Ubisoft has announced exceptional player activity for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the latest iteration of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. As the press release reads, the number of active players on launch day for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla doubled that of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
Furthermore, the game has reached high levels of viewership and engagement on Twitch and YouTube that surpass any Ubisoft game launch to date.
Yves Guillemot, Ubisoft co-founder and CEO, said:
“We are humbled by the reception from the players and extremely proud of what our teams have accomplished. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla builds on the amazing success of its predecessors. In the context of COVID-19, shipping Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on no less than seven platforms is an incredible achievement for us”.
Guillemot concluded that Valhalla will most likely be one of this season’s biggest hits.
Let’s now hope that Ubisoft will further optimize the game on the PC. As we’ve already reported, the game currently suffers from some optimization issues on the PC platform. Thus, let’s hope that Ubisoft will release a performance patch sooner rather than later.
Stay tuned for more!

No wonder, the hype from all of the sites is crazy. I even saw ads on New York streets. Marketing budget must be crazy.
They’re living their darkest moments since their creation, they’re going from a controversy to another collecting commercial failures in the way, not to mention a lot of their execs were fired or left the company, AC Valhalla is one of their last decent and bankable products so they’re focusing a lot on the marketing (that includes buying cheap streamers and reviewers) especially since the CP 2077 delay.
I wrote a review on french site giving it a 5/10, the review was upvoted enough to be pinned but it was taken down a day after, and a lot of people complained about their negative reviews disappearing on the site, all this while the 10/10 user reviews were kept so the user score can go higher
Did you get a refund?
Nope, it was on a Uplay+ account of a friend
Or maybe some people like these games? You know, people can have very different preferences.
Call of Duty sold a lot back in the day, your point?
My point? Different people have different gaming preferences, that’s all. Do you see my point now?
Back in the day? They sell a lot to this day. And they are not necessarily bad, it’s worth a pirate at least (until they became super bloated and extremely online only)
Preferences? Stop pretending you won’t buy whatever Ubisoft markets you. You have no standards lol
Standards? Different people judge games by different standards, you holder of the high standards.
By the way, you don’t know my preferences, do you? Try The Suffering, the first one though, not the sequel. You can get it on GOG. Then you will know more about my standards.
You’re probably not going to run across a lot of people that played The Suffering although it did sell around 1.5 million copies. I passed on it when it first came out but played it later on.
I found it to be a fun mix of Shooter and Horror. I tried to save the key people but lost some and ended up with the Neutral Ending which was ok with me.
I would recommend it but not for the regular price of $10 especially with the GOG Winter Sale about a month away where you can probably pick it up for $2.50
Looking back at my 20 years of PC gaming, it’s one of my favorite shooters. I wish they would remake it.
People will like literal trash if it’s marketed well enough.
sure but how many of those can they play? I am fed up with em.
My problem with these games is they are too bloated, with repetitive side quests which you have to complete in order to level up.
to which i ask again, how many of those games do you have to play to get tired of doing the same thing over and over again?
How many before you get tired? I guess it varies between one gamer and another. I’m sure there are even some people who never get tired.
Most of these AAA games are nothing but marketing while the development expenses are minimal in comparison, same with Hollywood blockbusters.
Its out?
no, I checked fitgirl’s site.
I ment in stores! 😛
that’s the real store with great prices, no need to check other places.
There is also Epic store who will offer an extremely online game for free next week or so (Elite Dangerous).
We prefer to pirate every f*cking game that being made by sh*tty studios who s*cks chinese c*cks
Lmao, go ahead, try to pirate Elite Dangerous.
I don’t play MMO games anyway… I was talking generally
But you can’t pirate generally.
Must be all Norwegians who got it for 100 kroner.
?
I wouldn’t even pay $10 for it.
vikings = money.
if you want to make a succesful game, make it with vikings.
That’s only because of the viking setting, the game itself looks really average
well i guess the number of fools just keeps on rising….
And they are making other fools richer
and round and round it goes….
You have to hand it to them (EA)…..they actually managed to sell the same sh*t over and over…while making it seem like a whole new product….man this is crazy 😀
To be fair. I paid 15 euros for Ubi+ for a month. Played new Watch Dogs two far cry games I didn’t play before, some Anno and now AC and I don’t intend to keep the sub. All for 15 euro. Thanks Ubi 😀 I don’t see how this monetization model makes any sense for Ubi.
Because you don’t own sh*t
It doesn’t matter. I don’t intend to play those games more than once ever. So who gives a sh*t if I own them.
The way I see it is. They spend millions making these games and instead of charging me 60 or 70 each I paid 15 and I played them and I’ll never play them again and they wont get more money out of me. Economics don’t work for me for this.
I could play most of these games for zero euros if i wanted. Just finished Far Cry 3 these days.
the first one is still their best selling title
they should go back to basics with the combat and the story
That’s because it’s a good game. However 90% of the PC gamers on this site will call it trash cause it’s ubisoft and they have less powerful PCs than current Xbox series X / PS5…
You don’t get tired of writing so much bullsh/t?
you don’t get tired of being a pirate who can’t afford his own games…
Imagine paying for a 3090 just to play at 30fps in 4K
Imagine, thinking you are playing in 4K with your conslow while in fact, it’s a shtty resolution upscaled with medium/high options at best ?
1440p 144hz gang here son
the last 2 were good games too also the same, how many more can you play?
Yea that’s the exact reason.
Totally not being a Witcher 3 wannabe and 3rd reskin of Origins/Odyssey.
guess you have not played it…
Why should I play junk? Besides it’s not cracked yet.
junk? lol half of you who troll this site are the true junk.
ok its confirmed now that the world is ending…
“twice the number of active players”
In none re*arded PR talk it means it was a failure.
Corvid… the home entertainments best friend!
That would be Torrents and warez sites.
sad
Get woke, go… Oh.
Vikings sell, however bad the reputation of the trash company.
If they still using that $hitty Anvil next engine,every PC version of their game will always have optimisation issues….
wrong….the Game is Joke….the AI is the Punch Line 😀
And more then half have requested refunds. Me included. The game just feels so off. not having fun with it at all. In all honestly, I’m having way more fun playing Rune 2 Decapitation Edition. They really reworked that game. 10 times better then it originally was.

Game probably had a covid boost and a better window since cyberpunk keeps failing to meet release dates.
