What is Ubisoft's most successful game?
Ubisoft's most successful franchise is Assassin's Creed, its biggest-selling series by far, with entries from the 2007 original to the recent historical open-world games. If you look at single games, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege stands out for its longevity: it launched in 2015 and has kept a large player base for a decade. Assassin's Creed Valhalla was also described by Ubisoft as one of the franchise's biggest earners.
The contenders
- Assassin's Creed. The flagship series, built on the parkour and acrobatics of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla turned it into a long RPG-style open-world franchise.
- Rainbow Six Siege. A tactical shooter that started slowly but became one of Ubisoft's longest-lived live-service games and an esports title.
- Just Dance. A huge seller over many yearly editions, especially on Nintendo consoles.
- Far Cry. Popular open-world shooters, with Far Cry 5 among the series' best sellers.
- The Division. A shooter-RPG series with a strong online community.
What "most successful" means
Sales, total revenue, player count and influence give different answers. A one-time purchase like a single Assassin's Creed game sells many copies at once, while a live-service game like Siege earns from in-game purchases for years.
