Souls-likes have become an increasingly prominent genre within the video games space, with developers from across the world offering their own take on the highly-popular gameplay design format made famous by FromSoftware. While far from the peak of the genre, 2025’s Wuchang: Fallen Feathers did make an impression upon its initial release. Despite the reported shuttering of its dev studio, Wuchang has continued to find new players, with the game having now surpassed 5 million in total.

Taking to the game’s Steam page to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, publisher 505 Games revealed that the souls-like has surpassed a major milestone, writing:

“On this very special day, we're also delighted to confirm that we've surpassed 5 million players. Thank you to every single person who has played, supported, shared, and believed in WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers. Reaching this incredible milestone has only been possible thanks to this amazing community.”

It’s worth mentioning that 5 million players does not equate to 5 million copies sold, especially given that the game was added to PlayStation Plus back in May – likely helping to boost overall player numbers.

As mentioned, the studio behind Wuchang: Fallen Feathers – Leenzee – reportedly shut down just a couple months ago following backlash from fans due to claims of ‘censorship’ made after the game’s initial release. While nothing has been confirmed, the blog post celebrating Wuchang’s anniversary shied away from making any reference to studio ‘Leenzee’ (with the only mention of the team being as part of some legalese at the bottom of some celebratory art work.)

Regardless, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is worth checking out by fans of the souls-like genre.

Prior to its launch, there was a palpable amount of excitement surrounding Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Remake, with its pre-release materials showcasing a faithful yet-visually-overhauled reinterpretation of the publisher’s 2013 classic. Even so, the game’s rapid success seems to have taken Ubisoft by surprise, with the company revealing that Black Flag Resynced has exceeded “annual expectations within its first 14 days.”

As part of the publisher’s latest fiscal earning reports (covering Q1 of 2026), Ubisoft revealed that the recently-released Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has far outperformed expectations, writing:

“Released on July 9, 2026, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has made a strong start with 3.5 million copies sold-in to date, exceeding annual expectations within its first 14 days.”

While the sales figure itself is not surprising (with Ubisoft recently announcing that the game had sold 3 million copies), the fact that Resynced managed to surpass its first year expectations in just two weeks is both impressive and suggests that Ubisoft were – perhaps for the first time – being conservative with their estimates.

What this means for the future of Ubisoft and Assassin’s Creed, we will have to wait and see. That said, it is safe to assume that they will be doubling down on remakes from this point onwards. It will be interesting to see what the rumoured AC1 remake winds up looking like.

KitGuru says: Are you one of the 3.5 million? How does it compare to the likes of AC: Shadows, Valhalla and Mirage? Will Resynced surpass 10 million copies sold when all is said and done? Let us know down below.

In a surprise announcement last week, Bethesda Game Studios shared a lengthy post detailing their future, including confirmation that Fallout 5 is a real thing alongside official details on the long-rumoured Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters. As part of this, the team also offered updates on the sales performance for its RPGs, revealing that Starfield has amassed just two million more players over the course of the past year and a half.

As part of their recent post detailing the future of Fallout, The Elder Scrolls and Bethesda as a whole, the team at BGS also gave up-to-date sales figures for its past 3 titles, writing: “With over 65 million copies sold, players are still exploring Skyrim 15 years later.”

With regards to Fallout 4, BGS claimed that “Fallout 4, the most award-winning game in the franchise, just celebrated its 10-year anniversary and recently passed over 35 million copies sold, continuing to attract a new audience every year.”

Curiously, when it came to discussing Starfield, the verbiage used was quite different, writing: “With over 17 million players logging almost a billion hours to date, Starfield remains an important part of our future.”

As always, 17 million players does not equate to 17 million copies sold, especially given the fact that Starfield was a day-one Game Pass addition. Offering some further context, it appears as though interest in Starfield has dwindled, with this latest announcement marking an increase of just 2 million players compared to their last performance update back in late 2024.

Starfield was a pretty launch-heavy game, interest-wise, with the 2023 title amassing over 10 million players in its first month on the market. Given that nearly 3 years on from this, the total number of players has only increased to 17 million, it’s safe to assume that Bethesda’s first new IP in decades will not be able to match the scale of either Fallout or The Elder Scrolls.

Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has surpassed 3 million copies sold during its first week of release. This follows a strong launch day that brought in 2 million sales for the remake, which arrived on July 9th.

According to the publisher, player reception has steadily improved following a series of post-launch updates. Steam user reviews now sit at a Very Positive rating, driven by ongoing quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes informed by player feedback. Ubisoft also confirmed that a highly requested New Game+ mode is currently in development for the title.

Rebuilt from the ground up by Ubisoft Singapore, the title is a complete remake of the 2013 original, using the latest version of the Anvil engine. Visuals have been completely overhauled alongside core gameplay systems. The update introduces parry-focused combat, upgraded stealth and parkour mechanics, expanded naval gameplay, and brand-new story content. Players step into the shoes of pirate captain Edward Kenway during the Golden Age of Piracy, navigating the historical conflict between the Assassins and Templars alongside real figures like Blackbeard, Anne Bonny, and Calico Jack.

The game is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via the Ubisoft Store, Epic Games Store, and Steam, where it is officially Steam Deck Verified. It is also accessible through the Ubisoft+ subscription service.

KitGuru Says: Overhauling a beloved classic like Black Flag seems to have paid off for Ubisoft, and the upcoming addition of a New Game+ mode should keep that player momentum going.

While sentiment surrounding the franchise can vary from release-to-release, the Assassin’s Creed series remains one of Ubisoft’s biggest and most successful. In the wake of the long-awaited launch of AC Black Flag Resynced, Ubisoft have now confirmed that Assassin’s Creed as a franchise has sold over 250 million copies.

Making the announcement via a press release, the team at Ubisoft shared initial sales figures for the recently-released Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced remake – confirming that over 2 million units were sold in the first 24 hours.

This is but the cherry on top however, with the publisher now revealing that “since it first launched in 2007, the Assassin's Creed series has sold more than 250 million games worldwide.”

According to the company, this puts AC as “one of the best-selling series in video game history”. While sales data in the video games space remains rather elusive, based on what is known, Assassin’s Creed is currently the 8th best-selling franchise of all time – surpassing the likes of Final Fantasy (212 million), Resident Evil (201 million) and NBA 2K (173 million).

Breaking down the growth of the Assassin’s Creed franchise over the years, we can see that 20 million copies of various AC titles were sold in the past 10 months – with the full timeline being as follows:

• 2010: 20M
• 2014: 73M
• 2016: 100M
• 2019: 140M
• 2020: 155M
• 2022: 200M
• 2025: 230M
• 2026: 250M

Love it or hate it, the Assassin’s Creed franchise continues to be a core pillar for Ubisoft. It will be interesting to see just how many copies Black Flag Resynced manages to push as time goes on.

KitGuru says: What do you think of Assassin’s Creed in 2026? How many of the dozen+ entries have you played? Will it one day surpass FIFA’s total sales of over 325 million? Let us know down below.

For many, the Assassin’s Creed franchise peaked during the late PS3 and early PS4 era, with the likes of the Ezio Trilogy and Black Flag not only being some of the highest rated entries in the franchise, but also some of the best-selling. It therefore comes as little surprise that the long-awaited Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced remake has launched to a great deal of enthusiasm – selling over 2 million copies in 24 hours.

Taking to Twitter to make the official announcement, the Assassin’s Creed page confirmed this major milestone, writing: “Dash my Buttons… Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has already passed 2 million copies sold! Whether you're sailing with us again, or stepping aboard the Jackdaw for the first time: THANK YOU from the bottom of ARR hearts.”

2 million copies sold in 24 hours is already an impressive achievement. Putting it into context however reveals just how big of a deal this appears to be.

Compared to the latest original entry in the series, Black Flag Resynced is already off to a much stronger start, with last year’s AC Shadows only managing to surpass 1 million players on day-one.

1 million players of course does not equate to 1 million copies sold, with the game being available day-one on Ubisoft’s subscription service. Black Flag Resynced was also added to Ubisoft+ right from launch and yet its sales have doubled that of Shadows’ player numbers.

