There's never been a better time to get into Assassin's Creed thanks to these deals.

Jump to:

French publisher Ubisoft is known for creating some of the biggest video game franchises in the world, including Far Cry, Just Dance, Tom Clancy's titles, Rayman, and Watch Dogs, among others. Of all the company's properties, though, none are as unique — or as successful — as Assassin's Creed. First debuting all the way back in 2007, Assassin's Creed quickly grew into a flagship series for the publisher, with fans falling in love with its diverse historical settings and seamless blend of parkour-driven action and stealth within its sprawling open worlds.

So far, there have been 12 main Assassin's Creed installments — a thirteenth, Assassin's Creed Shadows, is coming later in 2024 — and if you're interested in checking them out, I've got good news: every single game in the series is on sale for major discounts right now, even in the aftermath of Amazon Prime Day 2024, and all but one are available for just $12 or less at retailers Green Man Gaming and CDKeys. Most of these deals are for the PC versions of the games, but there are quite a few for the Xbox ones, too. I've listed them all below.

Recent updates

Update, July 18, 2024 — Amazon Prime Day is over, but none of these deals were actually Amazon discounts, and luckily, all of them are still available. The price of the ridiculously good deal on the Xbox version of Assassin's Creed Unity went up by a dollar, but beyond that, they're all exactly the same. Don't miss your chance to take advantage! For some more deals still around post-Prime Day, check the section beneath the game discounts below.

The one that started it all.

Compared to the original release, the Director's Cut includes several additional missions.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey | was $59.99 now $9 at GMG (PC, Ubisoft Connect)

Assassin's Creed Odyssey goes back even further to the Ancient Greek Peloponnesian War in 431 BCE, putting players in the shoes of a Spartan mercenary. In addition to the franchise's usual open world structure, Odyssey was the first game to also include roleplaying options that have a sizable impact on the way the story plays out.

Deals this good on games this big are rare, even around sales events like Prime Day. With that in mind, I'd honestly recommend getting all of the Assassin's Creed games while they're this affordable (Assassin's Creed Unity for under $3 on Xbox? Come on) as it's not likely they'll stay that way for long once the sales frenzy dies down later this week. Of course, I understand that not everyone has the money to do that even after taking discounts into account, and that many prefer to be more selective about the games they purchase.

If I could only recommend buying a few of these games, my picks would be the three games in The Ezio Collection/Ezio Trilogy: Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, and Assassin's Creed Revelations. Like the original Assassin's Creed, they place a strong emphasis on creative free-roam stealth — to me, that's what makes the series truly stand out from other open world games — but feel considerably smoother to play with their improved controls and movement systems. Ezio Auditore da Firenze's complete story is also masterfully written, and as a result, he's gone down in history as one of the greatest characters in gaming. Oh, and nabbing all three games for $11.69 on Xbox or $12.09 on PC is an absolute steal, too.

Newer games in the franchise have expanded its scope with larger, denser play spaces and a wide variety of options in combat, but many of them — especially Odyssey and Valhalla — also sidelined stealth as a consequence, making them feel less distinctive when compared to other open world titles. With that said, they're still gorgeous to look at and very fun to play in their own way, and I do enjoy some of the roleplaying features Ubisoft has experimented with over the years. If you'd prefer a middle ground between the different styles, you'll greatly enjoy Assassin's Creed 3, Unity, and Syndicate, along with last year's Assassin's Creed Mirage.

Does Assassin's Creed play well on Steam Deck and other gaming handhelds?

Yes, Assassin's Creed is very enjoyable on Steam Deck and other gaming handhelds such as the ASUS ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go (don't miss the best Prime Day deals on gaming handhelds). The older games run especially well since their requirements are low; just be aware that on Steam Deck, you'll need to add the Ubisoft Connect client as a non-Steam program.

What is Amazon Prime Day?

First held almost 10 years ago in 2015, Amazon Prime Day is an annual sales event for the global retailer during which a huge number of its items go on sale for massive discounts. Note that to take advantage of these, you'll need to be an Amazon Prime member. In recent years, other storefronts have begun to mark down their own stock in an effort to undercut and compete with Amazon, including game retailers like Green Man Gaming and CDKeys.

Is Green Man Gaming legit?

Yes, Green Man Gaming is a legitimate retailer that sells legally obtained game codes. Though most of the codes it has on offer are for Valve's PC gaming platform Steam, it also sells codes for clients like Ubisoft Connect and even Microsoft's Xbox consoles.

Is CDKeys legit?

Yes, CDKeys is 100% legit as well, and also happens to be one of the best places on the web to find discounted game keys. Like Green Man Gaming, it primarily sells Steam codes, but also offers Ubisoft Connect and Xbox ones too. For more information, make sure to read through our CDKeys FAQ.
