Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has kicked off its journey in the best possible way. The highly anticipated return of Edward Kenway has not only awakened the nostalgia of millions of players but has also become one of the biggest recent successes of Ubisoft, achieving impressive sales figures in just one day.

After years of requests from the community, the pirate classic has returned with visual improvements, new graphics modes, and an update that seems to have convinced both veterans and those who never got to enjoy the original.

Ubisoft confirms a spectacular launch

Ubisoft itself has announced that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has sold 2 million copies in its first 24 hours on sale, a result that confirms the huge interest in the return of one of the most beloved installments of the franchise.

• The success is not limited to sales alone. On its launch day, the game also managed to become the most-watched title on Twitch, while on Steam it reached a peak of 99,451 concurrent players, a very notable figure for a remake of a game originally published over a decade ago.

These figures reinforce Ubisoft’s bet on recovering some of its most iconic releases, demonstrating that Black Flag remains one of the most popular chapters in the entire Assassin’s Creed saga. However, the excellent commercial performance comes at a complicated time for the company. According to a recent report by Insider Gaming, Ubisoft has also laid off 51 employees after the game’s launch, a decision that contrasts with the success achieved by this new version.

With such a strong launch, everything points to Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced continuing to attract players over the next few weeks and is already shaping up to be one of Ubisoft’s most important releases in 2026 so far.
