Though it’s already garnered a bit of controversy, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has set a new standard for the franchise, becoming the biggest Steam release in the entire series. It’s some 50 percent up from the last mainline game, AC: Shadows, showing that the strength of the brand alone isn’t enough to make a big enough splash.
As per the numbers shown on SteamDB, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced peaked at 99,451 concurrent players today, following an incredible day where the remake sold over two million copies. This puts it about 50 percent above Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, the latest entry in the series, which clocked in 64,825 players around launch and is now struggling to maintain an audience bigger than 3,000 concurrents.
