Assassin's creed black flag resynced sails to 2 million copies sold on day one

Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has set sail with a strong debut, selling over 2 million copies in its first 24 hours on the market.

Historical highs and mixed reactions

The remake of the 2013 original, which launched for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on July 9, has landed in the top spot on Twitch and reached a peak concurrent player count of 99,451 on Steam, a series high.

According to Ubisoft, the success of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, which offers updated graphics and gameplay mechanics, has exceeded the company's expectations.

However, not all is smooth sailing for the title. Some fans have taken to social media and Steam reviews to express disappointment with the game's microtransactions, casting a shadow over the otherwise positive reception.

IGN praised the game in its 9/10 review, hailing it as 'more than just a shinier version of the same game you remember,' and bringing the 2013 classic up to today's standards.
