Ubisoft is currently giving away three great games for free, but they're only available for a limited time. Assassin's Creed 2, Rayman Legends, and Child of Light are free to claim on Uplay through May 5.
Ubisoft frequently gives games away on PC, but this is a much more significant drop than anything that has come before. Despite its age, Assassin's Creed 2 is still beloved by many, and Rayman Legends and Child of Light are still relatively recent titles that fared well critically. Tons of people likely own at least one of these three games already, but the opportunity to grab one of these games if it's missing from your collection is enticing.
Even though there is a cutoff date, these games are free to own. As long as players download any of the three prior to May 5, it will be permanently added to their Uplay library. Because this offer is on Uplay, it doesn't extend to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners. PC players are also restricted to Ubisoft's launcher when claiming these games, meaning Steam or the Epic Games Store aren't an option. This offer is only available for the next few days, so act quickly if you want to claim them.
Assassin's Creed 2 is considered by many to be the peak of the franchise. Taking place in Renaissance Italy, the game laid the foundation for most of the series tropes that are commonplace in the Assassin's Creed franchise today. Rayman Legends is the sequel to Rayman Origins. It's a fantastic platformer that's playable cooperatively with four players, but it's also entirely playable solo as well. Lastly, Child of Light is a lighthearted RPG with great music and a unique painterly aesthetic. Each of these games is available to claim until May 5 on PC via Uplay.
Getting any one of these games for free would be a treat, but getting all three of them is a welcome surprise. Assassin's Creed 2 still holds up today, and Ezio remains one of the best protagonists in the entire series. Plus, the Renaissance Italy setting is gorgeous and totally still feels exciting to explore even now. Rayman Legends is criminally underrated and is one of the best platformers released this generation. Child of Light is a heartwarming RPG that doesn't even take too long to get through. It might be a bit disappointing to some that Ubisoft is giving away old games for free, but free games are free games.
