1 million players in the first 24 hours: Ubisoft has shared the first major success of Assassin's Creed Shadows

Yesterday (20 March) saw the release of Assassin's Creed Shadows, around which there was a lot of scandal, controversy and not always justified heath.
We already reported that the game in the setting of feudal Japan received high marks from critics and excellent reviews from gamers.
Here's What We Know
Ubisoft shared another important news about the success of Assassin's Creed Shadows: in the first day since the release of the game 1 million people got acquainted with it - this is a great result, because the scandalous novelty is not presented in the services of Xbox Game Pass format and gamers do not spare money for its purchase.
It's not even 4PM here in Canada and Assassin's Creed Shadows has already passed 1 million players!

As a reminder, there was earlier insider information that Ubisoft plans to sell 3.5 million copies of Shadows in the first month, and it looks like that's only realistic.
Assassinʼs Creed Shadows is available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series and Mac, and has been adapted for the Steam Deck handheld console and has an enhanced version for the PS5 Pro.
