Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced opens to 2 million sales on launch day

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has sold two million copies on launch day, with Ubisoft calling it a "strong start." The game was the top-ranked on Twitch at launch and reached a concurrent Steam peak of 99,451 players, the highest ever for an Assassin's Creed title on the platform. The game is set during the Golden Age of Piracy and follows Edward Kenway. Despite the strong sales, some players have criticized the inclusion of cosmetic microtransactions in the single-player game, a long-standing issue associated with Ubisoft.
