<p>Announced during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, <em>Assassin’s Creed Odyssey</em> will launch on the Switch October 5, granting players two years worth of access for ¥8400 (~$75). Players may also choose to pay a daily rate of ¥730 (~$6.50).</p>
<p>This isn’t the first time a game has been published through cloud streaming, as Capcom brought <em>Resident Evil 7: Biohazard </em>to the Switch <a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/318465/Capcom_bringing_Resident_Evil_7_to_Switch_with_experimental_pricing.php">earlier this year using a similar model</a>.</p>
<p>For <em>Resident Evil</em>, players need to download a 45MB base game application before streaming the rest of the title from the cloud, and it can be assumed that <em>Assassin’s Creed Odyssey</em> will follow suit.</p>
