Assassin's Creed Mirage player numbers "in line" with Origins, Odyssey
Ubisoft seems happy with Assassin's Creed Mirage, which it says has similar play numbers at launch as recent games such as Origins and Odyssey.
This is positive, as both Origins and Odyssey were far bigger and costlier projects, whereas Mirage is — by design — more focused.
2020's Assassin's Creed Valhalla remains the biggest Assassin's Creed launch in the series to date.
Mirage is also Ubisoft's «biggest new gen launch in terms of unit sales to date», the company said, referring to games sold only on the latest generation of machines — PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Most Ubisoft games in recent years have still arrived on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (such as last month's The Crew Motorfest). Mirage is Ubisoft's first major console launch not to do so, something the upcoming arrivals of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Skull and Bones and Star Wars Outlaws will continue.
«Assassin's Creed Mirage has been out for six days now and we are thrilled by the love and positivity we have received over the last week,» reads a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter.
