Nice, but I mostly just wanna see how hard I'm getting fucked by it as a PC first gamer.
EA Play was a service that I was fine with rolling over monthly, year to year (at least until it got absorbed into Game Pass Ultimate)
With a significantly higher price, and offerings that I am less consistently interested in, not sure if Ubisoft+ will be something I am subscribed to continually. But I may dive into it from time to time. Have been meaning to check out Watch Dogs Legion, some of the older Splinter Cell titles, and Rayman Legends

Square is keen to keep putting everything on PC, even if the ports aren't great. Timed exclusives.
If I had to guess, the premium version (which is all there is now) will be it's own standalone thing and then around when E3 comes around (and announced at E3) we'll get an announcement of a lesser tier of Ubisoft+ which has games that are more than one year old and that lesser tier will be added to Game Pass Ultimate on console and PC.
Still though, pretty great that it's coming to Xbox in the future, always seemed like a kind of obvious thing to do for them rather than keep the service Stadia and PC exclusive. Though it also does make the fact that most of Ubisoft's games from the original Xbox didn't make the cut for the last BC batch pretty baffling to me. Then again that's mostly because I'm bitter that several great Rainbow Six games have been left in the past but eh

I don't see this ever being added to game pass for free. They would most likely make it an add on with a higher cost. I can't imagine them giving out assassins creeds for free
Interesting. Ubi games go on sale super quick and with big discounts. So if this is ÂŁ10 per month - and I can't see it being cheaper than that - then, even as a huge AC, Far Cry and (to a slightly lesser extent) Watch Dogs fan, I probably wouldn't get value from this.
Yeah I can't see MS paying Ubi what it would take to get AC and Far Cry day one on Game Pass. Those are huge moneymakers for Ubi.
Eh Ubisoft in my mind is willing to be anywhere their games get the most money to be. Early adopters of both Stadia and Luna. Beyond a couple game pass games and marketing for Valhalla I don't see how they are cozying up to Xbox, more likely going to where they are getting the best deal at the moment.
Same with Square they obviously make more money starting with timed exclusive on Playstation, then go to Epic who will give them money for an exclusivity window then eventually Steam for that large user base and get a GamePass deal from Xbox.
Probably, but I seriously doubt it will be "free" like EA Play.
Unless MS is going to drop some BIG bucks that is.
Yeah, no way it gets rolled into Game Pass. I can, however, see a discounted Game Pass Ultimate & Ubisoft+ bundle for maybe like $25 or something.
Most of Square's stuff will end up on Xbox, but I wouldn't hold out hope for FF unless something changes. Sony want PS to be the home of FF this gen. FF7 was supposed to be on Xbox by now, but here we are.
Shpeshal Nick strikes again, he confirmed this with his source and said this back in February last year.
Yeah I should probably get used to it by now since they started this trend well before this gen. Way back when FFX/2 HD stayed finished and untouched in SteamDB for EXACTLY a year and then just released.
I mean SE is helping MS make PD are they that much in Sony's camp
After the EA sub got added to the platform and GamePass knew it was only a matter of time for the Ubisoft one to get added. These days there's not much of Ubisoft's titles I want to play, but some I'm curious to try and older ones that are done being patched I wouldn't mind delving into. Most times I'm not one for sub services like this though, unless it's cheaper than buying a new game
Hope it gets added to GamePass sub for both PC and Console eventually

They're doing that because it's guaranteed money. After Avengers flopped, they're far more keen to send off non-FF studios to do that kind of thing. It's worth thinking about Square as FF Square and everything else as separate beasts.
I think so as well. I'm just saying it's far less these developers siding with one platform or the other it's Sony / Xbox offering more money or extending deals.
Good news. Even if a separate service is rather by a month or two here and there when games I want to play are out since I'm not a collector.
I think it will depend on how well the service performs by itself. I honestly don't know who is paying $15/month to play Ubisoft games and what the churn rate is like. I hope a lesser tier with older titles like EA Play gets created just for Game Pass.
That's what I mean though, it's only about the money. There's also the JP/Sony relationship that's hard-wired, but that barely matters now. Big Jim Ryan at the wheel.
Hope this goes into GPU eventually but I could see myself subbing for a few months a year to this alongside Game Pass to get all my Ubi games for the year sorted.
Yeah, other than maybe backend issues with PSN due to how it handles versioning (Ubi+ includes premium versions of games, day one) I don't see a reason why it wouldn't come to PlayStation. Even less when you consider Ubi+ is everywhere else, PC, Stadia, Luna.
There is absolutely zero chance the service as is will be included in GP or Spartacus though.
Can't see U+ ever being included in game pass without a lower tier being created. Zero chance something like Assassin's Creed launches into current GP.
I guess I can see CD being sold to MS or just let go period in the come years
all AC games in one subscription. I would love that if weren´t because I already own like 90% of them.
I'm fine with MS eventually offering a free month of this as a GPU perk, or at least with a free trial for a couple weeks or a month. A one week trial would be too little, lol, but I'll take it anyway. If pricing is correct though, I can see myself paying for a month or two here and there to easily fulfill absolutely all my Ubi gaming needs in "short" bursts.
Is the EA inclusion in GamePass a permanent benefit? I always assumed it was a limited time deal and would eventually go back to being separate ... but it has been going a long time already.
Lol this is now my favorite part of the thread.
Yeah I expect a second tier with a 6-12 month delay on titles for a lower price. That tier could end up in GPU though.
No sings of it ever going away, but I don't know if it was announced as a limited deal or what. I suppose as long as MS is paying EA the entirety of what they would be owed if the same subscriptions were standalone, they can be there forever.
I know there's a lot of talk about Ubisoft+ not being rolled into GPU because it includes day 1 releases, but that's only half the story. It *also* gives you the ultimate edition of those releases with all the DLC. The whole point in Ubisoft+ (and the reason it costs what it does) is that it's effectively the only money you ever need to give them to access all their stuff (bar some micro transaction cosmetics).
