In the West, users will get it on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One. The cloud version of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is launching the same day as the other versions of the game worldwide, Oct. Assassins Creed® III Remastered Relive the American Revolution or experience it for the first time in Assassins Creed® III Remastered, with enhanced graphics and improved gameplay mechanics. Here’s the announcement made for Japanese viewers, for those interested (or if you speak/understand Japanese). Western audiences may be more inclined to pay fees to stream games if it’s for an all-you-can eat subscription, like PlayStation Now, as opposed to a game-by-game basis. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is being offered as a daily rental (roughly $6.50) and a full version. Resident Evil 7 was offered as a rental, after all, getting half a year for about $20. It’s also possible that the Japanese market or customers’ purchasing priorities make this viable for third party publishers in Japan, where it’s less workable in the West. While Odyssey on the Switch is not coming to the West and there’s no indication this region will see streaming games anytime soon, it at least shows Nintendo’s console has a capability similar to Sony’s PlayStation Now service, which turned 4 in January. Kotaku noted (citing Siliconera) that Phantasy Star Online 2 had been streamed for the Switch in Japan back in April, as well. The announcement was part of Japan’s Nintendo Direct, not the one here in the U.S. Like the Resident Evil release, this will be in Japan only. This was put to the test when Capcom published a streaming version of Resident Evil 7 for the Switch back in May, and now Ubisoft will try the concept with Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. The Nintendo Switch can run games that are technically too powerful for the system.
