Ubisoft is bringing its on-demand gaming subscription service, Ubisoft Plus, often stylized as Ubisoft+, to the Xbox console ecosystem. Currently, Ubisoft+ is available on PC for $14.99 USD per month, and the service offers members hundreds of Ubisoft titles to play, including the newest AAA releases such as Assassin's Creed: Valhalla or Watch Dogs: Legion. It is important to note that Ubisoft+ will not be included in Xbox's Game Pass service, meaning players interested in Ubisoft games are required to pay an additional fee.
However, while the two subscription services are separate, there are many Ubisoft games currently available on Xbox through game pass. At this point in time, Ubisoft has not commented on whether or not these games will be removed from game pass in favor of placing them on Ubisoft+ exclusively.
