Since the original released all those years ago, Black Flag has always been one of the most loved games in the series.
Hype was through the roof, but Ubisoft has had a bit of a stumble with regard to a paid content controversy, but has that affected sales?
Here's a quick overview of everything you need to know about the AC Black Flag Resynced sales numbers.
AC Black Flag Resynced sales numbers: How many copies has it sold?
At the time of writing, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has sold 2 million copies across all platforms.
Confirmed by Ubisoft via official Assassin's Creed social media channels, this was actually represents just the number of copies of the game that were sold on the day of launch itself, representing a very solid start for the game.
In a message posted to celebrate, Ubisoft stated: "To everyone who has jumped aboard the Jackdaw, shared their adventures, posted screenshots, shared gameplay, and celebrated this launch with us: thank you."

They also confirmed that the development team is listening closely to feedback, and were working on several updates including localisation and VO issues and a 30fps cutscene bug on PC.
Interestingly, 2 million copies sold is a much more successful launch than the last game in the series, AC Shadows, which hit a much lower – albeit still respectable – 1m players on its first day.
Black Flag Resynced also became the first game in the AC franchise to reach more than 100,000 concurrent players on Steam, beating out Shadows's peak of 64,825.

How many copies did the original AC Black Flag sell?
As of 2025, the original Assassin's Creed Black Flag had sold 15 million copies.
This makes it the best-selling game in the AC franchise of all time, with 11m of those sales coming in the first two years, despite a ropey start compared to its predecessor Assassin's Creed III.
Naturally, that's quite the summit to reach, and considering many players would rather replay the original than spend all that money on the remake, we might be waiting another 13 years to see Resynced eclipse the OG.
