No mentions on "users" or "players", but "sales". Seems like it's doing good and not front loaded. Word of mouth is doing its work now.
Assassin's Creed: Shadows has been the best-selling video game in the US for each of its first 3 weeks/Ranks#2 YTD trailing only Monster Hunter Wilds

It means monster hunter won.
It's AC man, not some new IP no one knows about, brand can still carry the games, even buggy trash like Unity sold well, so I don't see why it would be different this time, Yasuke was the option for the devs to pat themselves on the back about how progressive they are, but there's an audience out there for these game, even tho peak of thre franchise reached with AC4

It would be if Naoe was white, but she isn't.
I just found out that Ubi is referencing Spidey 2 in its cover - the color palette is not similar is outright identical.
EDIT: also 2 playable characters, one whit one black in both games, it cannot be coincidence

Likely revenue. It's obvious Monster Hunter would outperform this given how much that game sold. He didn't provide details on how this compares to Valhalla, so for now all we know is that it's selling well going up against nothing notable.

As always, this imbelice sharing only enough information to start a flame war without any given context. If this game was so successful, believe, Ubisoft would scream it.

Good catch

Although this isn't necessarily unique
you'll see it with Blu-ray or movie covers too. I guess they're just trying to trigger recognition by imitating whatevers popular

...and yet when I hear everyone cry, it's about Nintendo. Cry about this. Weep for our future.
To think of the gall it would take to whine to me about Nintendo prices while playing AC Shadows that was a paid copy. The arrogance. The condescension.
To think , the backdrop to the Switch 2 debacle is a bunch of Nintendo haters laid up playing the wokest game ever to release, driving it up the charts and paying full price to play it, complaining about games they will never play on consoles they will never own.
You are laid up playing full priced paid AC Shadows and IN SOME CASES LITERALLY CRYING about a new Metroid, DK, Mario Kart, Bloodborne, Hollow Knight, and Hades game. Let that sink in.

Agreed, we just know it did better than Civ VII and KCD2.

Shipped does not equal sold. The typical Ubisoft way of flooding stores with unsold inventory that will be sold for peanut in a year or two.

Where does it mention "shipped"?

Good call on KCD2. I keep forgetting that one. We do know that sold well.
Did Civ 7 sell well? I assume it underperformed to some extent, but that might be my bias talking.

We must perpetuate the narrative that the game is a failure no matter the cost!

It is anything but a dry year. Look at some release schedules.
If anyone here is saying it's dry, they're not playing games and they're not tuning into gaming news.

Dude you are the worst gatekeeper ever, go away.
With your stupid "AC Shadows isnt a REAL game" crap while you can't wait to spend another 90 euro's on Mario Kart.

He mentions "best-selling" so I'm not sure why people would convert the context to "players" in the first place. It's clearly sales.

Tag, you're it.
Played for 15 hours and couldn't force myself any further. The fact that some people are cheering for this game even though the story is truly shitty is worrying in my opinion. It's as if they've completely forgotten what makes a story good and compelling. Just blind them with high-quality graphics and that's it.
Sad times.

Which also tells us that Steam CCU isn't necessarily indicative of how a game is performing across all platforms as some claimed.

Who is cheering?
The story is better than any of the recent AC games. The gameplay is better than any recent AC games.
It's a step in the right direction. They still have far to go.

Where's the goal post at now, boys?
Now can we please add a disclaimer to Steam CCU posts explaining that it never paints the full picture for multiplatform releases? Especially those available for free or at a discounted rate on other storefronts.
To be fair, there's been like 3 really good AC stories. Just 'okay' is fine enough for now. It's something to build on.

Played the game for 15,16 hours in recent days (still haven't played with Yasuke, other than tutorial) and really liked it and can't wait for more.
We still need more information, but it seems AC Shadows is selling great. Don't forget that Monster Hunter Wilds isn't a normal game, but Capcom's "fastest selling game of all time".

We'll have some figures/indication during Ubisoft's Q1 earning calls (which ended two weeks ago and takes 1 month to prepare)

70 hours and I am still having fun. The world is amazing, the building mechanics are addictive, the combat is really good (Yasuke rules) and the stealth is awesome. Yes the story is not that great but its still a solid title and fun to play

I have zero love towards anything AC and Ubisoft as whole but like or not people are free to enjoy what they want to enjoy.
Are people only allowed to like games that you like?
