Stop Buying Assassin’s Creed: The PS Plus Goldmine You Missed
PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers are sitting on a massive library of stealth and history. From the Caribbean seas to the sands of Ancient Egypt, nearly half the Assassin’s Creed franchise is currently available to download at no extra cost.
If you have been looking to catch up on the brotherhood’s timeline, your subscription just paid for itself. Here is the full breakdown of the historical playgrounds you can access right now.
Assassin’s Creed Classics: Pirates and Revolutions
It starts with the golden age of piracy. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (2013) is still widely considered one of the best in the series. You play as Edward Kenway, balancing life as a pirate and an Assassin. The mix of naval exploration and ground combat holds up perfectly.
Moving forward in history, Assassin’s Creed Unity (2014) drops you into the chaos of the French Revolution. While its launch was rocky, patches have fixed the major issues. Paris is visually stunning, and Arno Dorian’s story deserves a second look.
Then there is Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (2015). This entry captures the grit of Industrial London. You switch between twins Jacob and Evie Frye, utilizing two distinct playstyles—brute force brawling and calculated stealth—to take back the city.
AC Spinoffs: Freedom Cry and Chronicles
Assassin’s Creed Freedom Cry is a standout experience. Originally a DLC for Black Flag, it stands on its own as a powerful narrative. You step into the shoes of Adéwalé, a former slave turned Assassin, fighting for liberation.
For a complete change of pace, the Assassin’s Creed Chronicles trilogy offers 2.5D side-scrolling action. These titles trade open worlds for stylized, linear stealth.
The trilogy covers three distinct settings: 16th-century China, the Sikh Empire in India, and post-revolution Russia. They are perfect for shorter gaming sessions when you need a break from massive maps.
The Ezio Collection and The RPG Shift
Nostalgia runs high with The Ezio Collection. This bundle remasters Assassin’s Creed II, Brotherhood, and Revelations. Exploring the Italian Renaissance with Ezio Auditore defines the classic era of the franchise.
On the flip side, Ubisoft reinvented the mechanics with Assassin’s Creed Origins. Set in Ancient Egypt, this game introduced the RPG systems the series uses today. Bayek’s story explains the birth of the Brotherhood, backed by a combat system that requires actual skill rather than just countering.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey: The Greek Epic
If you want scale, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is the answer. Set in the 5th century BC, the map is absolutely massive.
You choose to play as Alexios or Kassandra, mercenaries caught in the war between Sparta and Athens. This entry leans fully into the RPG genre, offering dialogue choices, romance options, and battles against mythological beasts. It is a time sink in the best possible way.
Verdict: Is the AC Collection Worth the Install?
If you are subscribed to PS Plus Extra or Premium, this is an incredible value proposition. You get access to hundreds of hours of gameplay ranging from classic stealth to modern open-world RPGs without spending a dime on individual titles.
