2026-07-02 05:43:44 | Written by Alfred

Thinking about Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced on Xbox Series X|S and not sure which edition to pick or whether it's worth a preorder? This short guide breaks down what the remaster adds on Xbox, the difference between Standard and Deluxe, and where it lands vs the €59.99 Microsoft Store RRP. When you're ready to compare every live price, head to our Black Flag Resynced Xbox price page.


What Resynced adds on Xbox

Black Flag Resynced is a full remaster of the 2013 original — the highest-rated Assassin's Creed ever (around 88-90 on Metacritic, 16M+ copies sold) — developed by Ubisoft Singapore and out July 9, 2026.

  • Rebuilt visuals on the modern Anvil engine: new lighting, higher-res textures, reworked models.
  • Xbox Series X|S performance: 4K output on Series X with a 60 fps Performance mode and a higher-fidelity mode, plus fast SSD loads.
  • Xbox features: Smart Delivery (best version for your console automatically), Quick Resume, Dolby Vision/Atmos support and spatial audio for naval battles.
  • Updated combat and parkour, plus all original DLC including the Freedom Cry standalone campaign.


Standard vs Deluxe on Xbox: which to pick?

  • Standard (€59.99 RRP) — base game, full campaign, all original DLC, plus the pre-order Blackbeard's Crimson Pack (costume, sword, pistol). Live: €43.64 at Eneba.
  • Deluxe (€69.99 RRP) — everything above plus the Master Assassin Character Pack and Naval Pack (Edward outfit + weapons, ship sails, pet, crew attire, wheel, figurehead, hull trim). Live: €51.11 at Kinguin.

For most players the Standard Edition is the smart buy — the Deluxe extras are purely cosmetic. Go Deluxe only if the price gap is small and you want the Master Assassin packs from day one.

Tip: An Xbox digital code is tied to the store region it was bought for — a EU code redeems on a European Microsoft account, and the same applies to US/UK. Match the offer's region to your account; every offer on our price page shows its region.

FAQ

Is Black Flag Resynced worth preordering on Xbox?

If you missed the 2013 original or want to replay the best AC on modern hardware, yes — the base game is a classic and the Series X|S version adds real visual and performance upgrades with Smart Delivery and Quick Resume. If you finished it recently or you're wary of Ubisoft remasters, wait for launch reviews.

Xbox key vs shared Account?

An Xbox (Series) key redeems on your own account — yours forever, like a Microsoft Store purchase. A shared Account offer is cheaper but riskier for a brand-new AAA and can be reclaimed. For a launch title, buy the key.

When does it release and will it be on Game Pass?

July 9, 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and PC. It arrives on Ubisoft+ Premium day one; Xbox Game Pass inclusion isn't confirmed and is unlikely at launch.
