Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced hits 3 million sales in first week

Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has surpassed 3 million copies sold during its first week of release. This follows a strong launch day that brought in 2 million sales for the remake, which arrived on July 9th.

According to the publisher, player reception has steadily improved following a series of post-launch updates. Steam user reviews now sit at a Very Positive rating, driven by ongoing quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes informed by player feedback. Ubisoft also confirmed that a highly requested New Game+ mode is currently in development for the title.

Rebuilt from the ground up by Ubisoft Singapore, the title is a complete remake of the 2013 original, using the latest version of the Anvil engine. Visuals have been completely overhauled alongside core gameplay systems. The update introduces parry-focused combat, upgraded stealth and parkour mechanics, expanded naval gameplay, and brand-new story content. Players step into the shoes of pirate captain Edward Kenway during the Golden Age of Piracy, navigating the historical conflict between the Assassins and Templars alongside real figures like Blackbeard, Anne Bonny, and Calico Jack.

The game is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via the Ubisoft Store, Epic Games Store, and Steam, where it is officially Steam Deck Verified. It is also accessible through the Ubisoft+ subscription service.

KitGuru Says: Overhauling a beloved classic like Black Flag seems to have paid off for Ubisoft, and the upcoming addition of a New Game+ mode should keep that player momentum going.
