How to Get Assassin’s Creed Odyssey for Free
Video games are a popular holiday gift, and publisher Ubisoft is seriously cheering itself up this winter by giving away one of their best releases of 2018, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, as a free gift to those in the Google Project Stream beta.
In case you haven’t heard yet, Google is getting into the business of both content streaming and video games, offering its upcoming streaming service called Project Stream. Google has said it may expand Project Stream to other forms of media in the future, but it is currently debuting with video games and its first partnership with Ubisoft to bring Assassin’s Creed Odyssey to the platform.
Google claims Project Stream will be able to stream games at up to 1080p and 60fps, regardless of PC hardware specs, directly through the Chrome browser. All graphical rendering is done remotely on super-high performance cloud PCs, so the only requirement on the part of the user is a sufficiently reliable internet connection to maintain low latency and smooth rendering.
Google previously announced that Project Stream beta testers would be able to play Assassin’s Creed Odyssey for free, but there was one catch: the Project Stream version of Odyssey is a limited-feature build of the game that can only be accessed during beta testing. test, which ends on January 15th. Ubisoft is now offering testers a version of Uplay, a complete PC game that you can install and run at any time.
How to qualify for the free Uplay version of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
To be eligible for this transaction, you need to do the following:
- Register to take part in the beta testing of Project Stream and also create an Uplay account (if you do not have an Uplay account, you can register here ). You also need to download the Uplay launcher to install the Uplay version of the game.
- Log into your Uplay account in the Project Stream version of the game.
- You will then need to set aside at least one hour to test the Project Stream beta from today until January 15th. Once you meet the deadline, you will be gifted a copy of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey to your Uplay account.
Aside from beta testing, it’s a minimal effort to get a free copy of a good game. It’s worth noting, however, that while Project Stream will allow you to play the game on any PC with a strong enough internet connection, the Uplay version of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey installs locally on your computer and requires powerful hardware. work with higher quality. One more caveat: not everyone who applies for the Project Stream beta will get into it. Google has said it only accepts a limited number of applicants, and they’ve likely seen a surge in apps since Ubisoft announced the deal.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is by all accounts a very good game. This is the latest entry in a series of open world games tackling Ubisoft’s alternate history set in 431 BC in Ancient Greece, and was met with positive reviews when it was released back in October – the PC version currently has a common an estimate of 84%. on Metacritic . Critics have praised Odyssey for adding deeper role-playing mechanics and for showing one of the largest game worlds the series has ever seen, although some have criticized it for its use of microtransactions and its sometimes overwhelming amount of content. But given that Odyssey can take you dozens of hours, getting it for free is stealing.
