Ubisoft+ is Coming to PlayStation. Ubisoft+ Classics is a curated list of 27 games that will be included with PlayStation Plus Extra & Premium beginning 24th May. The list will grow to 50 titles by the end of 2022.
Not a massive Ubisoft fan but I least I won’t have to pay for their games when I do play them. I dabble with assassins still yet to start previous one tho (before valhalla)
Ubisoft+ is the paid for subscription service that will bring access to more than 100 titles, additional content packs, and rewards. The PlayStation release date has yet to be announced.

Yeah its a good move, I was a fairly regular player of assadins creed but skipped odyssey and only played a bit of Valhalla, they've become a bit grindy but the locales are great, it's always interesting to see where they go next.
Yeah that’s it they are great gsmes, or solid 8/10’s at least and not quite as bad as Fifa, at least you get new settings etc but yeah got a bit burnt out, really enjoyed the Egyptian one few months back tho I got Odyssey to play (the one before valhalla) and I’ll check latest one out next year sometime 🙌🏻🤣 defo like to see it as set in Britain for at least parts of it.
I'd say more than a little grindy AC feels like a chore to play based on its grind levels prepare to dedicate 60 hours to finish the story alone in valhalla according to howlonhtobeat it's like they saw the numbers rdr2 was putting up and said hold my beer
Honestly, I like Odyssey and Origins more than Valhalla. One of the best is Black Flag. If you want a BOTW Zelda like experience Fenyx Rising is fantastic. Corny yes, but a lot of fun!
Is it good though? With the GP/Ubi+ rumours people on N4G were talking shit about Ubisoft games. Now that Ubi has a deal with PS suddenly people are happy? N4G is so predictable.
Ubi games are cookie cutter. Creative premise, sure, but they're all built on the same structure/foundation.
And no, people weren't suddenly praising Ubi once the GP rumours started. People didn't seem to care because Ubi's recent titles aren't worth playing. That's on top of Ubi's push for NFTs in everything. Mediocre games are mediocre games, they don't suddenly become good just because they get added to a subscription service.
Tbh still talking crap about them. They are great for really average run of the mill games and sentencing their franchises to death by repetition. Ubi is where innovation goes to die
Agreed. They've got some really creative ideas but it doesn't matter when those ideas are handcuffed. I enjoyed the early bits of AC Valhalla because it felt different. But as soon as the game starts to open up it falls right back into the same tired formula. It got boring very quickly so I just gave up. Same issue with Watch Dogs Legion, though the different characters and abilities helped elevate it slightly more.
Right there's no quality in this list. Another Ubisoft hater.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla For Honor The Crew 2 Child of Light Eagle Flight Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Far Cry 3 Remaster Far Cry 4 Legendary Fishing Risk: Urban Assault South Park: The Fractured but Whole South Park: The Stick of Truth Space Junkies Star Trek: Bridge Crew Starlink: Battle for Atlas STEEP The Crew The Division Trackmania Turbo Transference Trials Fusion Trials of the Blood Dragon Game Trials Rising Valiant Hearts: The Great War Watch Dogs Werewolves Within ZOMBI
So a service which includes 27 games for free to already paying PS+ customers is not a good thing? Out of those 27 games, I can count at least 10 that is worth playing. There is more quality in most of Ubisoft games than it some of the last Xbox games.
@rippermcrip: I expect to own things I paid for. And whether its directly through Ubi or Sony's sub service, you're only paying to access something on their terms. I mean, how many times have you heard about someone foul mounted idiot losing access to an account with thousands of dollars in games because of their foul mouth? And then there's paying for MT or season passes for these games you're only paying access to will rotated out or removed completely by market dictated whim.
So you're entire life you never rented anything, music, movies, etc and the concept and definition of what renting is unbeknownst to you?
I'm sure everyone here knows that the games offered won't be around for long but can still be enjoyed none the less.. because the game doesn't change at all whether it's bought or rented.
Yep that went straight over their head we saw the list we said what we said Quality not quantities 🙄🤣🤷 27995;♂️ Agreed tho assassins great every couple of years not once a year it’s too much they are too big to be smashing through one every 12 months. South Park is South Park, not actually played second one yet but first was great and yeah literally the remainder of the list for me is an big meh 🤷🏻♂️🤣 won’t be touching 90% of it but it’s options lol. Might dabble with a far cry but think I did 4 defo did 3* and already got bored of the series it’s their FPS assassin’ up a tower reveal this shoot that insert a new villain bang a new number on the end 🙄🤣✌🏻
As for movies, bit of a difference between a 70 minute to 2 hour plus movie, and a game meant to be played through in 20 to 80 hours much less the hundreds of hours you can sink into one. Nevermind that were' not talking about renting just one game, but paying to access a library that can and will be arbitrarily changed with titles added or removed. While you likely pay for add ons to those games you have no real control of.
And staying on rentals, just like rental stores effected how movies were made, created the rental genre which has become the streaming genre, game streaming WILL effect how games are made. Just like mobile has effected and riddled them with MTs and ads.
@Obscure_Observer: After the first, before said franchise is spammed to death, you mean.
"..bit of a difference between a 70 minute to 2 hour plus movie, and a game meant to be played through in 20 to 80 hours much less the hundreds of hours you can sink into one"
How is that a difference? You take a hard stance on owning a game because that game can be played for hundred of hours, are you suggesting that every game available even has that sort of content, especially sony single player games? You keep bringing up a lot of hypothetical, extreme situations that rarely happen and if they do it's an isolated case or not wide spread.
