Which Ubisoft series has the most games?

Ubisoft is one of the largest game developers and publishers in the world. It's actually somewhat unprecedented how big it is as a single umbrella company. Over 19,000 employees at the time of writing and countless studios worldwide. And like anything that gets too big with bad management, it can very easily implode.

8 most underrated Ubisoft games

It's easy to forget that Ubisoft doesn't just make Assassin's Creed and Far Cry games. Many of their other titles don't get the appreciation they deserve.

With the sheer scale of Ubisoft's operations, it's not surprising that it has both published and developed a frankly outrageous amount of games, more than any company of its size could ever be expected to create. So without further ado, let's delve into how many games Ubisoft has created.

This article focuses squarely on
games developed by Ubisoft
rather than just published by them.


Which console has the most Ubisoft games?

Ubisoft was founded in 1986 of the Guillemot brothers, of whom Yves Guillemot still remains. In the very first year of its founding, Ubisoft (then known as Ubi Soft, with a space to represent “Ubiquitous Software”) developed and published several games, which immediately got the business off the ground.

Over the years, Ubisoft only grew in scale until it became the company it is today. Having existed during almost every console generation since its inceptionUbisoft has released tons of games on every console out there. So which one has the most?

It would be, by a fairly decent margin, Nintendo DS with about 140 games. Xbox 360 pulls in close behind, with about 130. PS3 and PS2 both come in third with around 100 games each, the PS3 edges it out slightly. For PS4 and Xbox One, the number of games released is pretty similar.

Which Ubisoft series has the most games?


While Ubisoft is incredibly prolific when it comes to its game portfoliohas been sharpened in recent years to focus more on pre-established series. Ubisoft has quite a few of them, although it still only focuses on a select few of them, the Assassin's Creed boss among them. But neither is the winner of this competition.

That award goes to Tom Clancy. And while yes, Tom Clancy is more of a header for a larger number of sub-series derived from it, they all still form a single brand of game, based on the works of Tom Clancy. As such, it is a single series for the sake of this argument.

And how many games is that exactly? Well, there are quite a few so some games have been missed though the number is about 80. It includes Ghost Recon, Hawx, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six and others. There are a few games under that heading, but collectively they are the largest set of games Ubisoft has made under a single series.


How many games has Ubisoft made in total?

All this leads us to the most astonishing question, with an equally astonishing answer. How many games have Ubisoft made themselves? With how many they've published, the numbers can get a little murky. When they have multiple studios working on a single game, it complicates the numbers a bit more as well. We can still derive an approximate number.

And the number is 530thereabouts. From 1986 to now, a span of almost 40 years, they have made so many games. It is about 132 games each decadeor 13 matches per year. One game every month from the moment Ubisoft was founded. It really is a lot.
