Ubisoft Stock Skyrockets Over 5% as Assassin’s Creed Shadows Smashes Records with a New Steam Peak—Gamers Can’t Get Enough!
Buckle up, gaming fanatics—Ubisoft just hit the jackpot! Their stock soared by more than 5% after Assassin’s Creed Shadows reached an insane new peak on Steam, proving that this feudal Japan epic is the ultimate power-up the company needed. With nearly 65,000 players diving into the action at once—the highest in the series’ history on the platform—this blockbuster is slashing through expectations. Forget the naysayers who thought Shadows would flop; the love for this iconic franchise is unstoppable, and it’s got gamers grinding harder than a speedrun challenge. Ubisoft’s latest triumph isn’t just saving the day—it’s leveling up their future in the wild world of gaming!
Ubisoft’s survival depends on how much revenue Assassin’s Creed Shadows generate for it. The gaming giant was in trouble due to constant failed releases but it seems like Shadows is finally saving it.
Following a poor launch in just a few days the game rose through the charts and achieved the highest concurrent player base in the series on Steam. Thanks to it Ubisoft’s stock is also increasing rapidly. Today it rose by over 5%.
Why it matters: Ubisoft was on the verge of bankruptcy but seems like AC Shadows may be able to save it.
As seen in the image above the company’s stock value has increased by 5.35% today. This happened due to the new peak of almost 65K players on Steam, which, by the way, is the highest in the series.
Many were convinced that Shadows will fail but it seems like the love for the Assassin’s Creed franchise is way too high. Given how massive the franchise actually is it is not surprising for the latest game in the series to gather such high numbers.
While Ubisoft has yet to share the sales figure the game has also already crossed two million players. That said, the success of Shadows won’t be enough to make up for the losses the company has faced before.
For example, Skull and Bones was a colossal failure that shook the company from the inside out. The game was reported to have a budget of around $800 million which is straight up diabolical.
Nonetheless, the delays seem to have been worth it as most of the fandom and reviewers have praised the game. So, hopefully, following this launch the gaming giant will double down on quality and focus on its fandom.