"just like rental stores effected how movies were made, created the rental genre which has become the streaming genre, game streaming WILL effect how games are made.
You actually didn't make any point with that comparison. How did it effect how movies are made, because all I'm still seeing summer blockbusters, more CGI and the same big budget hollywood flicks. (not counting the pandemic of course) If anything streaming TV services had led to movie quality shows that most of the time beat anything releasing in theaters.
"..game streaming WILL effect how games are made. Just like mobile has effected and riddled them with MTs and ads."
MT's and ads are already in games without a rental subscription service, it's been a staple in mostly all games for the past two generations with very few exceptions. Not seeing how all of a sudden streaming/rental is going to give rise to this even more when this is the direction games have been in already.
I originally asked what changes in a game when you rent it as supposed to buying it. All you're telling me is what you personally think might happen with features and options that are already a solidified in gaming.
Expected weak sauce, and proves my intial point you have no idea what you're complaining about.
Halo Infinite's problem isn't a product direved from GP.
Cyberpunk, No Man's Sky, GT 7 and many more that I'm sure anyone here can name have had development issues after release and none of them was on a gaming service.
I mean, 50 games by the end of the year is pretty significant, and it's not actually just old games.
It's not about how new or old games are it's about quality and fun. There are games that are decades old that I can play for the first time today and have tons of fun playing them still.
Me too. At first I thought (before I clicked on the article) that Sony bought Ubisoft lol, but I’m glad I read and see clearly what this is and what it means.
Not a fan of Ubisoft, currently, but some of their older AC games, not so bad.
Ubisoft had a couple bad games at the start of last generation, which ultimately were fixed, but they shouldn't have released them. Other than that they've sold millions. The small group of haters online don't speak for hardly any one.
Not really, they haven't done anything exciting in a long time IMO, but if you're planning on going extra or premium (or whatever the names are) then getting Ubisoft+ as a no added cost bonus on top is hardly a bad thing. Won't affect me because I'm staying at the essential tier, at least until some MGS games get added.
Awesome, awesome, awesome, i dony buy ubisoft games so this is great, even better that its on top of a ton older ps ganes i love and havent played in so long.
Ahh - so now a service like Game Pass is a good thing. On a side not - glad this is comming - and i will bu using this - and hopefully awoid the usual hype into buying Ubisoft games, that then bore me after 2 hours. Nice good catch
Service like GamePass? What do you actually mean? PSNow has been around for years and there has been more streaming serviced than GamePas last couple of years. Who said Ubisoft+ is a good thing, what is good however is that Ubisoft+ Classic is included for free in PS+ Extra/Premium, because no one ever said no to free games.
You would be singing praises if this was a Gamepass article. Now you are crying lmao
The issue people have is begging for day 1 releases and acting like a service is crap if they don't have them.
What happened to all the "This isn't gamepass, it's just PS+ combined with PSNow" retort? All of sudden the new Plus revamp is infact equivalent to gamepass and people are changing their attitude towards it lol.
Pick one.
Is it equivalent to GP or just a combining of the two previous services?
How can people flip flop on something that according to you isn't any different than what was there before? If the new Plus is just PS+ combined with PSNow and you were okay with PSNow and PS+ before, how are you flip flopping since nothing has changed right?
Your previous comments towards the revamp is making you look silly crying about flip flopping.
It's not the attitude towards games services, we've had games services like PS+ and PS Now around for many years (the new PS+ is just the two of those combined with tiers).
It's the attitude towards day and date releases, supporting developers by buying their games instead of taking a gamble and the sustainability of a service that plays it like Game Pass plays it, that is where there's a negative attitude from some. Game Pass remains a loss maker for MS.
I'm definitely gonna sign up.. a great start even without UBIsoft+.
I wanna know tho, what happened to all the hate for "Rental services?" and how much cash did Sony have to throw out to get Ubisoft on there?......to be honest I don't really care, but I will point out the hypocrisy of how GP was called garbage and this is somehow awesome.
I personally love this as a consumer, tons of games to support my hobby without breaking my wallet. I commend Sony for following and paying attention to GP success and actually investing in PS Plus/Now.
Because it's a nice little safe space for people who only play on Playstation.
Why go to other sites that hold civil conversation on videogames as a whole when you can come here and speak to an echo chamber who hold the exact same point of view as you.
Most EA games are sports games & racers. The last games that had out were Lost In Random,It Takes Two & Battlefield 2042..meh games. The last good game from EA was the 2019 Jedi Fallen Order..they're no better than Ubisoft.
It’s easier to get excited for JFO 2, Respawns Star Wars FPS, Dead Space remake, Dragon Age 4, Titanfall 3 etc than anything Ubisoft has announced or is rumored to be working on.
Most of the games you're naming have no release dates except Dead Space. Whenever they do release it'll be a year or so before they're on Ubisoft+. The meh Battlefield 2042 isn't on EA Play,the game is only on EA service EA Play Pro for PC only. Try again.
Not a massive Ubisoft fan but I least I won’t have to pay for their games when I do play them. I dabble with assassins still yet to start previous one tho (before valhalla)
It’s a good thing for Sony that this wasn’t lost to GamePass. This service is off to a promising start next month.
Awesome news!
I assumed it would just be old games(and it mostly is) but i was surprised AC Valhalla is included day one.
