3.5 Million Black Flag Resynced Copies Sold-In Within 14 Days
Ubisoft reported 3.5 million copies of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced sold-in within 14 days of its July 9, 2026 launch. The publisher said that total already beat its expectations for the full year.
Earlier milestones used the wording “copies sold”: 2 million on launch day, then more than 3 million within a week, announced July 17, 2026.
In its July 23 sales release, Ubisoft said Resynced shows it can use proven catalog brands through remakes to reach new players. Its R&D outlays sit beside other publishers’ in these game development cost statistics.
The remake of 2013’s Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag scored 84 on OpenCritic and Metacritic, per Ubisoft. It launched on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Ubisoft+.

Video Game Remakes and Remasters Statistics on Steam
Black Flag Resynced peaked at 104,756 concurrent Steam players in its launch week, a record for the Assassin’s Creed series on Steam. Assassin’s Creed Shadows had peaked at 64,825.
Halo: Campaign Evolved went the other way, peaking at 25,376 about ten hours after its global launch. That ranks 17th among Xbox Game Studios launches on Steam by peak players.
Steam peaks leave out console, Game Pass and Ubisoft+ players. Both 2026 remakes also launched on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Buyers skew between ages 32 and 40, Alinea found; wider patterns sit in this breakdown of gamer spending by age group.
By platform, Alinea puts copies at 42% Xbox console and PC, 41% PlayStation and 17% Steam, worth about $67 million in gross revenue.
