Assassin’s Creed Valhalla doubled Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s day-1 player counts

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla is a huge success for Ubisoft, achieving day-1 player counts which are more than double that of Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, a game which already stands as one of the most popular in the franchise. 

These high player counts come across PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series X/S, with Ubisoft expecting another influx of players as the PlayStation 5 launches across the globe.

Ubisoft has stated that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has “reached high levels of viewership and engagement on Twitch and YouTube” of any of their newly launched games to date. With this in mind, Ubisoft is expecting Assassin’s Creed Valhalla to be one of the biggest hits of the 2020 holiday season.
