Vantage Studios, a Ubisoft company, announced on Jul 17, 2026 that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced had sold more than 3 million copies in a week. The game was released on Jul 9, and the company said it started strong with 2 million copies sold on day 1. It said the new milestone confirmed that momentum. Ubisoft filed the announcement with the AMF, France's financial markets regulator, as inside information, the label for news that a listed company must publish as soon as it can because it may move its share price.1^,2^,3^,4

The release said critics received the game positively at launch and that player feedback had been increasingly positive since, with Steam user reviews improving to Very Positive. It credited responsive post-launch support for the stronger player sentiment, including quality-of-life updates, bug fixes and the announcement of a New Game+ mode that it called highly requested. The company described the mode as further enhancing replayability for the most dedicated players.5^,6
