Owning one in every of 13 specific Ubisoft games on XBOX console now gets you the PC version at no extra cost. That\u2019s one half of an expanded Ubisoft and XBOX partnership that went live today, and the opposite half is a much wider choice of premium editions and add-on content arriving for Ubisoft titles on XBOX on PC.<\/p>\n
The PC side covers a broad slice of the Ubisoft catalog, with premium editions, add-on content, or each now available for games including Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows, Star Wars Outlaws, Tom Clancy\u2019s Rainbow Six Siege, Skull and Bones, and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Ubisoft also points to entries across the Assassin\u2019s Creed, Far Cry, The Crew, and Watch Dogs franchises, so the additions run deeper than the five headline games.<\/p>\n
The console-to-PC side runs through Ubisoft Connect slightly than the XBOX app, and it applies to anyone who owns the digital XBOX console version of the next games:<\/p>\n
Buying a digital copy of any listed game from today onward puts each the XBOX console and XBOX on PC versions in your account immediately. Existing owners are being handled through a progressive rollout that runs until August 4, and Ubisoft is asking players to update Ubisoft Connect<\/a> to its newest version so the titles actually show up of their library.<\/p>\n There are a number of limits price knowing before you go digging through your library, starting with the indisputable fact that this only works in a single direction. Owning a game on PC doesn’t get you the console version. Editions and DLC you own on XBOX will carry over for many games, with consumables like in-game currency and one-time-use items excluded. Ubisoft Connect will display the edition name tied to your account, and every game\u2019s Properties page breaks down exactly which add-on content made the trip.<\/p>\n In my Star Wars Outlaws review, I called it a stealthy slog, with bullet sponge enemies and gunplay that felt off next to The Division. The world was gorgeous and convincingly Star Wars, however the moment-to-moment gameplay was a letdown. Ubisoft has rolled out several major combat and stealth overhauls since then, though, so anyone picking it up now could be getting something noticeably different from what I reviewed at launch.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Owning one in every of 13 specific Ubisoft games on XBOX console now gets you the PC version at no extra cost.