As mentioned, Assassin's Creed Black Flag is one of the highest rated and most successful entries in the AC series, and so it is perhaps unsurprising to see interest peak as it has.

Of course, had the remake been bad, then we likely would not be seeing this level of success – and so kudos must be given to the teams at Ubisoft Singapore and beyond for managing to translate this modern classic for new audiences.

Palworld took the ‘world’ by storm when it first launched into Early Access back in 2024. While much of the initial discourse surrounded the fact that the game seemed to take heavy inspiration from the likes of Pokemon, the game itself is a different beast entirely, offering an interesting blend of open-world survival-crafting alongside monster collecting. 2 and a half years on from launch, Palworld is finally set to hit version 1.0, with the team revealing that the game has amassed over 40 million players during this time.

Releasing a video to celebrate the milestone, studio PocketPair officially revealed that since the game’s Early Access launch in January 2024, Palworld has amassed over 40 million players – just in time for its 1.0 release on the 10th of July (tomorrow).

Of course, 40 million players does not equate to 40 million copies sold, with Palworld being a day-one addition to Xbox Game Pass. Even so, the team reported shortly after launch that it had sold over 6 million copies in 4 days – meaning full sales numbers are likely far greater by now.

Regardless of sales however, this marks a major moment for Palworld, with the game finally set to leave Early Access. While we have yet to get full patch notes for the upcoming update, it looks to be rather meaty, with the team previously teasing over 27 pages worth of fixes and additions.

Back during the early days of Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft had expressed its hopes for the game subscription service to grow into a major player across all of entertainment, wanting the platform to one day reach as many as 100 million subscribers. In the years since, not only has the industry changed in many ways, but so too has Game Pass itself. Even so, it appears as though the service is struggling to break past its ceiling – with Game Pass reportedly still stuck at around 30 million subscribers.

In a report by The Wall Street Journal (paywalled) discussing Microsoft’s recent Xbox shake-ups, the publication revealed that the console maker had “projected Game Pass subscriptions would reach around 77 million this year”. Unfortunately for Xbox, they are far from reaching this goal, with the publication reporting that Game Pass “currently has about 30 million, a person familiar with the matter said.”

For some context, Microsoft announced back in early 2022 that Game Pass had reached 25 million subscribers. Two years later, the company revealed that the figure had jumped to 34 million subscribers.

While initially seen as a solid amount of growth, this increase came in the wake of Microsoft’s Game Pass overhaul – in which previous Xbox Live Gold members were transitioned over to Game Pass.

Since then, Microsoft made further changes to Game Pass: Hiked up its price massively (losing millions of subscribers in the meantime); added Call of Duty; removed Call of Duty and brought prices back down slightly.

While it is safe to assume that Xbox will likely never reach its 100 million Game Pass subscriber maker, CEO Asha Sharma has recently expressed even more ambitious goals – wanting Xbox to one day have over 1 Billion daily active users. We will have to wait and see whether either of these pipe-dreams come true.

Atlus has announced that Persona 3 Reload has surpassed 3 million copies sold worldwide across all platforms. To celebrate the milestone, the publisher has discounted the RPG by 65% on PC, marking its lowest price since launch during the Steam Summer Sale.

According to the publisher, this sales figure includes both physical retail shipments and digital purchases. The milestone arrives alongside a broader promotional campaign from Atlus, with the company reducing prices on several of its prominent titles for the seasonal Steam sale.

Score-wise, this turn-based JRPG has been very well received by critics and gamers, achieving an 87 on OpenCritic and a 94% Steam rating with over 57K reviews.

Beyond the price cut for Persona 3 Reload, players can grab discounts (up to 80%) on other Atlus titles such as Metaphor: ReFantazio and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. Raidou Remastered: The Legend of the Super-Powered Army is also included in the promotion. These offers will remain live for a limited time during the summer sale.

KitGuru says: Persona 3 Reload has clearly been a major success for Atlus, and a 65% discount makes it a great opportunity to jump in if you haven't already.

