Ubisoft announced today that Assassin's Creed Odyssey, the latest entry in the action/adventure franchise, will be free to play on all platforms this weekend (from March 19th to 22nd). Pre-loading is already available today on PC through Epic Games Launcher, UPlay, and PlayStation 4, while PC through Steam and Xbox One won't have pre-loading.
During the Free Weekend players will have access to the full main game content*. Additionally, when playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey during the Free Weekend, all players will unlock the Ezio’s Roman Set through Ubisoft Club.
*Any progression made during the Free Weekend will carry over when the player upgrades to the full game on the same platform. An online connection might be required to start the game as a free player along with a subscription: players will require an Xbox Live Gold subscription on the Xbox One Family of devices to access the free weekend trial.
