    Assassin's Creed The Ezio Collection is not a one game. It's a compilation of three games. So, this weekend's Free Play Days has 6 games to try out wink

    PS. Such a shame that Assassin's Creed The Ezio Collection doesn't have 3 separate achievement lists, like Ubisoft did on PlayStation with trophies. Any compilation of games should have separate achievement lists, like Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, BioShock: The Collection or Grand Theft Auto. Not like Halo: The Master Chief Collection, where's the huge mess for 7000 G.

    Man I really want to get into a good mmo since warframe is being an ass on introducing crossplay. Does ESO have cross progression?I have it since it was free to claim on the Epic Games store but never downloaded it. Would be cool if progress synced

    I wouldn't be surprised if there's some who would try to complete the Assassin's Creed games in a single weekend, that would be pretty demanding and they would be risking their health in doing so considering the length of the games.

    Meanwhile, a remake of Black Flag would be just dandy.

    Valhalla alone is gonna stomp all over anyone brave enough to try. Bloated collectibles, too long of a main quest, and the Mastery Challenges.

    Whoever attempts it, requiescat in pace.

    I just wish the original xbox 360 of assassin's creed 2 was available I have one achievement to get in that game which I started in 2011 and I'm not paying 10 quid just to get to the point of kicking someone whilst using the flying machine

    And i would be tempted to attempt the ezio collection and complete it over the weekend but I know I won't do it

    One of the most ridiculous things that could happen. Next to the remaster of Horizon Zero Dawn for PlayStation 5. Games that don't need any remakes, remasters and other reimaginings.

    No. ESO is not cross-progression. In fact, the entire game has been designed in such a way that cross-progression and cross-play would be impossible to implement in the future. Well, it would be possible. It would just cause a complete collapse of the economy, and console players would struggle to buy anything, or even compete in the guild stores. It is my dream for ESO to be cross-play as I have characters with hundreds of hours played on all platforms, but the reality is that it is never going to happen.

    Only MMOs that are crossplay on Xbox (as far as I know) is Black Desert Online, which is crossplay with PS4/PS5. Phantasy Star Online 2 is crossplay & cross progression. Oh, and Destiny 2. Maybe War Thunder 2, but I've never played that.

    Your best bet is to wait for FF14 in Spring. If you have a PC, get started now. Build up your character, and it will be ready to rock and roll when the Xbox Series S/X version launches. Plus, you'll get instant pop on all the achievements you would have earned during the wait. (assuming it works in the same was as the PS4/PS5 unlocks, which I see no reason why it wouldn't)

    I tried Thursday Morning (10-AUG-2023) and haven't seen this below $25 yet. Is there another announcement somewhere saying this will be free this weekend?

    Not really. Black Flag is 4 years older, was initially developed for the 360, and feels clunky af.

    They're welcome to try if they want to, don't recommend it given how much time is needed for the games but they are welcome to try.

    Should start Saturday. Seems to be a separate promotion from free play days actually, it's not the full game as it'll have some restricted content.

    You're still yanking out 3000G from it, why complain? There's always that one person, I guess... laugh
    Yes, I'm the one they call the Fable guy.
