Assassin’s Creed Shadows Becomes Europe’s Top-Selling New Game of 2025 to Date

Ubisoft’s Resurgence: Assassin’s Creed Shadows Dominates 2025 Sales in Europe

Amidst a tumultuous phase in Ubisoft’s history, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has emerged as a beacon of hope for the company. A recent report from The Game Business, supported by data from Europe’s Game Sales Data, reveals that it has become the top-selling new game in Europe for 2025 thus far.

Outstanding Performance in Sales

As it stands, Assassin’s Creed Shadows leads in sales among both PC and console games released in 2025. It is important to note, however, that the overall best-selling game remains last year’s EA Sports FC 25, which is expected to maintain its lead until the anticipated release of EA Sports FC 26 next month. Currently, Shadows outperforms notable titles such as Monster Hunter Wilds, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Elden Ring: Nightreign, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.

Top Contenders of 2025

According to the figures from GSD, the only game coming close to Shadows is Split-Fiction. Following closely are Monster Hunter Wilds, Mario Kart World, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. The current top twenty best-selling games in Europe for 2025 include seven releases from this year, emphasizing Shadows and its competition:

EA Sports FC 25
Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Grand Theft Auto V
Red Dead Redemption 2
Hogwarts Legacy
Split-Fiction
Monster Hunter Wilds
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Mario Kart World
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
Star Wars Battlefront II
Elden Ring: Nightreign
It Takes Two
Grand Theft Auto Online
NBA 2K25
F1 25
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege
Mario Kart 8: Deluxe
Battlefield 1

The Road Ahead

While Assassin’s Creed Shadows enjoys its current success, the future remains unpredictable. As the year progresses, it faces stiff competition not only from EA Sports FC 26, which is just around the corner, but also from various noteworthy titles yet to be released, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Battlefield 6, Borderlands 4, and Pokemon Legends Z-A.

It will be intriguing to see how this sales landscape evolves over the next few months, but for now, Ubisoft and its fans can revel in this moment of triumph.
