Assassin's Creed fans can slash almost 50% off the franchise's newest release by combining deals this week. The remastered version of the hit 2013 instalment has finally landed with the launch of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced.
To mark its release on Thursday (July 9), GAME has cut the PS5 edition from £49.99 to £44.99, but savvy shoppers can reduce the cost even further if they sign up for a free TopCashback account. New members will receive a £15 welcome bonus when spending £15 or more, plus an exclusive 10% cashback on Black Flag Resynced when ordered at GAME by 11.59pm on Sunday (July 12).
Taking advantage of this offer, the PS5 version can effectively be brought down to £31.23 after cashback. As this also covers £4.99 standard delivery, the game itself works out at £26.24, representing a saving of £23.75 or roughly 48% off the original price.
How to Get the Deal
The TopCashback offer is exclusively available to new members, while existing members will pay £46.23 after cashback, including delivery. The new members' deal undercuts retailers such as Amazon and Argos, both of which charge £44.99 for the standard edition.
To secure the discounted price, shoppers need to follow these steps:
- Sign up to TopCashback here.
- Search for GAME and click ‘Get Cashback Now’.
- Shop and checkout as usual.
- Cashback will track and appear in the TopCashback account within seven working days of purchase.
- The cashback will become payable and available to withdraw and spend after GAME has paid TopCashback the commission for the purchase.
