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.
A standalone version of the Ubisoft Plus Classics subscription service is now available on the PlayStation Store.
I wonder who the nut jobs are that will get this. Seriously Ubisoft isn't worth a sub and having this along side ps+ y'all must be rich.
Disclaimer: It's always cheaper purchasing the entire Ubisoft Game Edition when they're on sale.
Exactly. Ubisoft prices plummet soo fast and hit some incredible lows. I probably wouldn't own every Assassin's Creed game if it weren't for the dirt cheap sales they hit.
This service is for the severely uninformed. These games are in bargain bin why rent them monthly?
Exactly you can pickup most of their backlog for 5 bucks a pop with change I've seen some older titles go for as little as $1 like watch dogs
Ubisoft has revamped its Ubisoft+ subscription service, but Sony needs to get in on its Premium tier for PS5 as Xbox continues to boast better day-one access.
Why, do people really want this. 17.99 lol ubisoft slow down. Should be 10 at most
They want WAY more than PS+ Premium costs, and this site is trying to spin it as if PS fans are missing out by not getting ripped off by Ubisoft...
10 years from now: Why doesn't PS7 have all 10 options for game subscriptions services? Why is it still focusing on selling games!?
I think the game subscription service bubble will have popped by then, just like it's popping right now for movie and show subscription services. It's evolving the exact same way... A couple services pop up that offer it all, the content providers start getting greedy and decide to launch their own services and begin pulling content from the original services to make it exclusive to their own, people get sick of having to have 10 different subs pulling $100 a month out of their accounts, and it all goes belly up.
Not sure why it’s not on PS but hopefully that changes. The more options the better.
@Mr Logic
I know :) I just meant I dislike the fact that "they" shove tv, movie, game and whatnot-subscriptions down our throats. The endresult for me and my wife at least, is that we start to avoid them altogether.
So in the long run these companies actually loose money on us. I just wish more people would boycott it so we can get rid of 90% of the crap ones out there. (subscriptions that is) :)
@ Zeke
I get where you're coming from. Besides PS+ and Prime (for the shipping) I haven't had any subscription for 5+ years.
N4G - the hive mind see it as a negative light on Papa PlayStation when @Two said they're not sure why it's not on PS. Anything that can be taken even as slight criticism is downvoted by the drones.
It's enough with the free package we get with Ubisoft.
Would never pay 18$/month for this, that's way more than I pay for PS+ Premium.
Ubisoft has rebranded its subscription offering and introduced a new service for PC players. 'more to come' on Activision Blizzard
"Gamers are used to owning their games. That's the consumer shift that needs to happen"
:(
Lol. I don't understand how people still want an all digital future, those are the people ok with not owning "their" games. "Convenient " Just get up and switch the disc 🙄. My BG3 copy comes Q2 2024. I don't "own" Alan Wake 2, and have no plans to until its released as a physical copy. Smdh.
Literally everything they blasted MS for when they revealed the Xbox One is not only coming true, but lovingly welcomed.
You seemed to be confused between the debate of owning physical versus owning digital games, and the debate of subscribing to versus owning a game. These are two separate issues.
I will say there is a misconception on the physical vs. digital debate which is that own a physical disc is just owning an install disc. You're still installing the actual game into your hard drive just like owning it digitally.
I totally would rather have physical discs but the problem nowadays is that a lot of games are not finished. Several have gamebreaking bugs that could stall your progress late in a game. So these games need a Day 1 patch or several patches to remedy the issues. I wouldn't care much to play vanilla Cyberpunk from a disc if I could no longer receive patches. The problem is with games being rushed out the door with "Gone Gold" status.
I have disability’s I have great internet. I like digital it is easier to do with my disabilities . Everyone is different. If you like physical disk that’s fine others like me like not changing disk. I have never been not able to redownload are stream any game I paid for
It's mostly lazy and dumb people I see supporting digital games. I could understand if the digital versions were at least discounted since they cost less to make but they aren't so there is no good reason to get the digital version when the physical is available.
Escamotage, at least you get theres not only a code on the disc lol. Im not confused in the least though digital is digital, whether its subscription based or your buying your games from a digital store front. You dont own them. They undid it, but point in case is the removal of the Discovery Channel videos from customers. Its entirely possible for them to take your digital purchases. They'd have to physically come to my home and take my games. If the internet is ever tampered with I can play any of my games. A lot of hypotheticals but its possible.
Same. I mean what kind of statement is that? Gamers need to unite against this bs.
Gamers are uniting alright, and filling up these corperate pockets. I tried to start a crusade when they introduced horse armor dlc that was only useful for making fancy screenshots but I digress. Now every game has a battlepass, its sickening.
Publishers need to start feeling comfortable with having their games pirated.
Oh, you didn't like that one? Hmmm....
I mean how DARE people want to own something they spend their hard earned money on, despicable behaviour!
It’s what companies want so they get a steady stream of income. Screw that. Imma stop gaming if everything is streaming, digital, cloud. Playing my retro machines are perfectly fine for me.
Just look at the drop in quality from other subscription media. They push out content to fill quotas now. Not to make a memorable film or TV show. I worry this will be the future for gaming. Vote with your wallets.
$18/month is a big cost for people who can get most of the older catalogue for cheap as heck.
Right? And if I've learned anything is to not buy their games at launch, ever, because they plummet in price faster than any other major 3rd party studio that I can think of.
Ubi isn't good enough for me to ever consider a service from them. And know that their plan is "you'll own nothing " further hardens my stance.
Maybe if they made good games but they don't and I'm sure not paying more then the cost of psplus. Infact I canceled extra when the raised the price 30%
Ubisoft knows it and that's probably why they include it in Game Pass and PS Premium.
No, it isn't included with PS+ or GP. EA play is included with GP only. UBI is a standalone subscription.
@GotGame818 I can literally play the Ubisoft classics with my PS Plus subscription. There's a section for it.
its a sad estimate that nothing you pay for is actually yours these days.
hard pass.
Ubisoft is a somewhat odd company to offer a subscription service since their games don't retain value. Typically, within a month or two, you can find them at significantly lower prices. Therefore, including new releases and DLC in the subscription is essentially their only method to justify the subscription cost and give it some semblance of value.
The time of year they usually release they can be had on black friday sales everywhere. For half the price.
They don't retain value because they are cookie cutter reskins of the same game mechanics over and over in every game.
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.
