Got accepted but no chance I can run it on my own internet, I'll have to take my rig up to my sister's and see how I get on there.

Played it for about an hour and a half. Haven't gotten any email about getting a full free copy, but I'll worry about that later.
Going to play it as much as I can until January 15. 😊
I gotta say, I think Google may be on to something. My potato wouldn't be able to play this game normally (or most other recent titles for that matter), but this runs perfectly through Chrome.

It worked for me

By the way the more people from outside the US manage to weasel their way into this promotion the more likely it is Ubisoft will take action.
Just saying since you're all sharing your little tricks so generously :D

I played for about 2 hours today and it works really great. I love that you don't have to download anything and you can just start playing. My PC never got hot and the fans never turned on. I only had a few brief periods where the entire screen got blurred and pixelated for a few seconds, but they really got this streaming service working well, for now at least.I would definitely consider using this Google service if it comes out in addition to Steam

Thanks for mentioning. I was playing around yesterday but was pretty meh on what I could afford. Guess I’ll get an CP boost or outfit pack for the sake of using the credit

Update: I was accepted (looks like it took maybe a week to get accepted?) and so far after playing 30 minutes I impressed how the game runs and looks via stream and so far for the 30 minutes playing had no issues with the game going blurry at all, but I noticed towards the end I did get like a warning about a spotty connection, but even having that error the stream did not change at all.

Thanks for letting everyone know about this! I got accepted & have been playing, pretty impressive not having to download anything & still having it work pretty well. Streaming entire games will probably always be a niche thing, but if the quality standards keep going up then it could be more worth considering for more people. The free game & microtansaction bucks are nice too :^ ).

Note that the game won't be added to your account on the 15th.
"The free PC copy will be granted approximately two weeks following the end of the technical test."

Going by that article: "All game saves and any in-game items earned via gameplay or purchased with the free Helix credits will also transfer over to the free PC copy, but any unspent credits will not transfer. Players that have met the criteria for the free game will receive an email after January 15 with instructions for how to access their free copy in the weeks following the end of the Project Stream test."
So it does sound like to me that we should get something after the test is over with with instructions but it will seem to come the weeks following the end of the test.

I need to spend my helix credits then before it expires.

What did you end up getting. I used it to buy the Nemean Lion pack that included the armored horse. It seems to be a great way of increasing his and his horse's resistance to attack. I think I can wait on the ship packs while I continue accumulating wealth in the early stages of the game.

I got the Spartan pack. Wasn't quite sure how it would work, but it's mine now!

I got the 50% xp boost. I read that most things in the shop can be gotten without helix credits (except for the boosts and a few others).

I got the 10,000 drachmae. I can always buy things at vendors.

I ended up buying gear, I think I bought that Odysseus gear since it gave good bonuses to the archer/hunting skill and lately if I wasn't assassinating people I've been utilizing the bow more often. That gear was I believe legendary so it gave me gear and a good decent bow, I figured I was going to buy gear instead of xp bonus since for me me experience didn't see like that much of an issue and I think in some areas the game levels with you so I think in a way it could be more difficult or longer and you level higher possibly?

Pegasus is the best thing to spend helix credits on if you're not getting the 50% xp boost. Its a horse skin that prevents fall damage and your horse doesn't fall over at all, plus the animation is a bit different even if it can't actually fly. I bought that and one of the spears.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah but I haven't really used my horse that much, so that is why I never bothered with the horse skin.

Couldn't pass the initial speed requirements even with Paperspace, rip

Never received any email by Google. Guess it's too late now

Was enough for me to actually finish the game, so i'm not complaining.
I also just got a survey from Ubisoft about my participation in Project Stream. so maybe that key is coming soon so i can go on to do a little more of the side quests.

Google's Project Stream beta test, first announced in October, allows you to play Assassin's Creed Odyssey by streaming from their servers over the Chrome browser. Originally, the test period was scheduled to end in January and you would lose access to the game and all your progress if you bought the game at a later point. However, Ubisoft has announced today that participants will get a full Uplay copy of the game after the test ends, and will even get to keep their progress. The only requirement to get the full free copy is just to play it on Project Stream for at least 1 hour. Looks like sign ups are still open.
Requirements: Chrome browser, fast Internet connection (recommended 25+ megabits per second), 17 years or older and live in the U.S.
