Ubisoft+ (formerly Uplay+) is a subscription-based video game service from Ubisoft offering access to download and play games from Ubisoft's library for a single monthly fee.[1] Ubisoft+ offers subscribers unlimited access to a catalog of more than 100 games on Microsoft Windows PCs, including titles such as Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs: Legion and Immortals Fenyx Rising.[2] Ubisoft+ also includes premium editions to games, classic titles and additional content packs.[3] With a Ubisoft+ subscription, games can be downloaded and played on Windows computers using the free Ubisoft Connect game launcher.

History[edit]

Ubisoft announced the new subscription service at E3 2019.[4] The service, then called Uplay+, launched on September 3, 2019, for Windows.[5]

In October 2020, Uplay+ rebranded to Ubisoft+ and announced its service expansion to cloud gaming platforms Amazon Luna and Google Stadia for US subscribers in November 2020 and December 2020, respectively.[6][7] New releases were added including Watch Dogs: Legion in October 2020,[8] Assassin's Creed Valhalla in November 2020[9] and Immortals Fenyx Rising in December 2020.[10]

Ubisoft also announced its plans to bring Ubisoft+ to PlayStation consoles and was made available in May-June 2022 as part of the revamped PlayStation Plus subscription service with Ubisoft+ Classics on the Extra and Premium tiers.[11] Ubisoft+ was eventually brought to Xbox consoles on April 12, 2023.[12]
