Kinda Looks Like Ubisoft+ Is Gearing Up To Launch On Xbox

Ubisoft+, a subscription service featuring a library of games from the world’s Frenchest publisher, looks poised to launch on Xbox alongside Game Pass.

The last we heard about the potential partnership between Ubisoft+ and Xbox was in August last year when unreleased logos and other assets were found in the Xbox OS’ backend. The Ubisoft+ service, originally called Uplay+ prior to a rebrand, was similar in construction to the EA Play subscription platform in use by competitor Electronic Arts — a huge library of games and DLC from the publisher for the price of a monthly sub. It originally started life on PC, before migrating to cloud gaming platforms like Stadia and Amazon’s Luna. In the wake of Stadia’s shutdown, Ubi has made moves to bring Ubisoft+ to other platforms. It started with PlayStation Plus last year, expressing a desire to have as many as 50 titles on the platform by the end of 2022. If it didn’t get there, it will have gotten bloody close.

This sets the stage for the inevitable move to Xbox.

Originally spotted by TrueAchievements, there is a growing number of games in the Xbox backend that have been marked with a “Ubisoft+” tag. Over the last month, the list of titles that TrueAchievements has been tracking with the tag has grown to a whopping 63 games, and over a hundred DLC packs. The full list as it currently stands looks like this:

• Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China
