Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Release Times Revealed

Ubisoft has confirmed the official global release and preload timings for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, the full remake of the beloved 2013 pirate adventure.

Players on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S can preload the game ahead of launch, while PC users on Steam, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect, and cloud platforms will receive their preload closer to release.

The game officially launches on July 9, 2026:

PS5 & Xbox Series X|S: Available at 12:00 AM local time.

PC (Steam, Epic, Ubisoft Connect, GeForce NOW): Unlocks at 2:00 PM UTC (7:30 PM IST).

New Zealand Early Access Trick

Players on Xbox can access the game earlier by switching their console region to New Zealand, allowing them to play several hours before their local launch. On PS5, this requires purchasing the game through a New Zealand PlayStation account, while the method is generally not practical for PC players.
