Unity, the 2014 installment of Assassin’s Creed, one of the world’s most storied gaming series, continues to be talked about even after a decade. Initially criticized for its flawed design, the game has now broken a record. According to SteamDB data, Assassin’s Creed Unity reached 4,522 concurrent players in the last 24 hours, marking its highest player count since September 2023.

Assassin’s Creed Unity is back on the market

The game’s record-breaking success stems from a significant discount. With an 85% discount, the game’s price dropped to $4.49, attracting significant player interest.

The game, which successfully captures the chaotic atmosphere of French Revolutionary Paris and tells the story of the assassin Arno Dorian, has received positive feedback over the past decade thanks to bug fixes implemented by Ubisoft. Initially negative experiences gave way to more positive reviews, and the game has maintained its popularity.

This record player count is notable for coming nearly a decade after the game’s release. Players are noting a rediscovery of Unity’s distinct atmosphere and gameplay mechanics, especially compared to recent Assassin’s Creed games.

This demonstrates that not only the price but also the cult status the game has gained over the years has played a significant role in this success. The game’s resurgence on community forums and social media, along with this discount, is attracting a new player base.
