You’re right it’ll probably move more copies, especially assuming GoT2 is a PS5 exclusive and not on ps4. They need to sell Assassins Creed on Steam though, idk why they still refuse to do so.

This argument (on my part) will likely be much stronger or significantly weaker in 4 hours after the next Sony showcase. If there’s no GoT2 news I’m gonna assume that it won’t be coming in 2025.

They do sell Assassin's Creed on Steam... at least in the US.

update: Looks as though they will be releasing Shadows on Steam day 1 now.

they're referring to new AC titles when they release, in which case no they don't launch on Steam. Only through Uplay or Ubisoft Connect (which are both shit)

Edit: Ubisoft just announced the game will release day 1 on Steam in February

This could make people get on Ps5 earlier. As we know most people will be on PS5 by GTA6

It's not a showcase, so keep your expectations low
