It looks like the microtransaction controversy and mixed user reviews didn't stop Assassin's Creed Odyssey from topping the launch-week sales of Assassin's Creed: Origins, Syndicate, Unity and Black Flag, becoming the best-selling AC title of this console generation after its launch period on the global market with a serious perspective of topping all AC games when it comes to overall performing.
"We are incredibly proud of what the team accomplished with Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and humbled by the amazing reception from critics and players. Based on the quality of the game and the very encouraging reactions from players, we expect Odyssey to be one of the top performing Assassin's Creed games of all-time," said Geoffroy Sardin, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Ubisoft. "Launch is just the start of this epic journey. We have robust content plans for Assassin's Creed Odyssey that will keep players engaged and exploring the game's beautiful and compelling world for a long time to come."
Odyssey is also performing well on Steam, as the title recently shattered the AC concurrent players record with 62k players on Sunday, beating the previous Origins’ 41k record. It looks like Assassin's Creed's future is bright and with Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot's promise that the company won't launch a new AC game next year, Odyssey may be remembered as the best-selling title in the franchise.
