'We haven't necessarily seen that this market has reached the maximum opportunity here,' Tremblay explains. So, why isn't this service tied into Game Pass ( similarly to how EA Play is a part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate?) Ubisoft+ director Philippe Tremblay shed some light on the subject in an interview with VG247 sibling site, GI.biz. It’s worth noting that Ubisoft Plus does offer all DLC for the included games, which Game Pass doesn’t, which means you’re getting the complete editions, but is that enough to hand over the extra cash? Far Cry 6 is one of the higher profile games on the service. Especially when Game Pass is offering up such good value, at the moment.Īdd to this the fact that a bunch of Ubisoft games are currently on standard Xbox Game Pass (Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Origins, Rainbow Six Siege, Far Cry 5, For Honor, and Watch Dogs 2), and the price becomes even more difficult to swallow. Maybe when Assassin's Creed Mirage launches later this year (or perhaps if we ever see what happened to Beyond Good and Evil 2), there might be a more sensible way in to the appeal of Ubisoft Plus – but for now, adding this extra cost on top of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate monthly spend is a bit rich for my blood. There's no big, marquee title that's going to act as a lightning rod and draw people in.

Sure, there are some big modern games on the Ubisoft service like Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 6, The Division 2, Riders Republic, For Honor, Rainbow Six Siege, The Crew 2, Steep, Watch Dogs: Legion, and more – but there's no banner game, at the moment. A Ubisoft Plus Multi Access plan costs £14.99 / $17.99 / €17.99 per month, and offers fewer games than Game Pass Ultimate (£10.99 per month) or even the vanilla Game Pass (£7.99 a month). So, it sort-makes sense that it won't be tied directly into the Microsoft ecosystem: that would freeze out the ability to play elsewhere.īut players are finding the asking price quite hard to swallow. Ubisoft+ Multi Access grants the ability to play across multiple platforms with a single subscription – including PC through Ubisoft Connect, Amazon Luna, and now Xbox. Ubisoft first announced the Xbox version of Ubisoft Plus back in January 2022 and, for a while, many people assumed the service would be available bundled in with an active Xbox Game Pass subscription.

You can see what's on offer with Ubisoft+ here. But its arrival isn't exactly what a lot of people were, misguidedly, expecting. After teasing Ubisoft Plus on Xbox for a while, the French publisher has finally pushed out the service on for Microsoft consoles.
