Just three days after its release date, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has hit yet another milestone and passed 2 million players. According to Ubisoft<\/a>, “Assassin’s Creed Shadows has now surpassed the launches of AC Origins and Odyssey.”<\/p>\n

Shadows had already sailed past 1 million players in its first 24 hours<\/a>, easily breaking AC Valhalla’s record. To put that into perspective, when Valhalla released in 2020, Ubisoft claimed it was its biggest PC launch<\/a> ever<\/em> (although the game’s Steam playerbase remains smaller than other games in the AC franchise). Five years later, Shadows seems to have eclipsed even that.<\/p>\n
