After months of waiting, we’ve finally had news that Ubisoft’s subscription service, Ubisoft+, could soon arrive on Xbox consoles.
Currently available on PC, Ubisoft had previously announced Ubisoft+ would arrive on Xbox consoles back in January, alongside news ofRainbow Six Extraction’s launch onXbox Game Pass. Providing over 100 games likeAssassin’s Creed ValhallaandWatch Dogs Legion, this service grants subscribers day one access tp both games and DLC, starting from $14.99 / £12.99 per month.
Now, thanks to a backend datamine of the Xbox Store, we’ve learned it could be launching for Xbox consoles soon. Posted by Twitter userAggiornamenti Lumia(credit toVGC), an Ubisoft+ logo has been spotted within the store, suggesting Ubisoft+’s nearly ready for launch.

Just keep in mind that unlike EA’s own subscription service, EA Play, it won’t be part ofXbox Game PassorXbox Game Pass Ultimate. Launching as a separate service instead, Ubisoft’s exact plans otherwise remain unclear. While PC subscribers can include cloud gaming viaGoogle Stadiafor an extra cost, it’s unknown if Ubisoft will attempt a similar arrangement withXbox Cloud Gaming.
Ubisoft and Microsoft’s partnership remains strong
We’ve seen an increasing partnership betweenMicrosoftand Ubisoft this last year, even with Ubisoft+ Classics also coming toPS Plus. While the French publisher’s clearly focusing on its own subscription service, that hasn’t stoppedXbox Game Pass getting more Ubisoft games,
AcrossXbox One,Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming, this year’s seen big names drop onto Microsoft’s service.Assassin’s Creed Origins, For Honor, andGhost Recon Wildlandshave all appeared across 2022, while Immortals Fenyx Rising joins them on August 30.
Hopefully, it won’t be long before we hear anything official about Ubisoft’s Xbox plans. Alongside an appearance atGamescom 2022this week, Ubisoft previously announced it’ll host anUbisoft Forwardpresentation on September 10. Given the timing of this leak, we’d be very surprised if neither event provide any news.
