Thanks to a newly announced partnership, Ubisoft is giving away 13 games from its catalog (including Assassin’s Creed games, Rainbow Six games, and more) with a slight catch. The timing isn’t likely to be a coincidence either, as the move may very well build more goodwill for the company following the successful release of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. Ubisoft hate is easy to come by, but consumer-friendly moves like this one should always be welcome and applauded.
After all, it could be argued that “consumer-friendly” isn’t exactly the current direction of the gaming industry. PlayStation 6 and Xbox Helix consoles are believed to be $1000+, while PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles keep going up in price. The RAM Crisis is taking its toll, and PlayStation has committed to ending disc production in January 2028, ushering in a new digital-only era for the company. And while there are a lot of contemporary and future issues with digital ownership, one step by Ubisoft and Xbox is at least somewhat positive.
Xbox PC users now have access to more than 80 Ubisoft games through Microsoft’s gaming storefront, but the new additions have one major limitations.
