This is the good plan for the beginning of April for fans of Assassin’s Creed on Xbox. For a few days, five major episodes of the license can be played for free, without taking out your credit card, on Xbox One et Xbox Series X|S. An ideal opportunity to test the latest parts or catch up on a missed episode.
The offer is linked to Xbox Free Play Days and runs from April 2 to 6, 2026 inclusive. These are complete games, accessible even if you are not subscribed to the Xbox Game Pass. Once the window is closed, the titles will be paid for again, but your saves will remain ready to go if you decide to purchase.
Five free Assassin’s Creed games on Xbox: who can enjoy them until April 6?
The operation concerns all players on Xbox One, Xbox Series X et Xbox Series S. All you need is an internet connection, a Microsoft account and enough disk space, as some episodes easily exceed tens of gigabytes.
To launch one of the games, head to the console’s Microsoft Store. Find the desired title, then validate the install button that appears during Free Play Days, whether it says “Install” or mentions Game Pass. Even without an active subscription, you can download and play freely for the duration of the offer.
Which free Assassin’s Creed episodes should you try first on Xbox?
Five aspects are concerned, with very different profiles. Depending on your free time between April 2 and 6, not all of them are as realistic to complete.
- Assassin’s Creed Mirage : return to a more compact formula, centered on the infiltration into Baghdad. Fairly short main campaign, perfect if you only have a few evenings.
- Assassin’s Creed Unity : Paris in the middle of the French Revolution, ultra-detailed parkour. The episode recently received an update that makes it more enjoyable on Xbox Series X|Sand its duration remains reasonable over four intense days.
- Assassin’s Creed Origins : wide open spaces of ancient Egypt and birth of the Brotherhood. First big action RPG in the series, very time-consuming.
- Assassin’s Creed Odyssey : Ancient Greece, hero choice, massive skill tree. Prepare yourself for a huge open world that’s difficult to explore in a weekend.
- Assassin’s Creed Valhalla : Viking epic with gigantic content. This is the longest episode of the lot, ideal for getting an idea of the gameplay before a possible purchase.
Concretely, Mirage et Unity are the best candidates if you really want to finish a game before the offer ends. Origins, Odyssey et Valhalla lend themselves more to a big overview of their first tens of hours.
Free Assassin’s Creed offer on Xbox: until when and what happens to your progress?
The five games remain playable for free until the evening of April 6, 2026 on the Xbox Store. Starting April 7, they will still be listed in your library, but you will no longer be able to launch them without purchasing them.
Good news, all your local and cloud saves are kept, as are any unlocked achievements. If you take advantage of the Xbox Spring Sale 2026which offers up to 85 percent off on several editions Assassin’s Creedyou will automatically recover your progress as soon as you install the purchased version.
With five free episodes, four days flat and promotions in parallel, it’s undoubtedly the best time to do an Assassin’s Creed marathon on Xbox. It’s up to you if you’re aiming for a short run with Mirage or Unityor a first muscular contact with the RPG trilogy.