While the most recent entry in the series has been mired with plenty of controversies, the Monster Hunter franchise has had a huge resurgence over the past 10 or so years thanks in part to the explosive success of 2018’s Monster Hunter World. Already Capcom’s best-selling game of all time, the co-op focused action-RPG has now reached a new milestone – officially selling over 30 million units.

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, the official Monster Hunter page confirmed that: “Monster Hunter: World has reached a combined 30 million units sold! A massive thank you to all of you, our faithful pards!”

The ‘combined’ sales in which they are referring to brings together both the sales of the base game as well as units sold via the ‘Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Master Edition’ – which included both base game and its expansion. For context, Iceborne alone sold over 16 million units, making the expansion Capcom’s 5th best-selling ‘game’ of all time.

While Resident Evil 2’s remake will likely surpass it soon, Capcom’s second best-selling game of all time is another Monster Hunter – Rise – currently sitting at 18.6 million. Similar to World, its ‘Sunbreak’ expansion is also a Capcom best-seller at 11.3 million units sold.

Last and also least, the most recent entry in the series, Monster Hunter Wilds, continues to see relatively slow sales following its explosive launch, currently landing at 11.4 million

Regardless of which game is right at the top, it is quite clear that by this point Monster Hunter is one of Capcom’s biggest franchises. It will be interesting to see what the team have planned for Wilds and beyond – and whether any future title will manage to reach the heights of MH: World.

While oft-forgotten in racing game discourse, Ubisoft’s The Crew series has been trucking along healthily for quite a few years, amassing millions of players who enjoy the publisher’s take on an open-world festival-styled racer. Less than 3 years on from its initial launch, Ubisoft’s The Crew Motorfest has reached a major player milestone.

Taking to its socials to make the announcement, the official ‘The Crew’ page revealed that Motorfest had surpassed a new milestone, writing: “10 million players. Thank you to everyone who has made The Crew Motorfest what it is today. Beyond this incredible milestone, it’s great to see more and more of you becoming part of the community month after month.”

It appears as though the game has managed to maintain its momentum over the years, with the company revealing some impressive statistics: “From 1 million monthly active players at launch to a peak of 3 million last May, this journey reflects the ever-growing enthusiasm around the game over the years.”

Concluding on a thankful note, the team wrote: “Your passion for vehicles, competition, exploration, customisation, and all car cultures inspires us every day to keep building new experiences for you. Stay tuned for what comes next. See you at Motorfest!”

As always, it is worth noting that 10 million players does not equate to 10 million copies sold, with the likes of Motorfest being available to play through Ubisoft’s subscription service.

That being said, this milestone is still worth celebrating, and shows that Ubisoft’s continued commitment to offering new and free updates has been paying off. It will be interesting to see what’s next in store for The Crew.

Unlike some of the publisher’s franchises, Capcom have been rather sparing when it comes to releasing new entries in the popular Devil May Cry series. That’s not for lack of demand however, with the latest title – Devil May Cry 5 – continuing to sell like hotcakes; recently achieving its best 12 months of sales ever despite being 7 years old.

As reported by the Japanese publication GameSpark (and translated by VGC), Capcom recently updated their ‘Consumer Business Sales Volume’ chart offering a breakdown of the publisher's various game sales on a year-by-year basis.

In an interesting revelation, Devil May Cry 5 (the latest entry in the series) actually managed to have its best year ever sales-wise, despite launching all the way back in 2019.

With a total of 2.7 million copies sold over the past 12 months (ending March 31st), DMC 5 even managed to outdo its initial launch-year high of 2.1 million copies sold.

All-in-all, Devil May Cry 5 has now managed to sell just shy of 13 million copies – representing more than a 3rd of the entire franchise’s lifetime sales.

Of course, there are a number of factors to consider. Firstly, the game has seen plenty of discounts over the years, including a recent all-time low of just £3.74. Additionally, various other DMC-related media have been released in the years since its arrival, including the likes of the Devil May Cry animated series as well as the mobile-focused spin-off DMC: Peak of Combat – though the impact of the latter was likely minimal.

