Free Assassin's Creed Odyssey for Stream Testers

Ubisoft announces that participants in Google's Project Stream Assassin's Creed Odyssey Test will get a free copy of Assassin's Creed Odyssey to keep:
The Project Stream tech test from Google, featuring a fully playable version of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, is offering qualifying participants the opportunity to continue their journey on Uplay PC. All players participating in Project Stream receive, for free, 1,000 Helix credits (a $10 value) to spend as they see fit, and any players that spend a minimum of an hour playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey in Project Stream between now and January 15 will receive a free Uplay PC copy of the game via their linked Uplay account as a special thanks for being a part of the test. Players that already have a copy of Assassin's Creed Odyssey tied to their Uplay account will not be eligible for a free copy of the game.

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.

I was just about to say that I would love to try the new Ass Creed but had noticed that first gen Core processors (my Core i5/750 being one of them) were not supported because the game uses AVX instruction extensions. However, I just looked again and it seems with patch 1.03, they've been fixed, so I might just try it after all.

Doesnt matter if the game requires AVX if youre streaming it from google! Checkmate, atheists!

Not sure Google is interested in your sex life.

If they can sell it, they're interested in it. Meh, Creston's right it's not like they don't know everything already - including my fetish for Tijuana donkey porn.

Google = NSA VPN. They are interested in everything including the smell of yer farts. I'm not in the US but even if I were, I would not accept this "freebie" which is as trojan horse as it gets. I'd rather buy the game than sell my soul to those shitcocks.

I tried this out when it first came online and it was actually fairly decent. Decent quality, latency low enough that I could parry attacks just fine. The problem was it was using quite a bit of bandwidth to deliver the quality and I'm on a monthly cap. It seemed like it was using around 20mbit/sec, though it varied quite a bit due to their compression algorithm.

Ended up switching over to normal Uplay version because I wanted to crank the settings up though.
Do you have a single fact to back that up?

Yeap, the best ass creed game since black flag, imho even surpasses it. Got it in bundle with ssd. World building is another level, very immersive, also Kassandra is well written and looks bad ass swinging two handed war-hammer, well worth the effort to sign up especially when its free. Great game.

As far as I can tell, email address and zip code, which (let's be honest), Google already knows for every single person in the world anyway.

Friends, this game is great. Imagine an open world Spartan game and this is it. I reminded myself during a late cutscene where I stood high on a cliff and some arrogant Spartan commander told me what I should or shouldn't do, yet all I cared about were the dots of light painting the shores of Greek islands.

Amazing game. I enjoyed qlmost every minute of it.
