Assassin’s Creed Shadows sold on PC in total 367 thousand copies - analysts question the success of the release

Since release Assassin’s Creed Shadows Almost two months have passed, but Ubisoft still hasn't released official sales figures. This raised a wave of suspicion and prompted an independent analysis by the analytics platform Alinea. Their assessment was unexpectedly low: only 367 thousand copies on PC for the entire period.

For comparison, the game was rumored to sell for three million copies, but Unofficial PS5 data suggests 1,7 million copies, There is no data on XboxEven with the most favorable interpretation, the final amount is unlikely to reach the designated threshold.

It is especially significant that Alinea Stopped Tracking PC Sales Two Weeks After Release, when interest in the project plummeted. In March, Shadows was only ranked 11th in the Steam charts, and Most reviews pointed to technical issues, poor optimization, and disappointment in gameplay innovations.Despite early discounts and an advertising campaign, the game was rapidly losing active players.

Ubisoft previously said that Shadows would be a "reboot" and "new beginning" for the series, but in practice the project failed to achieve either financial success or positive audience reactionThe community is already comparing it to Valhalla, but with a smaller reach and half the engagement rates.

The lack of transparency and refusal to publish statistics on such major releases is raising more and more questions - both among players and investors. Apparently, Ubisoft is facing another blow to its reputation and trust.
