Assassin’s Creed Shadows Tops U.S. Sales Charts for Third Straight Week
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* continues its winning streak, holding the top spot in U.S. sales for the third consecutive week since launch. According to Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, the game is now the **second best-selling title of 2025**, trailing only *Monster Hunter: Wilds*.
Despite a rocky lead-up with delays and leaks, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* has been praised as a strong return to form for the franchise, following the more mixed reception of *Assassin’s Creed Mirage*. Critics and fans alike have responded positively to its expansive RPG gameplay and detailed world.
Ubisoft’s decision to include *Shadows* on Ubisoft+ led to speculation it might hurt sales, but the data proves otherwise. The game’s strong performance is a much-needed win for Ubisoft, especially following the creation of a Tencent-backed studio to manage key franchises.
More content is on the way, with the **Claws of Awaji** expansion confirmed for later this year. While a release date hasn’t been announced yet, Ubisoft is expected to reveal more details soon.
