Ubisoft is launching a limited-time promotion that will allow PC and Xbox players to experience Assassin’s Creed Shadows and its expansion, Claws of Awaji, entirely free of charge. Starting June 18 at 6:00 AM PDT, players can access the game by signing up for a six-day free trial of the Ubisoft+ Premium subscription service. The promotion is scheduled to run until June 23 at 6:00 AM PDT, offering a short window for fans to test the latest entry in the long-running franchise.
Because the Ubisoft+ Premium tier is only supported on PC and Xbox platforms, PlayStation 5 owners will unfortunately be excluded from this specific offer. The subscription normally carries a recurring fee of $17.99 per month, giving members day-one access to the publisher’s newest releases alongside a catalog of over 145 titles. During the promotional period, those who sign up through the Ubisoft Store, Ubisoft Connect, or Blacknut will gain unrestricted access to the premium library without an upfront payment.
Alongside the latest historical stealth-action title, the trial period unlocks several other major Ubisoft properties. Subscribers will be able to download and play high-profile releases such as Star Wars Outlaws, Anno 117: Pax Romana, Far Cry 6, and Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. According to historical completion data from How Long to Beat, the main story of the new Assassin’s Creed installment takes roughly 35 hours to complete, meaning dedicated players could potentially make significant progress through the campaign before the trial concludes.
Players looking to take advantage of the offer should be aware of the standard subscription parameters attached to the trial. Ubisoft requires valid payment information during the registration process, and the subscription is configured to automatically roll over into a paid monthly membership once the promotional window closes. To avoid the $17.99 monthly charge, users must manually cancel their subscription through their account settings prior to the deadline on June 23.
