Assassin's Creed Shadows Was the Best-Selling Game in the U.S. for March

"Assassin's Creed Shadows claimed its spot as the best-selling title of March 2025 in the U.S., Xbox, and Steam, leading the pack while ranking second globally—just behind Monster Hunter: Wilds but ahead of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Ubisoft, which faced a challenging year with multiple flops and share price declines before the release, saw this as a turning point to prove its success. Day-one sales surpassed records, and over 40 million hours were played in the first month, setting an impressive YTD foundation. Meanwhile, broader trends showed a dip in content spending as mobile usage decreased by 6% year-over-year."
