Assassin’s Creed Unity is the next-gen evolution of the blockbuster franchise powered by an all-new game engine.

Assassin’s Creed Unity offers a unique online multiplayer experience so that you can work with three friends to sabotage an execution, protect an emperor or assassinate a Templar agent. In addition, you can enjoy an unprecedented degree of freedom and control over your Assassin with full motion control, a reinvented fighting system and enhanced stealth gameplay.

Here’s how pre-order and pre-download works. When a title becomes available for digital pre-order in the Xbox Store, select “Pre-purchase” to buy and download the game. You will be charged the full amount upon transaction and may use any supported payment method, including an existing Microsoft account balance or credit card. The game will download, along with any updates issued before the release date, so the game is up-to-date and ready to play. Then, when the game is officially released to the Xbox Store, timed with local launch availability, simply go to the game in My Games & Apps, go to your pre-pinned tile, or say “Xbox, go to Assassin’s Creed Unity” to start playing. Titles will be available after midnight local time on the release date in your corresponding country, though some countries with multiple time zones will align to one release time.

Similar to other digital downloads, you will need a consistent Internet connection to download a pre-ordered game and your Xbox One will need to be turned on or in connected standby (Instant On) mode. Of course, you can check the download progress at any time in your download queue, My Games & Apps, or on the game details page. And if you have multiple games loading simultaneously, you can prioritize titles, pause, and resume downloads in your queue.
