Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced isn’t just the best-reviewed game in the series<\/a> in 13 years; it’s also off to a flying start with more than 100,000 players<\/a> on Steam alone. That’s one of the highest opening weeks for an Assassin’s Creed game in several years, and the number doesn’t include Black Flag Resynced’s availability through other PC storefronts, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, either.<\/p>\n

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is something of an anomaly, as it wasn’t available at launch<\/a> through Steam.<\/p>\n

When Ubisoft did return to Steam<\/a> after a gap of several years, it peaked at 15,679 players on launch day–two years after it first launched on PC and console–and it later surpassed that number<\/a> in January 2026 with 19,181 players. For Black Flag Resynced, those are some impressive launch week numbers–even if they do pale in comparison to the similarly themed pirate<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
