Assassin’s Creed Shadows has officially surpassed 2 million players just in two days after launch on March 20, 2025, outpacing the launch numbers of Origins and Odyssey.
As of the time of writing, the game featured a Very Positive rating on Steam with 8,639 reviews and reached an all-time peak of concurrent players equal to 64,825, according to SteamDB, outrunning Origins’ 41,551 and Odyssey’s 62,069.
It is worth noting that after receiving complaints from Hiroyuki Kada, a member of the Japanese House of Councillors, and Shigeru Ishiba, the Prime Minister of Japan, Ubisoft removed the ability to destroy certain objects within temples and reduced the amount of bloodshed by NPCs in various shrines and temples throughout Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
The fourteenth major installment in the Assassin’s Creed series and the successor to 2023’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, is set in 16th-century Japan toward the end of the Sengoku period. The title was developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft for PC (Windows and macOS), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S from day one, with a version for iPadOS to be released at a later date.