Either way, as the years go on, Devil May Cry seems to only be growing in popularity. Hopefully Capcom has a DMC 6 currently cooking in the developmental oven. It will be interesting to see whether the upcoming Switch 2 port manages to push the title past 15 million.

One of the big surprise moments from Microsoft’s recent Xbox Games Showcase was the official announcement that Toys For Bob are working on a brand new Spyro entry – the first one in almost two decades. With the cat now out of the bag, the team at Toys For Bob have been sharing some behind-the-scenes stats and facts, revealing that 2018’s Reignited Trilogy Remake has sold over 11 million copies.

In an interview with the publication GamesRadar+, Toys For Bob studio head Paul Yan and associate creative director Lou Studdert were asked why they chose to partner with Microsoft to develop a brand new Spyro game – even after going independent.

According to Studdert: “Spyro has kind of a deep place in our studio's heart. We've always admired that kind of small but mighty underdog story of the character that's taking on these overwhelming odds, you know, we see ourselves in that a little bit, and honestly, it just was a no-brainer.”

Going into greater specifics, the director continued, “since we made Reignited, we have had the hope to take him further,” with studio head Yan adding:

“Going independent was taking on massive, massive risk, right? It's taking a bet on ourselves. We knew coming out of Reignited – that title sold over 11 million copies, so there's an audience that woke up to show up for that series […] When we came up to Xbox and said, listen, here's our plan, we said, ‘look, there's a community, it's loud and consistent, they know what they want, you're here to make this game, what else do you need, let's get this thing going.”

For years now, Microsoft has shied away from sharing concrete sales data for its games, and so having official confirmation of Spyro: The Reignited Trilogy’s success is welcome to see.

Whether the upcoming ‘A Realm Beyond’ will manage to reach similar figures, we will have to wait and see, but if Crash Bandicoot 4 is anything to go by, then expect quite a significant fall-off when compared to the remake.

11 years ago The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt released, quickly becoming one of the most celebrated games of all time while catapulting studio CD Projekt Red to new heights. A decade later and the open world RPG continues to be more popular than ever. Following the announcement that the game is set to receive a surprise 3rd expansion next year, CDPR have confirmed that The Witcher 3 has officially sold over 65 million copies.

Making the announcement as part of the studio’s Q1 2026 Earnings report, CDPR officially confirmed that since its release back in 2015, The Witcher 3 has sold over 65 million copies.

This puts it as one of the best selling games of all time, currently sitting between the original Super Mario Bros. (58 million) and Terraria (70 million copies sold) in 8th place.

For context, back in January of this year CDPR confirmed that TW3 had sold a total of 60 million copies, meaning a further 5 million were sold in the past 4 or so months alone.

Given that we’re set to receive a new major expansion over a decade on from Blood and Wine, it will be interesting to see how sales for the title continue to track over the next year in the lead-up to ‘Songs of the Past’s release.

After working for over a decade exclusively on the Hitman franchise, IO Interactive decided to branch out, recently launching 007: First Light. Early reception towards the title appears to be positive, and so too has its sales, with IOI revealing that over 1.5 million copies were sold within the first 24 hours.

Taking to BlueSky to make the announcement, the official 007 First Light page confirmed that 1.5 million copies were sold within its first 24 hours, writing:

“1.5 million copies sold! Thank you for showing up to the launch of 007 First Light, for your overwhelming enthusiasm and for sharing your experience with the game.”

As mentioned, 007 First Light has been met with a positive reception across the board, amassing an aggregate score of 87 on Metacritic and an 88 on OpenCritic. Players appear to be equally receptive to the new title, currently sitting at a ‘Very Positive’ on Steam across 6 and a half thousand reviews. PlayStation users meanwhile have given First Light 4.8/5 based on 5.8k reviews.

All in all, it seems like 007 First Light is both a critical and commercial success. It will be interesting to see how the discourse evolves as more people get their hands on the game and form their own opinions.

While it could have been argued that Monster Hunter was quickly becoming Capcom’s flagship franchise, the past few years seem to have cemented Resident Evil as the publisher’s premiere series. In the wake of Resident Evil Requiem’s rapid and ongoing success, Capcom have revealed that the RE franchise has officially exceeded 200 million copies sold.

