![]() ![]() Rather than sending scoldy emails in the guise of Giancarlo Esposito, Ubisoft could offer more enticing reasons for players to spend time with its games by going all-in on Game Pass. There’s no rule saying there can’t be occasional exceptions.Īlso, it’s not uncommon for Ubisoft games like Far Cry 6 and Watch Dogs: Legion to see deep price cuts soon after release. If EA can make money by launching many of its games on Game Pass, Ubisoft can too. Microsoft has deep pockets and hasn’t been shy about dropping big money to acquire developers like Zenimax. There are several reasons bundling Ubisoft games into Game Pass - without the deterrent of an additional fee - makes a lot of sense. So instead of joining the Netflix of games, Ubisoft seems to be preparing to make itself the Starz app of games (it’s right there, but you gotta pay extra). ![]() “Hey! Ubisoft+ will be a separate subscription from Game Pass but keep an eye out for more news and launch dates!” In a follow-up tweet, a company spokesperson clarified how Ubisoft+ on Game Pass would work, without getting into pricing specifics. And as it turns out, the plan is for Ubisoft+ to charge a separate fee in addition to your monthly Game Pass sub. PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch and it will be released on October 29 with Watch Dogs: Legion.Seems like a fair few people online were as confused as we were over at Inverse Towers about this. Ubisoft Connect will be available on Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S. What was key for us is not to compete with those interfaces but to bring something that goes along and offers you additional content that only Ubisoft can bring you.” At launch, Ubisoft will unlock over 1,000 legacy Ubisoft Club rewards for free to all players so that more rewards can be introduced through Ubisoft Connect. When asked if Ubisoft designed its interface to not clash with existing overlays, Ubisoft Connect's Creative Director Charles Huteau said, “For sure we took into account all the other interface you can have on other platforms. With Ubisoft Connect, developers can regularly introduce new challenges for players who might be brushing up against all the challenges in a single title. Perotti said that in a game like Rainbow Six, for example, there are a set number of achievements that will eventually be completed. Perotti says that in the past the systems for earning rewards were “rigid” and that with Ubisoft Connect the process should be more fluid. For players, the most exciting part will likely be tied to the rewards, which can be earned by completing challenges through Ubisoft Connect on any Ubisoft games. Speaking to IGN Stephanie Perotti, VP of Online Services says Ubisoft Connect is meant to unify Ubisoft’s full player services into one global expe5irence that it will be provided on all Ubisoft games on all platforms. Ubisoft Connect will also fully embrace cross-platform features including full cross-progression, cross-platform friends list, and stats, and leaderboards. So players may be able to earn exclusive cosmetics through Ubisoft Connect in those games as well. Ubisoft tells IGN that the rewards program is massively popular in live-service games like Rainbow Six: Siege, but the rewards experience will be brought to single-player affairs like Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, Immortals Fenyx Rising, and more. Ubisoft Connect, formerly known as Uplay or Ubisoft Club, is a service launched by Ubisoft in 2009 with Assassins Creed II to provide an experience similar. These can be cosmetics like skins or weapons or also XP buffs. Also included is a points-based rewards service where players can tackle time-limited and community challenges to earn rewards, and then exchange the earned points for exclusive digital goods. ![]()
