Ubisoft has rebranded its subscription service to Ubisoft Plus and introduced a new plan called Ubisoft Plus Premium, offering day one access to new releases and more for $17.99 per month. The company also launched Ubisoft Plus Classics, focusing on back catalog games, available for $7.99 per month. Additionally, Ubisoft is working on adding the Activision Blizzard catalog to its service, following its acquisition of cloud streaming rights last year.
Xbox users can now enjoy a free trial of Ubisoft Plus, which includes over 60 games, including Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 6, and Watch Dogs: Legion. The trial lasts for seven days and includes PC games as well. Users should download the games they want to play ahead of time and cancel the subscription before the trial ends to avoid being charged the full price.
Ubisoft Plus intends to add new releases on the day they launch, including Deluxe, Gold and even Premium Editions of those games in some circumstances. Over 10 games are likely to launch as part of Ubisoft Plus on Xbox, including Assassin's Creed Mirage, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time (Remake). While $17.99 per month may seem expensive, it's worth considering signing up for a month when these games launch if you're interested in trying them out.
