The launch of AC Shadows has not been a smooth sail for Ubisoft as the developers had to endure certain storms since its release. The developers even released a patch that made the Shrines in AC Shadows indestructible after the Japanese Prime Minister got involved.

Despite that, the game has been a hit with players, seemingly more than the last entry to the series, AC Mirage, as the game has surpassed the all-time player count for Odyssey on Steam, which previously held the highest number of players in the series. Assassin's Creed Shadows hit 64,825 player count on the Steam marketplace, crossing the 62,069 of Odyssey.

Ubisoft previously reported that AC Shadows has accumulated 2 million players across all platforms on March 22, 2025. Despite the controversy surrounding the game, it has continued to see a rise in player count and is expected to break another milestone soon.

AC Shadows is also sitting at an 81% Very Positive review score across 8000 reviews on Steam, contributing to its success. Whether it can maintain the momentum going forward remains to be seen, but it certainly has been one of the biggest releases from Ubisoft in recent years.
