Ubisoft has officially confirmed the release date and time for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced throughout the world, alongside its detailed preload schedule.
The pirate-themed remake, which reimagines Edward Kenway’s journey through the Caribbean, is set to launch globally next week. With the devs finally dropping the final release and preload times, fans across all major platforms can now have a clearer picture of when exactly they can start playing, as well as when to begin downloading ahead of launch.
If you’re here to know more about the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced release date, times, and preload start time, we’ve got you covered.
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Release Date and Time
Through an official blog post earlier today, Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced will see its global release on July 9, 2026.
If you’re on PC, the game will unlock at 5 PM UTC, and you’ll be able to grab it through Steam, Ubisoft Store, or Epic Games Store.
That same window also applies to those streaming the title through Nvidia’s GeForce Now service, meaning cloud players won’t be left behind on day one.
The Console release of Black Flag Resynced will follow a slightly different pattern. Both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions will unlock at midnight local time in each respective region, rather than a single synchronized global moment.
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Preload Times
Preloads for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced are already live for one platform: Xbox Series X|S owners have had access to preload files since June 22, 2026.
PlayStation and PC users have had to wait a little longer to start preloading the game, though. PS5 and PC players won’t be able to begin preloading until July 7, just two days shy of launch.
The exact preload start time on PC has also been confirmed by the devs. Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced preloads are scheduled to open on PC at 2 PM UTC on July 7, while PS5 preloads will go live at midnight local time on the same day.
Be sure to download the game ahead of its official launch to be able to dive into the action as soon as the servers go live.
