Shadows is Ubisoft's most successful game in the franchise by a Japanese country mile, ranking high in both sales and player counts.

According to Circana's data, Ubisoft's open world RPG immediately cemented itself amongst the best-selling games of 2025 so far, ranking in the top five for dollar sales. But more impressively, it's the year's second best-selling title in terms of week one dollar sales, beaten only by the mega hit that is Monster Hunter Wilds.

Worldwide, Shadows has reached more than three million players so far. Shadows had the second-highest day-one sales revenue for any Assassin's Creed game, only trailing Valhalla. Shadows did beat Valhalla by one measurement, though, setting a record for the most day-one digital revenue on the PlayStation Store for the Assassin's Creed franchise.
