Ubisoft's 40th Anniversary Sale Slashes PC Catalog by up to 90%

Ubisoft is marking its four decades in the industry by discounting its PC catalog on Ubisoft Connect by up to 90% and giving away a free game, the publisher announced. For a milestone that usually warrants a corporate retrospective video and some self-congratulation, dropping game prices to the cost of a vending machine soda is a highly practical alternative.

The publisher confirmed the sale includes an additional 20% stackable discount using the coupon code "UBI40" at checkout. The promotional pricing drops recent releases and legacy franchises alike, though the newly released remake Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is excluded from the stackable coupon and sits at a more modest 10% discount for $53.99.

For players who prefer their games to cost nothing at all, the 2017 medieval combat brawler For Honor is free on the Ubisoft Store to claim and keep until September 28.

Applying the checkout code drops several recent releases into the impulse-buy territory. Star Wars Outlaws is down to $14.00, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown sits at $7.20, and Far Cry 6 has dropped to $4.80. For the truly budget-conscious, Tom Clancy's The Division 2 has been reduced to $2.40—which, by modern standards, is less a price tag and more a polite suggestion.

The details

• Promo window: Active now, with For Honor free until September 28
• Platform: PC (Ubisoft Connect)
• Stackable code: "UBI40" for an extra 20% off (excludes Black Flag Resynced)
• Key deals: Star Wars Outlaws ($14.00), Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown ($7.20), Far Cry 6 ($4.80), The Division 2 ($2.40)

It is a rare moment where a publisher's major milestone works entirely in the player's financial favor.
