Five Assassin’s Creed Games Land On PlayStation Now Service Tomorrow
The first five games in the Assassin’s Creed series will arrive on Sony’s game streaming service tomorrow. If you happened to miss Altair, Ezio, and Connor Kenway on PlayStation 3, you can play catchup in advance of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s release.
Assassin’s Creed, Assassin’s Creed II, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, and Assassin’s Creed III mark the series introduction to PlayStation Now. This leaves Assassin's Creed Liberation HD, Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, and Assassin’s Creed Rogue as the titles from the series yet to join the party.
Ubisoft has put a substantial portion of its PlayStation 3 library on the service already. Both of the Rainbow Six: Vegas games, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, three Call of Juarez titles, Far Cry 3, and the Prince of Persia trilogy are already available.
If you’re all caught up, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will be along shortly. It’s due out on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on October 23. The PC installment has been pushed until November.

Our Take
Even with over 400 games on the PlayStation Now service, I’m not convinced. With Microsoft introducing broad scale backward compatibility, Sony is at a disadvantage in this area.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
