Assassin's Creed Shadows Drops to $49.99

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the most thrilling the franchise has been in years, and it's now on sale for just $49.99 at Amazon for PS5 and Xbox.

This marks the game's first major price cut since its launch earlier this year, thanks to Amazon's early Prime Day promotions.

Reduced from $70, this $20 discount represents significant savings, making the acclaimed open-world RPG a much more attractive option for anyone who previously hesitated.

The Limited Edition (Amazon Exclusive) also includes the "Sekiryu Character Pack". Originally $69.99, now 29% off at just $49.99 on Amazon.

I'll champion this game to the very end. I've spent countless hours simply relaxing and exploring its vast open world, and it has genuinely become my comfort game.

If you're looking for a deep experience with a compelling gameplay loop and genuine stealth challenges, especially with the new Nightmare difficulty, Assassin’s Creed Shadows absolutely hits the mark.

While there are still some minor rough spots, they don't detract from the overall immersive and thoroughly enjoyable experience. It's a beautiful, ambitious entry that doesn't aim to please everyone—and that's precisely why I respect it more.

IGN’s Jarrett Green rated it 8/10, praising Yasuke and Naoe as “the strongest Assassin duo in years,” and he's absolutely right. The game's approach to combat, storytelling, and dynamic seasonal shifts makes its world feel more alive than most open-world titles achieve.

At $50, it's an easy recommendation. Frankly, I'd still defend this game even at full price. The current discount just makes it simpler for more players to discover what I already believe: this is a game well worth your time.

In other Assassin's Creed news, Ubisoft released a major update for Assassin's Creed Shadows on June 25, 2025, which included the next story pack featuring a new Ally character for Naoe and Yasuke, portrayed by Critical Role’s Robbie Daymond.
