So, here we go. Ubisoft, yeah, they dropped a bomb of sorts on Wednesday. Like, hey, guess what? We’re tossing a bunch of our games onto the Xbox PC app. Isn’t that sweet? You can now grab titles — like the new Assassin’s Creed Shadows — right there without having to, you know, jump through hoops. It’s funny, I always felt a bit cheated before. If your Game Pass expired, tough luck, right? But now, boom, you can just buy them. Problem solved, I guess.
Anyway, here’s the list — it’s like a greatest hits parade, or something: Assassin’s Creed Origins (loved it, by the way), Odyssey, Shadows, Valhalla. Far Cry series too, including 5, New Dawn, and 6. Honestly, Far Cry always gave me these weird dreams — don’t ask. Then there’s Immortals Fenyx Rising, which is just, I don’t know, a breath of fresh air? Riders Republic is throwing its hat in, which is cool if you’re into that sort of thing. Oh! And who can forget the South Park games? Hilarious, maybe more than they should be.
And hang on, you also get a bit of Tom Clancy’s spice with Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint. Same universe, right? Kind of like hopping into a Tom Clancy novel, except with way more explosions. Then, there’s The Division 2, Rainbow Six Extraction. And to round it off, Watch Dogs 2 and Legion. Yeah, they’re there too.
But, you know, heads up — there’s this weird catch. So you won’t get the Xbox Play Anywhere thing. Totally bummed me out at first. Buy it here, play it there? Nope. Doesn’t work like that this time. Oh, and don’t get me started on the whole Ubisoft Connect thing. Linking accounts? It’s like they revel in making us jump through digital hoops.
Still, look at it this way: Xbox and Ubisoft are slowly cozying up, which is a win. Someone told me it’s all about patience, like waiting for water to boil when you’re starving. Oh, and Assassin’s Creed Shadows streaming on Xbox Cloud? That’s nifty. If you’ve snagged an Xbox copy, you can stream it. Pretty neat, though I wonder, is it as smooth as they say? Guess there’s only one way to find out. What can I say? Patience and tech — what a combo.
