Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla released just a week ago and managed to surpass the likes of Odyssey, Origins and even Black Flag which just like Valhalla, is also a cross-gen game. In addition to the launch week numbers, Ubisoft says Valhalla has also become the top-selling Ubisoft PC launch ever and set a new record for the Ubisoft Store at the same time.

While the company did not share exact numbers of copies moved, they claim Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla had double the amount of players than Odyssey on launch day. This is an impressive feat given that PS5 is only launching in EU regions tomorrow and many gamers are waiting for the console to start playing the game. Ubisoft says;
