Several weeks after Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced launched on PC and console, Ubisoft has published a set of player statistics for the remake, GameSpot reports. The figures are aggregate play data rather than sales, and they lean toward the esoteric: what players wore, how far they sailed, and how much of their time they spent crouched.
The figures cover four broad areas: what players wear, how far they sail, what they fight with, and the incidental habits the remake keeps count of. The headline numbers Ubisoft published are as follows.
- Most popular outfit: the Privateer, in subdued greys
- Favoured weapon: Le Bourgeys Blades
- Win rate against Legendary-class ships: 47 percent
- Distance sailed in the Jackdaw: more than 40 million kilometres
- Animals petted: 28.29 million, with cats top of the list
- Time spent crouched: more than eight million hours
What players wore, sailed and swung
Ubisoft says the subdued greys of the Privateer outfit are the most popular choice with players so far. Le Bourgeys Blades are the favoured weapon, and players hold a 47 percent win rate against Legendary-class ships.
Edward Kenway’s ship, the Jackdaw, has covered more than 40 million kilometres across the player base, a distance Ubisoft equates to 1,000 trips around the world at full sail.
Eight million hours crouched
The game has logged 28.29 million animals petted, with cats at the top of the list. Players have also spent more than eight million hours crouched, which Ubisoft calculates as roughly 10 percent of the average player’s total playtime.
The stats arrive without any fresh sales figures attached. GameSpot notes Ubisoft has not posted updated sales numbers recently, though the Black Flag remake reached three million units sold in its first week.
On Steam, the game peaked at 99,451 concurrent players on launch day, a record for an Assassin’s Creed title on the platform.
