Assassin’s Creed Shadows Hits Huge Player Milestone

Ubisoft has announced that “Assassin’s Creed Shadows” has surpassed five million players, a notable accomplishment reached only four months after its debut. This is quite an achievement for “Assassin’s Creed Shadows,” as it marks the first time in the series where gamers can explore feudal Japan, a unique historical setting.

Following a challenging phase marked by the disappointing release of Star Wars Outlaws, Assassin’s Creed Shadows proved to be a well-timed triumph for Ubisoft. Despite encountering some issues before its launch, Assassin’s Creed Shadows managed to attract one million players on its first day, and the player base has expanded since then. The game’s debut was the second-largest in the series’ history, trailing only behind 2020’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

On their platform X, Ubisoft announced that the game Assassin’s Creed: Shadows has reached a player base of five million, an impressive accomplishment considering its release in March 2025. It’s crucial to mention that this number doesn’t equate to sales figures due to the title being available on Ubisoft+ Premium. Nevertheless, given the robust sales reported in Ubisoft’s latest financial reports, it can be safely assumed that Assassin’s Creed: Shadows has delivered a commendable performance for the company at a significant juncture.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Has Passed Five Million Players

The article additionally shared intriguing data on player activities in ‘Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’. Among the five million characters portrayed as assassins, they’ve accumulated a staggering 2 billion stealth kills and traveled over one billion kilometers. What truly stands out, though, is that players have interacted with a whopping 38 million virtual animals during their gaming sessions in ‘Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’.

The exceptional playability of Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been boosted by Ubisoft’s commitment to the game. Recently, an update for Assassin’s Creed Shadows introduced fresh story elements and a new character ally. Moreover, the game’s initial expansion, Claws of Awaji, is scheduled to debut later in 2023. In their latest post, Ubisoft announced that they will be rolling out updates this week, which means eager fans have something exciting to anticipate in the near future as well.
