In the eternal battle between Microsoft and Sony, Xbox Game Pass has established itself as a service that gives Xbox an edge. With hundreds of games available for a relatively small subscription price, it’s easy to see why both hardcore and casual gamers have fallen in love with Game Pass. While both Microsoft and Sony have struggled to buy game developers and work together to bring exclusive offerings to their platforms, Ubisoft is one of the biggest developers that has remained neutral.
As the ninth largest game developer in the world by revenue, Ubisoft is a force to be reckoned with. From Assassin’s Creed until for honor until Far cryUbisoft just makes games that people love. Earlier this spring, Xbox Game Pass announced that it had gotten two new Ubisoft games for the service: Assassin’s Creed Origins and For Honor: Marching Fire Edition, with the promise of more to come. And while Microsoft hasn’t secured all games yet, hopefully this is the first sign of a promising future for Game Pass subscribers. Here are all the Ubisoft games currently available on Game Pass.
Assassin’s Creed Origins
Origin is the first game that Ubisoft released their . called Assassin’s Creed “Ancient Trilogy”, which also includes: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Origin was also the first game in the Assassin’s Creed franchise to embrace a true open-world environment. The reception at AC Origin was mixed among the fans. While many praised the game for its new and unique take on a long-running series, hard core fans felt the game strayed too far from the essential elements of the game. Assassin’s Creedsuch as the lack of stealth missions. regardless, Origin remains one of the most successful games in Assassin’s Creed history.
Assassin’s Creed Origin Set in Egypt in 49 BC, it follows the story of Bayek, one of the last Medjay, and his wife Aya in their quest for revenge. With a vibrant, eye-catching open world to explore, endless amounts of weapons to collect and interesting characters, Origin does an excellent job of rebooting the Assassin’s Creed franchise, while still honoring what players loved about the previous games.
For Honor, Marching Fire Edition
for honor has been available on Game Pass for quite some time, but the Marching Fire edition was added last June. The standard edition includes all the classic for honor Features: The Base Game, Single Player Story Mode, and Online Multiplayer. The Marching Fire Edition includes everything from the standard edition, plus 16 automatically unlocked heroes and an exclusive Arcade mode. With both solo and multiplayer options, Arcade Mode pits players against bots as they struggle through challenges of increasing difficulty. Though it has its hits and misses, for honor is an exciting new take on multiplayer gaming that tries to break the mold.
Rainbow Six Siege, Deluxe Edition
Rainbow Six Siege was something of a revelation to Ubisoft when it first launched. As one of the studio’s first games to have post-launch support, it was able to overcome a somewhat rocky start to become one of the most popular online multiplayer video games, with over 70 million players as of December 2020 The game is still getting live updates every day. years, keeping it at the top of the co-op gaming charts.
Siege is also one of the most competitive games in Esports. Since joining ESL in 2016, the game has only grown in popularity as prize pools grow and competitions become more competitive. To give new players a head start, Game Pass subscribers will get access to the Deluxe Edition of the game, which will give them eight DLC operators for Years 1 and 2.
Rainbow Six Extraction is the only game that Ubisoft has made available on Game Pass on its launch date so far. As a spin-off from Rainbow Six SiegeThe game would never flop, but it hasn’t been as successful as Ubisoft had hoped. Where Siege matches players with live players in a PvP format, Extraction pit players against alien NPCs. While it is certainly fun and interesting to explore new territory and defeat new enemies, Extraction lose sight of what has made Siege so successful.
Far cry 5
Far cry 5 is arguably the most successful Ubisoft game of all time, and its inclusion for Game Pass subscribers is a welcome sight. Commercially, the game made $310 million in its opening weekend, a record at the time for Ubisoft. Far cry 5 did equally well among critics, receiving praise for its open world playground and dystopian setting. However, like any popular game, it was not without opponents. Some critics argued that the way the game portrayed religious fanaticism and far-right movements made it too controversial.
With the recent launch of Far Cry 6it is definitely worth visiting again (or playing for the first time) Far cry 5. The sixth game is a marked improvement over the fifth, as any newer game should be. However, Far cry 5 offers a unique story that remains relatively unexplored in other franchises. Plus Far cry 5 introduced animal friends, which are always an excellent addition. Stop the cult, save Hope County and pray that no nuclear weapons are launched in the meantime.
Watchdogs 2

Launched in 2016, Watchdogs 2 is a third person, open world action game that combines the best elements of other Ubisoft features in one game. With the stealth and parkour of Assassin’s Creed and the multiplayer collaboration of Rainbow Six Siege, it’s easy to see why many players fell in love with it. Ubisoft intentionally studied and addressed feedback from the original watchdogs game, and clearly improved on almost every problem players had with the first game. Watchdogs 2 may not be the best game that Game Pass offers, but it’s an enjoyable experience in an immersive, well-rounded world well worth any player’s time.
