Although Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced launched to "Mixed" reviews on Steam, it's proving to be one of the most popular entries on PC from Ubisoft's legendary franchise. On Steam, at least.

Standing as a remake of what might just be the series' peak title, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has climbed its way up Steam's ranks over the past few days – so much so, in fact, that it's set a new record for the Assassin's Creed name.

As per SteamDB, the revamped gem hit over 100,000 concurrent players on Valve's platform yesterday… only three days after its July 9 release date. That's quite a figure, considering the game's predecessors' own.

The second-highest concurrent player count ever hit by an Assassin's Creed game is 64,825, for comparison – and yes, that number belongs to none other than Assassin's Creed Shadows, Ubisoft's previous entry to its nearly 20-year-old series.

After that, Assassin's Creed Odyssey sits in third place with a peak of 62,069. Then, the figures drop a bit more with Assassin's Creed Origins, with only 41,551 players back in 2017.

It only gets lower – quite a bit, too – from there, with every following game dropping below 20,000 concurrent players. Interestingly, the original Black Flag boasts a peak of only 16,049… a good 88,707 fewer players than Resynced, with its own 104,756.

That's one heck of a big difference, but I suppose it makes sense. If most folks are anything like me, they were probably playing the OG game on Xbox or PlayStation back in 2013.

Now, PC players have grown in number – and Resynced's peak concurrent player count on Steam only proves as much.
