Ubisoft+ (formerly Uplay+[1]) is a subscription-based video game service from Ubisoft, a French video game publisher. The service provides users with a vast catalog of Ubisoft titles and other benefits, including discounts on purchasing games, downloadable content (DLC) from the service's library. [2]

Ubisoft+ is currently available in two main tiers:

  • Ubisoft+ Premium: Offers access to over 100+ games, including new releases on day 1 of launch day, early access when available, premium editions, DLC and season pass content, 20% discount on games and DLCs, 10% discount on virtual currency and monthly game rewards across PC, Xbox, PlayStation and Amazon Luna.
  • Ubisoft+ Classics: A lower-cost tier focused on legacy titles available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox via Xbox Game Pass. At first, it was only available as a bundle with PlayStation Plus subscriptions but later launched as its own standalone offer.

The service includes popular franchises such as Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, Watch Dogs, Rainbow Six, and The Division, and supports both cross-play and cross-platform progression for many titles.

When a user cancels their subscription, their progression is saved and linked to their Ubisoft Connect and the games will become unavailable unless the user already owns them, purchases them, or re-subscribes to Ubisoft+ again in the future. [3]

History

[edit]

Ubisoft announced the new subscription service Uplay+ at E3 2019.[4][5] The service launched on September 3, 2019, exclusively for Windows PC users via the Ubisoft Connect launcher.[6][7][8][9]

In October 2020, Uplay+ rebranded to Ubisoft+, aligning it with the broader Ubisoft Connect ecosystem, and announced its service expansion to cloud gaming platforms Amazon Luna and Google Stadia (now defunct) for US subscribers in November 2020 and December 2020, respectively.[10][11] [12] New releases were added including Watch Dogs: Legion in October 2020,[13] Assassin's Creed Valhalla in November 2020[14] and Immortals Fenyx Rising in December 2020.[15]

In June 2022, the company launched Ubisoft+ Classics featuring older games on PlayStation consoles as part of the revamped PlayStation Plus subscription service on the Extra, Deluxe, and Premium tiers.[16] Ubisoft+ was launched for Xbox consoles on April 12, 2023[17] and expanded its service on cloud gaming with GEForce NOW. [18] [19] [20]

In January 2024, Ubisoft introduced Ubisoft+ Classics for Windows PC and renamed its higher-tier subscription to Ubisoft+ Premium (previously Ubisoft+ PC Access and Ubisoft+ Multi-Access). [21] [22] [23] In March 2024, Ubisoft+ Classics became available on PlayStation consoles as a standalone subscription.[24]

On September 3, 2024, StarHub has announced to bring Ubisoft+ across Southeast Asia (via GameHub+), marking the first time the service launched in the Asian markets.[25]

On December 2025, 4 Activision titles were released on Ubisoft+ Premium following the announcement of Ubisoft's acquisition of the rights to stream Activision and Blizzard games. [26]

Reception

[edit]

In January 2024, Ubisoft was criticized by some gamers following an interview statement by Philippe Tremblay, Director of Subscriptions, that they need to get "comfortable" with not "owning" their games as part of the evolving landscape of game subscription services.[28][29][30][31]
