==Gameplay==
Significant enhancements are evident in the graphics and level of detail across the games. While the framerate remains consistent, smoother gameplay is achieved thanks to improved hardware capabilities. Additionally, saturation levels have been notably increased, enhancing the visual experience. Players can now unlock tie-in game rewards from Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, such as Bloodlines weapons and Medici and Venice capes, through the Ubisoft Club.
Each game within the collection includes all downloadable content, although certain content remains accessible only via the Ubisoft Club. Notable control adjustments have been made on the PS4 version to align with other titles in the Assassin's Creed series on the system, such as changing the run command from R1 to R2. Moreover, multiplayer modes have been removed from both Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed: Revelations. For players on the Nintendo Switch platform, all games feature Handheld mode, HD rumble, a touch screen interface, and an optimized HUD, enhancing the overall gaming experience. On Switch also, the "Ubisoft presents" text is replaced by "A Ubisoft Original".
