Update 16:10 BST:Ubisoft+ has now been added to Xbox via the Multi Access Plan, and will include Assassin’s Creed Mirage, The Crew Motorfest, and Skull and Bones on day one. Subscriptions cost $17.99 (plus tax) per month.
We’re still waiting to find out when Ubisoft+ will come toXbox, but insiders report thatits arrival is imminent. Supporting this, one gamer claims to have spotted a “Discover Ubisoft+” box on the Rewards page, captioned, “Get unlimited access to fan-favorite franchises and more”.
This discovery was shared on the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit by u/polar_hun, with one commenter, u/PastryAssassinDeux, backing it up: “ya I got this as well earlier. Not showing up anymore though”.

According to the original poster, “Clicking [the Ubisoft+ tab] leads to an error page”, so it’s clearly not intended to be there, hence its alleged sudden removal. However, it appears to be in the backend (having accidentally slipped into public view), likely preparing for that imminent update. You can find a photo of Ubisoft+ on Xbox linked in the Reddit post below.
Right now, it’s unclear how Ubisoft+ will work on Xbox. It’s bundled with PS Plus' Extra and Premium subscriptions, so it could be attached to Game Pass. However, neither party has said that this will be the case, so it might simply be that Ubisoft+ launches as its own separate subscription on Xbox that you need to buy on top of Game Pass.
Xbox-focused industry insider Jez Corden made the earlier claim that Ubisoft+ is coming to Xbox imminently, corroborating leaks from February when it was found thatXbox OS had been updated to add Ubisoft+ icons. Corden also clarified in a follow-up tweet when asked if Ubisoft+ will be bundled into Game Pass, “Not sure yet”.
While we know very little about how Ubisoft+ will work on Xbox, we can take a look elsewhere to speculate. The cheapest option starts at $14.99 a month and it holds over 100 games. These includeRainbow Six Siege,Far Cry 6,Assassin’s Creed Valhalla,Watch Dogs Legion,Immortals Fenyx Rising,The Division 2, and many more. PS Plus Extra costs the same, at $14.99, which lines up with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate which already includes EA Play.
Ubisoft+ doesn’t add new games day one and usually takes a while to implement newer releases, but it typically offers discounts as well as perks like season passes. Whether we see this implemented on Xbox is another question - right now, all we can do is wait and see.
Given the claims of its arrival being “imminent”, Ubisoft+ icons being added in February, and this new discovery, it looks like we might not be waiting much longer after all.
