Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced launches July 9 with PS5 Pro enhancements
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced drops on July 9, 2026, and Ubisoft has now detailed exactly what PS5 and PS5 Pro owners can expect. Built from the ground up on the latest Anvil engine by Ubisoft Singapore and 15 collaborating studios, this is a full remake of the 2013 pirate classic — not a remaster.
The tech
On PS5 Pro, the game runs with PSSR 2 (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), Sony's AI-based upscaler, alongside raytraced global illumination, detailed shadow rendering, and realistic reflections. The baseline performance target is 60 FPS, per the PlayStation Blog (June 29, 2026); higher frame rates are possible depending on mode, though no 100+ FPS figure has been officially guaranteed. Output resolution goes up to 8K on compatible displays.
Standard PS5 owners still get raytraced global illumination, DualSense haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, 3D audio, and near-instant load times via the console's SSD. It's a meaningful visual step up even without the Pro hardware.
What's missing
This is a current-gen exclusive. There is no PS4 or Xbox One version, per the Ubisoft UK/EU Store — so if you're still on last-gen hardware, you're locked out. For players who grew up with Edward Kenway's Caribbean adventures in 2013, that's a real barrier to entry.
The game launches on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam, Ubisoft Store, and Epic Games Store) simultaneously on July 9. Full audio and text localization covers eight languages, including English, French, German, and Spanish.
The price question
Regional pricing hasn't been confirmed ahead of launch. Expect standard industry rates — somewhere in the $59.99–$79.99 range for standard and deluxe editions — but Ubisoft hasn't made anything official yet. If you're considering a pre-order, it's worth waiting for the full pricing breakdown, which is likely to surface around launch day itself.
For a closer look at the game in motion, Ubisoft has released eight minutes of atmospheric gameplay set in Havana that gives a solid sense of how the remake's visuals hold up in practice.
