Assassin’s Creed Shadows Was the US’ Bestselling Game in its Launch Week

It’s no wonder that Assassin’s Creed Shadows has become incredibly popular. This open-world action RPG debuted towards the end of March and, remarkably, surpassed the three million player mark across all platforms within just over a week. And this high demand is evident in the game’s sales figures as well.

In an interview with BlueSky, analyst Mat Piscatella from Circana has shared that Assassin’s Creed Shadows was the top-selling game in the US last week based on dollar sales. Remarkably, it’s already among the top five highest-grossing games of the year in the United States. The open-world action RPG had the second largest debut in 2025, trailing only Monster Hunter Wilds in terms of sales during its release.

In the United Kingdom, Assassin’s Creed Shadows boasted the largest physical release of any game in the year, and it was reportedly Ubisoft’s second-largest launch ever, trailing behind only Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

You can now play “Assassin’s Creed Shadows” on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and personal computers. For a comprehensive review of the game, click here.
