey and Origins, meaning this bloated mess is the slowest selling mainline AC title in recent history. We're firmly in underperformance territory.

Rofl just admit you lost this one and move on to the next game your favorite Youtuber tells you to hate.
 
Really curious about the sales figures. I can't imagine Ubisoft+ being that popular, so maybe 2.5M in a week? Not awful, but kind of pedestrian for a game of that size. Doesn't seem like a flop though.

Come on dude
 
People were saying they must have stopped giving these updates because they should have passed 3m players days ago. I guess not.

Still, better late than never. Lagging behind AC3 too now by my reckoning, and those players were all sales

I have no interest in if this games succeeds or fails. But if those 3 million translate to a decent chunk of sales it's done decent.

Obviously long term sales is important and it might drop off badly, but so far not too bad.

This is why people judging every game using steam CCU in a world where playstation exists make no sense.

Haven't we been told that the consoles represent 73% of the sales and PC 27% with Steam being a good part of it ?

Pretty sure Ubisoft+ is also available on consoles? It's their subscription service. I'm not talking about the Ubisoft Connect app.

Yeah, AC3 managed 3.5M in a week. This is 3M players in the same time frame. Doesn't sound all that good, but we'll see how its legs are.

You're right, also available on Xbox. But I don't think the big chunk of console players were on Xbox.

Ubisoft likely does not only have less users, but their sub is actually far less of a good value and is honestly kinda expensive for what it is.

So yeah, Indiana Jones at 4 million players vs AC Shadows at 3 million players don't mean the same thing

I doubt there are 25+ million Ubisoft+ users, unlike Game Pass

Without data it's anyone's guess how many subscribers they have. It could be argued that Ubi+ is a mature subscription service now (much more than it was when Valhalla dropped) and people are comfortable not owning their games.

Believe the argument that was made was that companies rarely give out numbers every million hit like this. At least, that was my argument and it remains true even if not in this particular case.

Are the games at no cost with Ubi+, like game pass? I actually know nothing about it!

These games sell for years / decades even. How did you you just put a ceiling of 6/7M on a game that is doing 3M on a single week i'll never know.

Also calling this bloated and mentioning Odyssey and Origins in the same sentence is funny.

There's also the fact this game didn't come out during the quarter where most games have their copies sold: during the fall.

3M in 1 week is NOT an underperformance. Specially when you get its publisher talking about these numbers lmao.
