It’s a little hard to see the massive discounts on Ubisoft games on Steam this week and not think: clearance sale! THE the company’s stock price plunged headfirst in January after his latest failed attempt at “restructuring” and incredibly, it has yet to show any signs of recovery. Stock prices today are the same as they were on the day of the January 22 crash, leaving the company worth less than one-twentieth of its value in 2018. Things are bad. So there is probably hope of halving the price of last year’s. Shadows of Assassin’s Creed could at least keep the lights on.
This is actually a fantastic sale for us. Games less than two years old get up to 90% off, and top-tier classics get similar discounts off their already much lower prices. Because for as poorly managed as Ubisoft seems to be for many yearsthe publisher offers truly excellent games. And a game as interesting as “shitty masterpiece» Star Wars Outlaws (in its much improved updated version) costing only $21 is something to take advantage of. Here are some suggestions for games to grab while they’re cheap:
Shadows of Assassin’s Creed – $35 Last year’s entry into the long race Assassin’s Creed the series was good at launchhas been updated since its release, and reaches full fitness by September 2025. You play as both a stealthy shinobi assassin And a formidable samurai, merging parkour goodness, stealth combat and more open action into one of the most spectacularly pretty games ever made. If your machine can handle it. There was another round of improvements last fall, and Right now it’s 50% off.
Far Cry Primal – $3 I like Far Cry Primal. THE Far from it the series has been hit or miss, the latter mostly due to reheated ideas. But Primitive took the format somewhere new…well, old, with the action taking place 10,000 years in the past and the weapons replaced with pointy sticks, but keeping the same basic raiding, animal hunting, and skin peeling antics that make the series fun. It was released in 2016 and is still extremely pretty, and 90 percent off is available for the comically low price of three dollars.
Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 – $3 The jokes about Tom Clancy still making games 13 years after his death are now so old they’re dead themselves, but the poor man’s name is nonetheless attached to many of Ubisoft’s games. “Grandpa, what’s a Tom Clancy?” » ask today’s young players, and they are told to shut up because I’m trying to cut off the bad guy’s head. Division 2 had a little trouble tumultuous ride for those who play it’s like a live service gamelosing a lot of fans over the years since its original release in 2019, but if you started playing today for only $3 you’re in a really decent base game.
Avatar: Pandora’s Borders – $30 I would never have thought of playing the cinematic linking game of Avatar film franchise, if there were not Zack’s Passionate Campaign so that the game receives the attention it deserves, in his opinion. It is 35 percent off during this sale, making it a much more reasonable $30 if you’re willing to trust the man. Although it was also just added to Game Pass, if you’re looking to pay even less.
Star Wars Outlaw – $21 Outlaw had a rough time when it came out. This was partly because it launched with way too many bugs, broken stealth, and enemy AI that relied really heavily on the “A”, but also partly because of the worst people on the internet who went to Musk-approved efforts to destroy it because the game had the temerity to feature a woman as the main character. But ignore those finger-dragging buttons, because it’s still a fantastic experience, especially now that many of the bugs have been fixed and the stealth has been greatly improved. It is 70 percent offwhich represents a significant portion for a game that is only 16 months old.
