We don't know, the Steam version according to SteamSpy did 1-2 million copies, so at least 1 million copies were sold and you have to add X sales from uPlay and we don't have numbers.
I can't give you numbers, but afaik it sold veryy well. If you reference on concurrent players, that is normal. The game is a year old and the sequel just released.
Wow, I actually didn't expect that, tbh. I thought people would be burnt out of another massive AC game after Origins last year.
And this is not the final peak, it will easily reach 50k this weekend.

All time peak for Origins was decent. It was actually the highest peak for AC game, only beaten today with Odyssey.
They are not low, if you exclude uPlay numbers, we don't have complete data to judge.
I have Origins but never started it. And everything I'm seeing is making this game look good as well so Im not sure if I wanna just buy it and play the latest. These numbers make it seem like this is a really solid entry as well
So is the scenario here that Origins was good and restored interest in the series and Odyssey improves upon Origins?

Yes and so? What's the point? I said it earlier: "WE DON'T HAVE COMPLETE DATA".
The peak might be 100k or 80k or 60k if you have uPlay numbers, we don't know.
Read my first post for the point, I'm not gonna go back and forth with this.
> You said: "They are low"
> I said: "We don't have enough data to say if they are low or not because no uPlay numbers"
> You brought up Far Cry 5 a totally different game to prove your point
> You brought another game to try to prove your point
> You can't prove your point with no data, because we don't have uPlay numbers.
END.
You are the one who's going back and forth, i'm out.
And DS3 almost 130 000 boom!
Not even hittting 50 seems quite bad. I wonder how many are using uplay?
Though I did think it would do worse than origins, wich IMO was a boring ass game. I'll might pick this one up in a future sale.
But he's only comparing Steam data with Steam data.
Before old Steamspy shutdown the number of Steam copies were (up to 10th Apr):
- Origins: 743,600 ±26,316
- FC5: 764,324 ±26,680 (Note: Released March 27th)
Here's the other entries:
- FC4: 1,190,005 ±33,277
- Primal: 478,586 ±21,118
- FC3: 3,297,686 ±55,280
- AC Syndicate: 497,359 ±21,528
- AC Unity: 656,562 ±24,730
But yes, apparently Uplay share is bigger at least at launch period.

The FC 3 to 4 drop is crazy, I wonder if 5 can reach that high again.
Well, I mean, obviously the game isn't going to do as well as Witcher 3 did on PC. But that doesn't mean that it's low.
I think they are referring to filling a (apparently great) $60 game with mobile-like microtransactions and premium currency crap.
Glad to hear. This is absolutely the best game in the series and one of the best open world RPGs since Mass Effect died.
Can't wait to get this game next month. As it stands I've still not finished origins (just got back into it again, and loving it) and there's dragon quest, xenoblade 2 dlc and in the future RDR2 to be finished.
Damn, is Odyssey really that great? I loved Origins, but I'm a little burnt out and was going to wait for the AC3 remaster.
Does Odyssey improve the side quests, and are missions just outposts and carrying people back to where they need to go?
I absolutely loved Origins, but if it's more of the same, I'll wait for a sale with the season pass.
It has very easy explanation though:
Between Far Cry 3 and 4, Ubisoft stopped doing heavy discounts on Steam. So you'd have to buy huge premium for Steam version.
Like FC3 would regularly be sold for 5€, ~ 1 year after release.
Cheapest FC4 has ever been on Steam is 12€ and that was this year just before release of Far Cry 5, over 3 years after release. Before that it was 15€, 3 times the price of FC3.
Also let's not forget FC4 has season pass, which costs same as game. So basically it has been 15/30€ vs 5€.
But It's also likely that FC4 did do more profit though, even assuming no one bought any of DLC.
Origins had double the launch numbers of Syndicate. Remember that people don't just buy Ubi games on steam, there's also places like Uplay.
People keep mentioning UPlay but do we know how big of a share they have there? I imagine the big majority will be on Steam if it's availabe there.
Not really. There's UPlay exclusive 20% off for most, if not every, Ubisoft game.
It is when the game hamstrings players not willing to pay up to avoid the grind designed to make the game as tedious as possible if they don't.
You carry on being a corporate cheerleader though.
In my experience so far, all the keys I've gotten for Ubisoft games from CDKeys and GMG have been Uplay keys. Since folks will most likely look for deals on these kinds of games I think the Uplay numbers will be bigger then Steam or at least very comparable. Just guessing of course though.
An RPG having an endgame where it takes longer to lvl up isn't a developer trying to make players pay for something that targets a small minority of the player base. Are me and Nome corporate cheerleaders for explaining how these things work?
Odyssey is very immersive game and the best AC to date for me. Story element seems to improve a lot because most AC seems to lack on writing. This time i actually care what gonna happened next. Again the urban myth "grindy" is not true.
Glad to see it going well despite forecast on both ERA and public seems to think this game gonna half bomba
There are some glitchy though.

It doesn't hamstring players in any way. Carry on being a Jim cheerleader though.
