This week's big reveal of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced seems to have gone down exceptionally well with PS5 owners, as the most expensive version of the remake is already topping the pre-order charts.
In both the UK and the USA, the pricer Deluxe Edition is currently the "best-selling" pre-order on the PS Store. As the pre-order listings only went live two days ago, it's impressive to see the remake charting so highly in such a quick fashion.
It is currently being pre-ordered more than 007 First Light, Saros, and LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. Games that are just a handful of weeks from launch usually command the top spots on the pre-order charts, so to see the Black Flag remake outselling these titles when it's still not due out until July is impressive.

In the UK, the Deluxe Edition is the PS Store's best-selling pre-order, while the base version is third:

In the USA, the Deluxe Edition is in the same top spot, but Saros is doing better in the region so the base version is down in fourth:

It's clear the PS5 community is willing to put its money where its mouth is when Ubisoft decides to bring back one of the Assassin's Creed series' best entries, with a release date set for 9th July 2026. You can read about the upgrades, changes, and updates in our deep dive article from the reveal.
If that Deluxe Edition takes your fancy, it bundles the base game with a Master Assassin Character Pack and a Master Assassin Naval Pack. The former contains an "Edward costume, sword, pistol, and trinket with unique perks" while the latter gives you a "sail set, ship's pet, crew attire, wheel, figurehead, and hull trim".

I've pre ordered the physical version. Can't wait, looks like they've done a really good job with it thankfully.
Can’t wait for this one, need a new open ended adventure.
Had the great but tight level RE9 and Pragmata design, so now time for something open world.
Also sounds like it should look great on the Pro.
Preordered from amazon. They are doing a launch edition, comes with a 34 page art book and a world map poster. Can't wait to jump back into the pirate world.
Why do people pre-order and pay so far in advance for digital copies?
They're not going to sell out...
Doesn’t surprise me with how bad AC Shadows was and preformed that we’ve been thirsty for a real AC game to play for a long time now.
Have no real desire to play this game again personally....I always thought it was just a standard assassin creed game....didn't think it was any better or worse than any other of the games
@StitchJones so many new gamers keep coming into the fray that the only people who really complain are old heads with nothing better to do. A lot of gamers just see an old game they never played coming back with updated graphics and performance and go sweet now I get to experience it too. No one who already played any remake/remaster has to buy and play the new version. Just go sit in the corner and wait for your medicine, grandpa.
I had my doubts but the overview trailer has me feeling optimistic that somewhere deep inside Ubisoft's rotting heart... they've still got a little spark.
Tempted to get Saros, black flag and 007 physical
Preordered the collector’s edition. Am I crazy? Maybe, but don’t care.
People's relationship with AC/Ubisoft is just weird. They go on and bash them all day long but are still eager to highly anticipate anything AC. Are they just in a hurry to buy it and smash it apart like those silly videos from back in the days - "smashing my new iphone/console/TV."
@Jackthelad93 That's when money is allocated, they want to make sure they get preorder bonuses, they feel like it, etc.
I don't trust that Ubisoft can just have a pure, unsullied W. They'll pull some BS shenanigans to screw fans over.
@Jackthelad93 pre order bonus plus I like to see a game that I pre order on my library
I already made my pre order yesterday I can't wait 😁
@For-Kier shadows for me was the best AC since syndicate
I didn't like origins and odyssey
I played Valhalla for some hrs but it was so f... boring I like the combat but man the game was to big
@StitchJones someone has a sarcasm deficiency 😁 American by any chance? 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️ (love you USA😁👊) 🏴
Got my copy pre-ordered off Amazon. Really excited for it! The showcase went down very well I'd say.
@Jackthelad93 I should imagine for some its just excitement, others like to show their support. I'm guessing some also just like to order straight away whilst they have the money.
I’m one of the deluxe edition preorders and I can’t wait I’m so unbelievably hyped for it
@Frmknst only thing funnier is this ridiculous comment

@Jackthelad93 buy em when ya got the coin? So ya got coin for later on something else..simple
@StitchJones I wasn’t talking about you 🫣
@For-Kier This makes little sense, surely the majority of those interested in the remake would be die-hard older gamers as AC is a franchise dating back to the ark. I seriously doubt anyone under 25 is going to be that drawn to any current Ubisoft title let's be honest.
@TheArt It's Stockholm Syndrome of a sort. Worse based on a trailer they seem to think this is the second coming. All it's going to be is another jazzed up version of an old game, nothing more, nothing less. It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't so many decent new and original IPs out there but nostalgia sells.
@For-Kier The og Black Flag, which still looks and plays amazing despite its age, is arguably Ubisoft's finest moment but I am actually apprehensive about this 'resync' - at this stage I simply don't trust them not to to ruin it with 'resynced' visuals and new game mechanics that nobody asked for.
@THEBrew My suspicion is that it'll actually in some ways be worse than the original! The trailer doesn't look that promising and the changes introduced are ones nobody asked for. The og Black Flag looks and runs amazingly well despite its age and costs next to nothing.
@StitchJones I thought there was a tinge of sarcasm to your comment to the other person so I was saying looks like they don’t understand sarcasm. Which is a well known American trait 😂
I've compared the different versions up for pre-order and I've decided to go for the one which will be available 6 months after release for half the price and with most of the bugs fixed.
Of course, that depends on whether or not Ubisoft can restrain themselves from ruining it with microtransactions.
Outselling Saros on launch week, AC is still big business
It occurred to me a side by side vid this is effectively Black Flag Reskinned and the Deja u would be too much for me. Everybody knows I don’t replay games I move on to pastures new
@Jackthelad93 I think of it like a bill that needs to be paid. Sure, the bill says I have 30 days to pay and I could wait until the last moment. Or I could just rip off the band aid now and not have to worry about it later.
@TheArt Personally I have hated Assassin's Creed the ever since they went down the RPG route. So to see it go back to an action game with a focus on parkour is all I need to know to hit buy.
@Jackthelad93 bank balance management.
Folks will complain about gaming becoming too expensive yet are happy to part with 10 extra £/€/$ for digital cosmetics.
And it's the case for three out of four games in these screens. (that's probably only because 007 does not offer a premium edition at the moment).
Then again, I can understand why this is the case and people are free to do with their hard earned cash as they please. I just found it a tad ironic.
I've pre ordered mine I've just gone 4 the stranded im not being funny but £10 extra 4 a ships cat is a joke when u will b able 2 get 1 in the game anyway
I was a huge Playstation fan since the PS1. Bought multiple consoles throughout every generation. But then their customer support treated me like trash. So I vowed not to spend another cent on Playstation. Its actually kinda sad to be treated like that after 30 years of exclusively gaming with Playstation. Almost like losing a lifelong friend because they stopped caring about you. I might even come back if they actually apologized. But I don't see that happening. I was upset enough that I switched to pc gaming and got a 5090. All that $ could have been Playstation's if their support acted like professionals. I actually still want to like Playstation so I hope they realize their outsourced CS is driving away customers. I bought between 100 and 200 games for ps4. I only got 1 for PS5 before they ran me away. I hope you guys have better luck with Playstation. But i also hope you will walk away if they do you dirty. We deserve better. Maybe i can check out Black Flag on my 5090, if they release it on pc
@Bieeelak if the $10 dlc for games like this is just cosmetics I wait for the dlc to be on sale
@SirCecilNiplewhip
Same I’ve preordered the launch edition
Doesn't matter how much you polish a turd you'll always get ***** on your hands
