Assassin's Creed Shadows stands out as the franchise's most compelling release in recent memory, and it's currently available on Amazon for just $49.99 on PS5 and Xbox.
This marks the game's first major price reduction since its launch earlier this year, thanks to Amazon's early Prime Day promotions.
Dropping from $70, this $20 discount represents a significant saving and a much more attractive entry point for those who were hesitant about Ubisoft's latest open-world RPG.

I'll champion this game without reservation. I've invested countless hours simply relaxing and discovering every corner of its expansive world, and it's genuinely become my go-to comfort experience since I first started playing.
If you're looking for a substantial game with deeply satisfying gameplay mechanics and genuine stealth challenges—particularly with the new Nightmare difficulty settings—Assassin's Creed Shadows truly delivers on all fronts.
While the game has some minor imperfections, none detract from its overall immersive and enjoyable experience. It's a visually stunning, ambitious installment that doesn't compromise to appeal to everyone—a quality I deeply respect.
IGN's Jarrett Green awarded it 8/10 in his review, describing Yasuke and Naoe as "the most compelling assassin partnership we've seen in years"—an assessment I fully endorse. The game's innovative approach to combat, narrative depth, and dynamically changing seasons creates a living world that feels more authentic than most open-world titles achieve.
At $50, this becomes an easy recommendation. Truthfully, I'd advocate for this game even at full price. The current discount simply makes it easier for newcomers to discover what I've known all along: this adventure is absolutely worth your time.
In other Assassin's Creed updates, Ubisoft deployed a significant patch for Shadows on June 25, 2025, which introduced the next story expansion featuring a new ally character for Naoe and Yasuke, voiced by Critical Role's Robbie Daymond.
