Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced reportedly sold 3.5 million copies within two weeks, exceeding Ubisoft’s expectations for the entire financial year. The result matters because it signals unusually strong demand for the Assassin’s Creed release and could bolster Ubisoft’s performance after a challenging period.

Ubisoft described the game’s PC performance as “historical”, suggesting that computer sales were particularly strong alongside other platforms. The reported 3.5 million sales figure was reached in just a fortnight, though the article does not specify the proportion sold on each platform or the company’s original full-year target.
