Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has become the series' biggest launch on Steam on the day of its release. The Black Flag remake released on July 9 and reached nearly 100,000 peak concurrent players on Steam within hours, indicating a much bigger launch on PC than any previous game in the long-running series.

As per SteamDB charts, Black Flag Resynced hit 99,451 peak concurrent players on Steam at launch. Nearly 50,000 players are in the game at the time of writing. The player count is likely to grow over the weekend.

Ubisoft has not yet shared a sales figure for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, but the PC player count on Steam has already left previous games in the series behind.

Not all Assassin's Creed titles have launched day one on Steam. Previously, Ubisoft released its games on the Ubisoft Connect launcher on PC first before bringing them to Valve's storefront. Assassin's Creed Shadows marked the return of new Ubisoft releases on Steam day one.

While Steam likely forms the biggest chunk of players on PC, Black Flag Resynced is also available on Epic Games Store and the Ubisoft store. A major portion of the player base is likely on consoles, PS5 and Xbox Series S/X.
