Summary
- Stallion83 earned all achievements in Assassin’s Creed Shadows before its wide release.
- The game features two protagonists for different playstyles.
- There are no difficulty-related achievements, allowing for quicker completion.
Popular Xbox gamer Stallion83 has already earned every achievement in Assassin’s Creed Shadows the day before the game’s wide release. Ubisoft is finally answering many fans’ dreams of a feudal Japan-set Assassin’s Creed game with Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Two protagonists in Naoe and Yasuke will allow players to choose between a stealth-focused approach with the former and a bolder open combat playstyle with the latter.
A well-known and popular figure in the Xbox community, Stallion83 became the first ever Xbox gamer to earn one million Gamerscore in 2014. Since then, a number of other Xbox gamers have surpassed his #1 position, as he currently sits at #81 on TrueAchievements’ worldwide Xbox Gamerscore leaderboard, with well over 3 million Gamerscore. Out of millions of Xbox gamers around the globe, 81st place is still more than admirable, and Stallion will always be the first to ever hit a million.

Japan’s Prime Minister Comments on Assassin’s Creed Shadows Controversy
A controversial Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ gameplay segment has attracted the attention of Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.
Now, Stallion83 can add another impressive first to his list of gaming accolades. The day before Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set to release globally, Stallion83 posted on Twitter celebrating having been the first Xbox gamer to 100% the game. As a prominent figure in the Xbox community and in the industry at large, Stallion83 was likely sent a code for the game early, allowing him ample time to be able to unlock all 54 achievements, netting the full 1,000 Gamerscore, before the game’s full release.
Stallion83 is the First Xbox Gamer to 100% Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Since Assassin’s Creed Shadows‘ achievement list doesn’t have any difficulty-related achievements as many AAA games do, Stallion likely only needed one playthrough of the game to grab all 54 achievements. A handful of them are tied to story progression, but many others require the player to grab collectibles or complete a number of miscellaneous tasks. Responding to somebody under his tweet, Stallion83 mentioned that his Xbox account says he has three days and twelve hours of playtime in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, but the true time it took him to earn the 1,000 Gamerscore was closer to 65 hours. That said, Stallion did mention doing a ton of in-game activities that aren’t tied to achievements in that time, so it may take players even less time to earn the full 100% completion on Xbox.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows has earned positive reviews so far, garnering an 81 on Metacritic for PlayStation 5 and an 85 for Xbox Series X and S. It’ll be interesting to see players’ response to the game when it releases tomorrow, as well as how many players will be able to earn all the game’s achievements within its first few days.
