    As it's not included in Game Pass I'm not bothered. Have enough subscriptions and have already been actively cancelling some recently.

    For 15$ per month I cannot imagine that Ubi+ is a subscription that many ppl have, they should just put it into Game Pass (optional) for 5$ extra p. m.

    Given EA Play is $5 and you typically have to wait a year to play a game, there is no way Ubisoft+ will be less than $10 since it also includes DLC.

    Hopefully it joins gamepass in the future like EA Play did. dance
    Never going to happen, unless either the price of GPU is increased from $15 to $25, or a new GP tier at $25 is created.

    Unlike EA Play or even GPU, Ubisoft+ includes DLC.
    Fair point! I am never going to buy Ubisoft+ (...probably) so a gamepass inclusion or perk or discount would just be a neat treat. Ubisoft+ is a good idea but I've already purchased most of the games I wanted. So that's that.
    With regards, Slayer.

    Just realized this... saddening to see the lack of Xbox 360 games as well.

    They have not included all the games, Odyssey or Origins not included, so it could be cheaper, or maybe it is only the games being flagged as Ubi+ and this article is just guesswork from that. Origins and Odyssey may be included in Ubi+, but not getting the tag as it is currently getting the GP tag. When Ubi+ launches Origins and Odyssey could leave GP.
    I believe only 1 game is in both Game Pass and EA Play. I would expect a similar arrangement with Ubisoft+.

    Or games will come to U+ on day 1 and a few years later appear on Game Pass for 3-6 months. That will make people think about getting U+ for the DLC and latest game in the series.

    Hopefully not, these fools put their games on sale every week on Xbox, I think we all have their shitty games in our libraries by default at this point

    $10 per month is more realistic. Perhaps for that extra $10 Microsoft could add DLC for some other games to Game Pass.

    I see it as a subscription I dip in and out of, rather than GPU which I keep even on the months I never use it. Unless there is a $90 for a year option (ie half price).

    For example I could play Watch_Dogs 1&2 from GwG and GP, then take out 1 month of Ubisoft+ to complete the DLC + DLC for AC:V and FC6. Even when they are on sale that will save me $50.

    About time. Hopefully it will have a free trial and use it to play through Lost between Worlds. I will not sub fully until the next Fenyx, Watch Dogs, AC (not mirage), Far Cry etc are all in there.
    I was thinking the exact same thing. Although there is no free trial for Disney+ (too many people just starting another free trial once it runs out).

    A GPU perk would be good. Might only be a 7 day free trial.

    This could be worth buying a few months for me. If it includes games with ALL DLC I see myself switching from Gamepass for a few months.

    Sweet. Love all AC games but with how much DLC they add to them lately and the amount of time it goes from release of game until they stop releasing DLC I’ve already decided I won’t be buying the next AC game at launch and will just wait until all DLC has been released. Now with this I can just subscribe for a month or two and complete the game then unsubscribe.

    I assume this is because they have or are in the process of shutting down all online services for the 360 games so maybe they don’t want to put them in the service as people would ask why online doesn’t work for games in the service.

    Hopefully separate from GP entirely.

    This is great for those that don't have any of these games or haven't played them. Personally, I own all of the Ubi games I want to play, typically buying a Gold Edition where available to gain access to DLC (prior to Ubi releasing post Gold Edition DLC).

    So I don't particularly want to pay extra for GPU to include a service I'll not make the most out of.
  • Posted on 11 January 23 at 19:28
    If this isn't going on Game Pass like EA Play, I'll never buy it outright. You play one Ubisoft game, you've played them all.
  • Posted on 11 January 23 at 19:33
    Not me being an idiot and already owning most of these games.

    It says $17.99 for the multi access.. meaning PC and console I believe. What a huge rip off.. 😆

    The price will be the deciding factor on wether this is successful or not
    It kinda makes me happy that they decided to make it $15, because I can’t imagine it succeeds with a $15/month price tag. I don’t typically hope for companies to fail, but considering I don’t want Game Pass style subscription services for games to go the way of streaming services for movies and TV, yeah I don’t want too many. Just GP, PS’s service and if Nintendo were to launch their own service would be good enough. Enough for competition but not so much that it’s overwhelming to the consumer.

    Zero interest in this, or Ubisoft games in general nowadays
