Assassin’s Creed Unity Player Count is Way Up

by

Assassin’s Creed Unity is currently seeing a big jump in players on Steam, with more people playing it now than in recent years. This increase is likely due to a substantial sale on the game.

Assassin’s Creed Unity aimed high, and while it still looks great today, that ambition led to a rough launch. The game was plagued with bugs and became notorious for being one of the worst video game releases ever. Over time, people have started to appreciate what the game was trying to do – bring the Assassin’s Creed experience to the newest consoles of its time.

Assassin’s Creed Unity Player Count is At Its Highest in Years

According to SteamDB, *Assassin’s Creed Unity* is currently much more popular on Steam than it has been in a long time. As of today, it’s reached 4,522 players in a single day, which is the highest number since September 2023. This is actually the fourth-highest peak player count the game has *ever* seen on Steam, only surpassed by its initial release 11 years ago. Interestingly, this recent surge is even greater than the increase in players when Ubisoft unexpectedly added Steam achievements to the game a decade after it first came out.

The recent surge in popularity for *Assassin’s Creed Unity* is easily explained. The game is currently on sale for just $4.49 on Steam – a record low price – and historically, this steep discount leads to a big jump in players. In fact, between 2020 and 2024, the game saw several similar spikes in player numbers whenever it went on sale for this price. We even saw a major increase last year when interest in the game was renewed by the Paris Olympics, as the game is set in Paris. It’s likely this pattern will continue in the future.

It’s been over ten years since *Assassin’s Creed Unity* came out, and the series remains a key part of Ubisoft’s success. The latest installment, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, was a welcome hit for the company, and Ubisoft appears to be doubling down on this popular franchise. A recent rumor indicates they’re planning to release nine *Assassin’s Creed* games in the next six years-a bold strategy that could pay off big, or fall flat. Only time will tell if these plans materialize.
