It\u2019s kind of hard to see the massive discounts on Ubisoft games on Steam this week and not think: fire sale! The company\u2019s stock price took a head-first dive<\/a> in January after its latest botched attempt at \u201crestructuring,\u201d<\/a> and incredibly it\u2019s yet to show any signs of recovery. Share prices today are the same as they were on the day of that January 22 crash, leaving the company worth less than a twentieth of its value in 2018. Things are bad. So presumably there\u2019s hope that knocking half the price off of last year\u2019s\u00a0Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows might at least keep the lights on.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s actually a fantastic sale for us. Games less than two years old are up to 90 percent off, and top-notch classics have similar discounts off their already far lower prices. Because for as badly run as Ubisoft appears to have been for many years<\/a>, the publisher puts out some genuinely excellent games. And a game as interesting as the \u201ccrappy masterpiece<\/a>\u201d Star Wars Outlaws (in its much-improved updated version) being just $21 is something to take advantage of. Here are a few suggestions of games to grab while they\u2019re cheap:<\/p>\n

Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows \u2013 $35 <\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s entry into the long-running\u00a0Assassin\u2019s Creed series was good at launch<\/a>, has been updated since release, and reached fine fettle by September 2025<\/a>. You play as both a stealthy shinobi assassin and a formidable samurai, fusing parkour goodness, stealthy fighting, and more overt action in one of the most spectacularly pretty games ever made. If your machine can cope. It had another raft of improvements last fall, and right now is 50 percent off<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Far Cry Primal \u2013 $3 <\/p>\n

I love\u00a0Far Cry Primal. The\u00a0Far Cry series has been hit-or-miss, the latter mostly due to reheated ideas. But Primal took the format somewhere new\u2026well, old, with the action set 10,000 years in the past and the guns replaced with pointy sticks but keeping all the same base-raiding, animal-hunting, skin-peeling antics that makes the series fun. It came out in 2016 and still looks extremely pretty, and at 90 percent off<\/a> is available for the comically low price of three bucks.<\/p>\n

Tom Clancy\u2019s The Division 2 \u2013 $3 <\/p>\n

Jokes about Tom Clancy still making games 13 years after his death are now so old as to have died themselves, but still, the poor man\u2019s name is attached to so many Ubisoft games. \u201cGrandaddy, what is a Tom Clancy?\u201d ask today\u2019s young players, and are told to hush because I\u2019m trying to snipe the bad man\u2019s head off. The Division 2 has had a bit of a tumultuous<\/a> ride for those playing<\/a> it as a live-service game<\/a>, losing a lot of fans over the years since its original 2019 release, but if you started playing today for just $3<\/a> you\u2019re in for a really decent core game.<\/p>\n

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora \u2013 $30 <\/p>\n

I would never have thought to play the movie tie-in game of the\u00a0Avatar movie franchise, if it weren\u2019t for Zack\u2019s passionate campaigning<\/a> for the game to get the attention he says it deserves. It\u2019s 35 percent off<\/a> during this sale, making it a much more reasonable $30 if you\u2019re willing to trust the man. Although it\u2019s also just been added to Game Pass, if you\u2019re looking to pay even less.<\/p>\n

Star Wars Outlaws \u2013 $21 <\/p>\n

Outlaws had a rough ride on release. That was partly because it launched with far too many bugs, broken stealth, and enemy AI that really leaned hard on the \u201cA\u201d, but also partly because of the worst people on the internet putting Musk-endorsed effort into destroying it because the game had the temerity to feature a woman as its main character. But ignore those knuckle-dragging knob-heads, because it remains a fantastic experience, especially now that so many of the bugs have been ironed out, and the stealth much improved. It\u2019s 70 percent off<\/a>, which is a significant chunk for a game only 16 months old.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s kind of hard to see the massive discounts on Ubisoft games on Steam this week and not…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":500274,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[7240,74,15751],"class_list":{"0":"post-500273","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-sale","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-ubisoft"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500273"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500273\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/500274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=500273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=500273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
