The newest instalment in Ubisoft's blockbuster "Assassin's Creed" franchise received a "very positive" rating on Steam based on 751 user reviews, with 80% of them being positive, around four hours after its launch on the game distribution platform.

Assassin's Creed Shadows has parkoured past 1,000,000 players in under 24 hours. Naturally, Ubisoft immediately bragged about it on social media. It's not even 4PM here in Canada and Assassin's Creed Shadows has already passed 1 million players!

Shadows is coming for at least one series record, however. As of writing, there are currently more than 58,000 people playing Assassin's Creed Shadows at the same time over on Steam, the second-biggest player peak in series history, and it's steadily rising to beat AC Odyssey in the record books.
