In the tumultuous world of gaming, Ubisoft is keeping a close eye on the performance of Assassin's Creed Shadows, following a string of setbacks for the company. With 2 million players diving into the game within just two days of its launch, Shadows has already made its mark as the most played Assassin's Creed title on Steam. Ubisoft's internal data reveals impressive day one sales figures, especially on the PlayStation Store, hinting at a potential success story in the making. The game's performance on PC, particularly on Steam, has been noteworthy, with 27% of total activations occurring on the platform.
Meanwhile, Monster Hunter Wilds is gearing up for its first major post-launch update, promising players a new hub, exciting minigames, and the arrival of a formidable new monster. On the other hand, Civilization 7 is facing some challenges on Steam, with fewer players compared to its predecessors, Civ 6 and even the venerable Civ 5. However, developer Firaxis is not backing down, rolling out update 1.1.1 to address player feedback and introduce new features like quick move functionality and UI enhancements. Despite the hurdles, the team remains dedicated to enhancing the game with future updates, determined to win over fans and critics alike.
