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.

Just a heads up. Survey was sent to my uplay email, and not my gmail email.

What is your "Uplay email"? I logged into my Uplay account but I can't see any indication that I have a Uplay e-mail address.

The e-mail address used for Uplay. You can check it at https://account.ubisoft.com after logging in.

Give it another week or so. From what I recall, they said instructions would be sent within 2 weeks and the program ended around the 15th.

@UbisoftSupport

We are aware that users have still not received their game for their participation in Project Stream. All I can advise is patience for the time being as these are still being rolled out.

At least they’re being communicative. I wouldn’t have expected it would be that arduous to add the game to any uplay account that played for long enough, but they seem to be working on it. Hopefully soon!

UBI: Good news! we continue to fight toxicity instead of Cheating/Hacking in R6. BTW we are still working on sending free copy of AC:O to Project stream testers. Be patient:)

Still no free game and it looks like that last agent was wrong and at this point not sure if Ubisoft themselves know when it will be released... but I have a funny suspicion that we will probably get it when the lunar sale is done - since they probably wouldn't want to be giving away the game when the game is on sale for half off to try and entice those who cannot wait to pay for it.

I've been keeping an eye on the project stream reddit to see if anything is there and that is what most people are thinking and even some would say they would buy it in a heartbeat if their saves stilled transferred.

I myself can wait since I've got other games to hold me over till then, but I think what will probably end up happening we will forget about this and then one day we will get a surprise email of the free game.

I was thinking the same thing, maybe they're hoping people forgot they're getting it for free or they're hoping some desperate people can't wait so they're holding off.

I can wait, too, since I'm still playing Origins DLC. Just so long as eventually get it, so I didn't let Google have unfettered access to my computer for nothing.

I played for around 2.5 hours but my page says 1 hour 26 minutes. I don't know how they are measuring playtime but it seems to be a little off.

I didn't get far at all. Luckily mine says over 2 hours.
Wonder when we are actually getting the code.

I was lucky enough to launch it for 2 minutes ebcause the project stream only let me pass once before giving me again connection errors. It says 0 minutes on my profile

from ubi Feb 5th "Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us. I apologize that we do not have any more detailed information to give on an exact timeline for the release of that promotional gift from your participation in Project Stream.

We do greatly appreciate your support with that Project Stream Test! I would recommend continuing to keep a close eye on your inbox in these following weeks for more details to come regarding that PC copy of Odyssey. As more details become available we will continue to keep players updated through our official news postings and channels."

I got the following email just now. Delay seems to be related to trying to ensure progression transfers. More updates by Feb 25.

I got the same email a little while ago. I'm looking forward to getting the game when they eventually hand it out. I put in over 75 hours and would like to pick up the expansion packs as I really liked the game.

75 hours during the free period? Impressive!

I'd be okay with just getting the game and starting over -- I did not get very far -- but I do appreciate that the people who put in a ton of time will see their progress carried over. And patience is a small price to pay when it's the only price!

Just went to check, and indeed the game has been added to my account and I am downloading it now. No email or anything either. Just dropped in there silently and without a noise. I'm not complaining, though!

I see it in my Ubisoft Club games website list but not in my UPlay launch client. What is going on?

Update: after rebooting the launch client the games appeared finally. Hooray.

Unfortunately I can't download it this month because I am close to my datacap limit so I will have to wait till March.

Now I just need to upgrade my gpu to be able to do it justice. haha.

Only AC game I am missing is AC Origins.

Thanks Ubisoft and Google.

You arent missing a lot. That wasnt a nice AC game. Odyssey is like Origins V2.
Origins is too repeatable and boring. Hardlly played it for a few hours.

I still want AC Origins(Gold Edition) to complete my collection but only at a substantial discount, so I will just wait. With my backlog I can afford to wait.

What do you mean? Check your uninstalled games list(which is below the installed one) on the Uplay launch client. It should be there. If not quit the client and relaunch.
