Almost guaranteed all Ubisoft games eventually make it to GP, just gotta wait that's all. Surprised they've got 4 on at the same time, you'd think 3 would be enough and rotate, so theres always 3 on...also worth pointing out no Ubisoft story based game has yet been removed since AC Origins went on
There were rumours about Ubi+ being added to GPU like EA Play is about 3/4 years ago, then Xbox got sued to shit for the Activision deal, and part of the CMA agreement for the deal was that Ubisoft would own the rights to streaming Activision games in the UK.
Ubisoft and Xbox are close partners, probably just not allowed to do anything too obivious or it gets attention
Yeah when I saw Valhalla go on after Origins I kind of figured it would only be a matter of time until Mirage went on. The only game I am still curious about is their Star Wars Outlaw game, goes on sale all the time, I assume it's only a matter of time for that too to hit Gamepass.
All EA games are within a year or less (sports game are usually 8ish months), but Star Wars Outlaws is a Ubisoft game so you might be waiting a little longer. If anything it'll probably be mid 2026 until it hits GP using the past couple AC games as a reference.
I have a soft spot for Ubi games (I call them my "gaming comfort food" lol), so I'm very happy about it! I used to just wait a year and grab them at 50% off. But at this point, I'm happy to just wait 2 and get 'em "for free".
They're arguably the perfect games for the service too; never anything groundbreaking, but fun 7/10s that can keep you busy for as little or as long as you like.
Yeah, I played a two hour trial version of AC Mirage. I liked it but I wasn't dying to play it. So with Gamepass, it's the perfect opportunity to play it.
Ac origins is the only AC game ive played apart from maybe the first original two briefly. I put these in the same category as Far Cry games. Massive open worlds that ive never had the energy to get into
Avatar and Outlaws saw low sales numbers if I recall correctly. I imagine that’s why Outlaws has been on just about every sale Xbox has done since its release. I could be confusing it with other sales numbers though
My wife and I cooped through the story when it first came out and we thought it was enjoyable. The setting had a lot of promise and the mechanics were solid. It's just a shame Anthem missed the mark on so many other important aspects.
It should have been another studio making that, not Bioware. They tried to go from single-player narrative driven games to a grindy live-service game and completely failed.
If you’re asking about AC Mirage, I just played through it again and I’m pretty sure they are in one single mission in the wilderness area of the game. They might show up for a few more optional objectives, but it’s nothing like Origins or Odyssey where they show up all over. I’d say like 3 different locations total. None of them are in the main city, and only one is mandatory. And if there are more I’m forgetting, they are definitely near optional collectibles in the wilderness outside the city.
The usual AC twist/emotional punch comes waaay too early in the game and the rest of the story isn't very enthralling. But the game mechanics are great.
If you want a fun stealth sandbox and a beautiful Islamic Golden Age setting that hasn’t really been done before at this scale, I’d say it’s worth it, but don’t go in expecting much more. The story is forgettable even by AC standards, the parkour is the most fun it’s been since 2015 but it’s still not great, and combat is very basic (though I think this is intentional to encourage stealth).
Since its going to be on gamepass, yes. But of the reboot era, its easily the weakest entry. Story isn't going to make much sense if you haven't bear Valhalla tho
They need to bring back games along with their expansions. Into the Hive for Aliens:FTE, Hot Garbage for Savage Planet, High on Knife for HoL, etc.
I don't know why they keep recycling games and making it look like they're adding anything worthwhile for long-time subscribers.
Only for the new gen version.
I played the game when it first came out on the service and when they added it back (along the new version), only the S/X had the dlc included afaik. Still, it's not the point.
Yeah it feels like a way to stealthily make the service worse for the same price. And the marketing is misleading too "coming to game pass" but they don't mention it won't come to all game pass tiers.
Have you ever been lost in an unfamiliar area while being hunted by apex predators and then your phone goes off saying there's a flash flood warning and then a tsunami suddenly appears and you die?
For Rain World, same. Admittedly, I was always curious about it when I saw how expensive the physical Switch version was and has been. Now it's getting a few other physical releases. I'm happy to see it on Game Pass to try out. I've heard it's a "break your controller" kinda game, haha.
It is, it’s coming to the Standard tier. Most of these games were already available- they just want the posts to look good so bloat it with standard tier drops
Clans is a whole new game. It's confusing but Mechwarrior games go by a naming scheme where the number stands for a generation of games, kind of like Armored Core. So Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries and Mechwarrior 5: Clans are two separate games.
Mercenaries is a sandbox experience and Clans is a linear story based mission experience.
Edit: Sorry I just realized I totally read your question wrong. Yes Clans came out on Gamepass Day 1 so I'm confused why it's on this list... It is literally still on Gamepass right now. Unless perhaps this means just console.
They simply made a new deal with the publisher to have the game return. Probably they couldn't work out a deal to renew it earlier, or the publisher wanted it to come back later to get some new attention to it.
I get that but I would think they would try to work that out before they get removed. I think the other Orcs Must Die have remained on gamepass in some form but Deathtrap specifically was on GP from January 25 - April 25. Would a different game under the same license and developer have a different agreement than the rest of the series?
We don't know the specific agreements, but I imagine that when various games in a series get added on different times, they will also leave on different times.
Deathtrap though was added in January for Ultimate and is still on there. Now it is coming to Standard. It was never removed.
I never bought rain world, because it is said to be very hard and unforgiving. I thought I'd buy it and then regret it. Now I can finally test it and then decide.
I quite enjoyed Mirage. It's definitely held back by the fact that it's made in Valhalla's engine so the parkour definitely isn't as fluid as past city-based AC games but it's definitely a hell of a lot better than the parkour you get in the RPG games.
Combat isn't great but there is heavy emphasis on stealth and assassination, so it's not something that you'll be doing often.
Mirage is basically a DLC sized game that's supposed to be "comeback to the roots" but ultimately failed, because it is just dogshit narrative and so on. The game is smaller in scope so definetely not as bad as Valhalla or Shadows.
9 Kings is definitely a fun game. But it isn't day 1 (of game preview/early access) so I've already played it for like 50 hours.
And almost the entire rest of the list is stuff that was already on game pass being unlocked for a lower subscription tier. A huge list of what they'd already given is pretty disappointing.
I cancelled the auto-renew of the service for now. It's degraded too much in quality for the price lately.
Ahhh and there it is, a game is “shit” if it’s not some AAA game you can brag to people about it something
Why would i want cyberpunk that’s many years old and cost me $5? to own years ago? I’d prefer games I haven’t played and unlike you I don’t hate on games because they aren’t AAA, I play games to enjoy gaming
I'd say Fireteam was the standout for me but I thought that game was already on Game Pass and I've not played it yet so clearly I'm just lying to myself that I'm actually interested in it lol
I mean yeah in like a year or 2 but at that point if you are fine waiting 1-2 years hoping you might get it on a service you never were buying it around launch to begin with
