Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has launched to massive success, hitting a peak of nearly 100,000 concurrent players on Steam. This makes it the highest-performing launch in the franchise’s history on the platform.
The remake of the pirate favorite significantly outperformed recent titles like Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Odyssey. The release is already a major win for Ubisoft, with pre-order figures reportedly over five times higher than those for Shadows, and it has already surpassed the lifetime sales of 2024’s Skull & Bones.
