The new year is here, and if you snagged a PlayStation 5 console or have some fresh gift cards to spend after the holidays, now's the time to get some shopping in. You can get some great deals in, especially if you want to pick up a few video games here and there. Case in point: the PS5 edition of Assassin's Creed Shadows, a 2025 release that you might have been thinking about adding to your backlog.

As of Jan. 2, get Assassin's Creed Shadows (PS5) for $29.99 at Best Buy, down from its usual price of $69.99. That's $50 off and a discount of 57%. It's also the lowest price we've seen.

Set in feudal Japan, this installment of the long-running Assassin's Creed series focuses on the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order, both organizations at odds with fighting for peace through their own very different means. This entry has dual protagonists once more: kunoichi Fujibayashi Naoe, and samurai Yasuke, both with different types of play styles.

This action RPG is a lot like the rest of the games in the Assassin's Creed series, but the first to fully delve into this time period and location, rewarding players with an open world to explore, tons of different non-linear missions to tackle, and the new ability to crawl and go prone as well as "Observe" mode to glean information about potential targets.

If you're ready to tackle a new gaming challenge, don't sleep on this deal and grab it while it's still available at Best Buy.
