Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Launch On Steam Already Brought Ubisoft $35 Million of Revenue

Last week, Ubisoft released Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced—the long-anticipated remake of the original 2013 game. For anyone who still has doubts about whether the project was a success for the developers, a new analytical report confirms that the game has become the most successful installment in the franchise on Steam and has already generated significant profit for the studio.

Rhys Elliott, a representative of the analytics firm Alinea Analytics, recently published a detailed report on Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced's performance on Steam. Within just five days of its release, the game sold over 700,000 copies, generating $35 million in revenue. Moreover, it managed to earn $1 million from cosmetic DLC sales alone, with the total cost of these extras exceeding that of the game's Deluxe Edition, which left a lot of fans outraged. As a result, Black Flag Resynced achieved the best launch in the franchise's entire history on Steam.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has become an undeniable success for Ubisoft, breaking several impressive records within just a few days. Recently, it became the first game in the franchise's history to attract over 100,000 concurrent players on Steam. Moreover, the game is the highest-rated title in the series since 2013, and it currently holds a user rating as high as that of Assassin's Creed II, with a score of 8.7. Besides that, Ubisoft confirmed that 2 million copies were sold across all platforms within the first 24 hours.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is now available on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. Recently, some players have also uncovered a possible teaser for Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe, the next mainline game in the series, announced in 2022, which was later confirmed by franchise insider Rogue.
