Ubisoft+ Coming To Xbox Soon

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I reckon a EA Play style version of the service, where games aren't day 1 but go up after some time, may become a part of Game Pass Ultimate at some point in the near future.

Looks like they have a guaranteed subscriber. Keep in mind if Ubisoft+ comes to Xbox, it also means Xbox gets a cut of Ubisoft+ transactions conducted on its platform. :)

They are doing different tiers. I would wait for that one, since that one has a possibility for gamepass.

Still, I wouldnt sub to it. Its not worth it. They dont have interesting IPs. And their good IP gets cheap over time.

These are their ultimate edition after 1 year.

This normal game price

Also, their games are filled with fillers. 1 month isnt enough to finish it.

Yeah I was thinking of that. Are we moving towards having dozens of subscriptions for each publisher/dev?

Capcom+?

I think many will try it, but outside of platform holders I don't see any of them making it work unless it is a very budget friendly back catalog type deal like EA Play. Unlike TV/Movies most of these companies just don't create enough content in a year to justify a $10/$15 mo. subscription filled with only their content. EA play works because at $30 a year you are basically even as long as you like to keep close to current on just one of the sports titles (still a lot of players on the sports games one year back).

Not to knock Ubi at all, but when I see what they generally release in a year, it surprises me that they have users paying $240/yr for that. Seems like you could spend less and just buy them all 45 or 60 days after release. 🤷‍♂️

Someone in another thread was saying it was $20/mo. Even at $15/mo., I don't think they release enough to justify the price. Eventually, when your vault is relatively static, which all publisher specific libraries would be, it comes down to what is getting released on it every year. For a die-hard Ubisoft player that is going to buy every expansion and buy every release day one, there can be some value there. In order to hit the masses you really need enough new content in a year so that the service is a good value even if each user is only interested in 15 - 20% of the content offered.

With that said it's good to have the option on Xbox for those that want it. Maybe in the future you might see some bundle promotions where you can save a couple bucks if you already have GP or something like that. Options are always good.

That price is justified for pc players. Since they dont pay for online, compared to console players.

Here is the list for their games on the service. Also, every new game that drops, will be on the service. Its like gamepass, if you only play xbox games, but for pc players. It has all dlc and adds on, unlike xbox gamepass, which has the base game only.

All they have to do is cut down on the crazy sales, and BINGO! Price increase.

EDIT- Microsoft is plowing through blue waters like Nintendo is oftentimes prone to do, but these are waters trending towards angling the pricing strategy in a downwards trajectory. This course could be corrected, of course, with killer-app software that will not bend the knee, but it takes a steel spine to make that happen. I'm drunk posting, and Nintendo needs another Yamauchi-san. lol

There's no reas to subscribe to a Ubisoft service when pretty much every game they make is $20 within months. It's cheaper to wait and buy the few you want To play after they've fixed them.

They have plenty of games I want access to, but didn't buy. Or planned to buy, but didn't yet. This changes that. I'll wait for the subscription and save myself some money, and in the process I'll get access to a much larger set of games, things I may not have ever given a try. For just $15 per month that's more than worth it.

Since you didn't answer, I will tell you.

You are paying for the service. You aren't paying for the games. You are paying access to these games.

You dont own anything on that service.
Its like going to a Cafe, and renting the computer. You don't own the computer, you just have access to it, for a certain period.

Hence, the Question. "Did you buy the game".

You are getting those games for free. You can play any games on those service. You just have to have the card, that let's you play it.

Wow. Very hard earned dollar. Sorry buddy, but time doesn't care about your education.

The game that you spent your hard earned 60$, cost 5$ in 3 years.

All you do, is ignore the new change.

I am waiting for all these smart people, who claim about owning their games, when they realize all they own is just shit license, and not the product that is on their disc. And that product will be gone, once the device that can play it, doesn't work anymore.

There will always be a device that can play what I've purchased, as long as it is physical.

If you can start it and stop it month to month, I'd do it for certain games instead of buying them outright. I'll never go back to play AC Origins but the hype made me buy it at full price and I never even finished it. Renting them for a short time would be great.

I believe you moved the goal post from paying to buying the game. In that case he was initially right. A subscription service is paying for the game.

Additionally, given the move to digital purchases. A user/buyer technically doesn’t own the game.
