An expanded partnership between Xbox and Ubisoft grants players who own select Ubisoft titles on console free access to their PC versions via Ubisoft Connect.
Xbox Expands Ubisoft Partnership, Delivers 13 Free PC Game Upgrades
A significant expansion of the Xbox and Ubisoft partnership is now live, delivering immediate value to players across ecosystems. Xbox console owners who have previously purchased specific Ubisoft titles can now claim and play the PC versions of those same games at no additional cost.
Your Library Just Got Bigger: How the Free PC Upgrades Work
This initiative is operational right now. The process is straightforward: if you own one of the qualifying Ubisoft games on Xbox, you can access its PC counterpart through the Ubisoft Connect application.
The key step is linking your accounts. You must connect your Xbox account to your Ubisoft Connect account. Once this linkage is verified, the corresponding PC versions of your owned games will be unlocked and added to your Ubisoft Connect PC library for permanent access.
The Initial Roster: 13 Games Now Include PC Access
The first wave of this program includes 13 titles from Ubisoft’s catalog, featuring a mix of its biggest franchises. The list of games eligible for free PC version upgrades is as follows:
- Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
- Assassin’s Creed Mirage
- Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
- Assassin’s Creed Origins
- Far Cry 6
- Far Cry New Dawn
- Far Cry 5
- Watch Dogs: Legion
- Watch Dogs 2
- Watch Dogs
- The Division 2
- The Division
- Riders Republic
This selection spans several years of releases, offering both modern blockbusters and recent classics. Players can verify their eligibility and initiate the claiming process directly through the Ubisoft Connect desktop client.
A Strategic Win for Cross-Platform Play
This move is more than a promotional offer; it’s a tangible benefit from the ongoing strategic partnership between Xbox and Ubisoft. For players, it eliminates the traditional barrier of platform-locked purchases within this specific publisher ecosystem.
The integration deepens the value proposition of the Xbox Game Pass ecosystem, even for titles outside of Game Pass itself. By linking purchases, Ubisoft and Xbox are fostering a more seamless, player-friendly approach to a multi-platform gaming library, ensuring your investment in a game transcends the console it was first bought on.