Taking to their site to update their Platinum Titles list (games which have sold over 1 million copies), Capcom revealed that as of the 31st of March, the latest Resident Evil Requiem managed to sell over 6.9 million copies – immediately putting it as their 15th best-selling game of all time

Of course, RE Requiem only officially released at the tail-end of February, meaning it has likely sold far more since these figures were tallied.

Perhaps more interesting is the fact that Requiem’s launch helped push the Resident Evil franchise as a whole past 200 million copies sold. This puts it easily as Capcom’s biggest franchise, with second place going to Monster Hunter at 127 million copies sold.

Speaking of, Monster Hunter Wilds seems to still be struggling in the wake of its explosive launch period, selling just 400k units during the past quarter (the same as MH Rise) for a total of 11.4 million copies sold.

With RE Requiem continuing to push units and rumours claiming that many more Resident Evil games are in the works, it won’t be long before the series reaches the big 250.

While the Pokémon franchise is known best for its abundance of merchandise (making over $100 Billion off retailers alone), the company’s video game efforts have been just as successful financially, with each mainline entry easily selling in excess of 10 million copies almost immediately. It therefore comes at little surprise that over the past 30 years, more than half a Billion copies of “Pokémon-related software” have been sold.

Sharing updated sales data via their ‘Pokémon in Figures’ page, ThePokémonCompany revealed that “total shipments of all Pokémon-related software” has officially exceeded 500 million units – 515 million to be specific.

While impressive in its own right, this figure does not account for the many different free-to-play titles released over the years, with the likes of Pokémon GO alone amassing more than 1 billion downloads and TCG Pocket garnering over 200 million.

The Pokémon series has had its ups and downs over the past three decades. That said, there’s no denying that the franchise has a fervent fanbase who look forward to each new release – for better and for worse.

Marking the first entry in the series to be developed exclusively for current-gen systems, Playground Games’ Forza Horizon 6 has been one of Microsoft’s most anticipated releases for 2026. Amassing over 1 million players during its advanced access period, the latest entry in the beloved racing series officially arrived for the masses less than a week ago – already surpassing 6 million total players.

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, the team at Playground Games shared early performance stats for Forza Horizon 6, confirming that the title exceeded 6 million players just days following its full release.

As mentioned, Forza Horizon 6 – as with most first-party Xbox titles – was made available a few days early for all those who coughed up for the premium edition, giving players 4 days of advanced access. During this period, Horizon 6 saw over 1.4 million players; notable given that all 1+ million would have had to pay for the privilege.

In contrast, this recent 6 million number includes all those who have checked the game out using Xbox Game Pass – meaning 6 million players does not equate to 6 million copies sold.

Unfortunately, Microsoft does not share actual sales data anymore, instead opting only to release player numbers, and so we will likely never learn exactly how many copies are being sold. Regardless, 6 million players in just a couple days is a major achievement.

It will be interesting to learn how many players Forza Horizon 6 will have amassed by the time the title lands on PlayStation.

Following a lengthy development cycle filled with delays, lawsuits and publisher disagreements, Unknown Worlds’ highly-anticipated Subnautica 2 finally launched in Early Access late last week – selling over 1 million copies within hours. Since then, the indie title has only continued to grow, having now surpassed 4 million copies sold in under a week.

As reported by the publication Gematsu, Unknown Worlds have announced that their recently-released Subnautica 2 has officially sold over 4 million copies since its Early Access launch on the 14th of May.

Commenting on this success, the game’s executive producer Fernando Melo wrote: “Seeing millions of players dive into this new world during Early Access has been an incredible moment for the team. Community feedback continues to help shape the future of Subnautica 2, and we’re excited to keep building the experience together with our player.”

As mentioned, Subnautica 2 saw immediate success upon its launch, selling over 1 million copies in a single hour – pushing this to 2 million by its 12th hour of release.

Considering that the game has been out for less than a week and is already topping 4 million players (not accounting for those on Game Pass), it will be interesting to see how many units it will have surpassed by the time Subnautica 2 leaves Early Access in roughly 2 years’ time.
