A reputable rumor has suggested that the gaming subscription serviceUbisoft+could finally be launching on Xbox very soon.Ubisofthas remained tight-lipped on the subject in the past, but it seems to finally be making its way to Microsoft’s flagship system.Ubisoft+ was first launched in 2019 as Uplay+, and has only grown in popularity ever since.Subscription services like Xbox Game Pass and EA Playare becoming the primary way that many gamers out there choose to experience new games. Unfortunately, in recent years there have been plenty of games that have been released in an unfinished state, leaving gamers and their wallets burnt. The rise in the subscription model has come at the perfect time, as it allows players to test new games without having to spend large amounts of money upfront.RELATED:Ubisoft Connect 2.0 Leaks, Looks Like the Epic Games StoreThe rumor comes from Windows Central’s Jez Corden, who claims the launch of Ubisoft+ on Xbox is “likely imminent.” Corden claims that he is unsure whether Ubisoft+ will arrive as its own service, or whether it will bea part of Xbox Game Pass, so there are still some exact details that are unclear. There is precedent for it, with EA Play being a part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at no extra cost. Corden has proven to be an extremely reliable source in the past, so it’s likely that gamers won’t have too much longer to find out exactly what Ubisoft+ on Xbox will entail.
Rumors about Ubisoft+ coming to Xbox have been circling for a while now, but both companies have remained silent on the issue. A recent rumor suggested thatUbisoft+ will launch on Xbox with 63 games in mid-April, and that timeline would line up almost perfectly with Jez Corden’s tweet. If both are correct, then many of Ubisoft’s biggest titles such asAssassin’s Creed ValhallaandFar Cry 6should be available upon the launch. While some of Ubisoft’s games are already on Xbox Game Pass, this would represent a large expansion of its library available via a subscription fee.
It is believed that when Ubisoft+ launches on Xbox, it will be the full version of the subscription service. PlayStation Plus users currently have access toa service called Ubisoft+ Classics, although this collection of titles is stripped back and restricted to some of the company’s older games. Ubisoft has not announced any plans to make the full version available to PlayStation gamers at some point in the future, but anything could happen in the coming months and years.
