Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has seemingly managed to turn things around following a wave of negative reviews on launch day. Not only has its Steam review rating swung from “Mixed” to “Mostly Positive”\u2014with 77% of the game’s 3,555 English reviews now positive\u2014Ubisoft has also announced that Black Flag Resynced has sold over 2 million copies in just over 24 hours since its launch. This at least matches but possibly exceeds the day-one performance of 007 First Light<\/a>, which sold 1.5 million units in 24 hours. <\/p>\n

Previously, reviews on Steam frequently complained about the game’s microtransactions<\/a>, which totaled to more than the $69.99 price of the Deluxe Edition. It’s not entirely surprising that the game has reached such heights, given that its day-one Steam peak player count, as reported<\/a> by SteamDB, was 99,451 players, beating out every other Assassin’s Creed game to date\u2014the previous record belonged to Assassin’s Creed Shadows with 64,825 peak concurrent players.<\/p>\n

Aside from complaints about the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced’s microtransactions, reports about both the gameplay and the remaster quality are generally positive, with many praising the new combat system and the game’s upgraded visuals. Despite the success of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, Ubisoft has reportedly<\/a> moved forward with layoffs at Ubisoft Barcelona<\/a>, which saw 28% of the studio’s staff left without work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has seemingly managed to turn things around following a wave of negative reviews…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":794214,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,61],"class_list":["post-794213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=794213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/794214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=794213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=794213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=794213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
