I have an xbdeals email saying assassin's creed rogue, rabbids party, and rayman legends from my watchlist are free?

I'd love to play through AC Rogue another time. Been on the fence buying it again, but it refuses to drop lower than the $9.xx price range. And with Game Pass offering so many awesome games I never knew(hello Vampire Survivors), its held me back from splurging on Rogue

I'm also not a fan of the new weekly game specific quest. However, the new daily Xbox app quests make up for that. It's another app to log into to get those pennies, but it only takes a minute to do so. It adds up over time and I end up earning more reward points. Two thumbs up from me in regards to Microsoft adjusting the rewards program since the new year started

Saw this too, but nothing is confirmed yet:

Officially announced:

[bobbyblane]

Does Ubisoft+ give you all dlc in the membership?  If so, that will certainly make my purchases of the Gold editions of Valhalla and FC6 a little more bearable

On PC, it does yes. If it does, it should make your Gold purchases more unbearable no?

The catalogue is updated regularly and includes:

Additional content, such as downloadable content (DLCs) and expansions

Access to some premium editions* of games

Invites to some of our beta phases

Limited-time access to a rotating collection of indie games from other developers

 

Content available through Ubisoft+ | Ubisoft Help

 

* Premium editions included with Ubisoft+ may not include all premium content.

Thanks for the feedback.  My main concern is not having Dawn of Ragnarok and the new FC6 expansion included in the Gold editions, and it does look like those will both be included in +.

Saw this too, but nothing is confirmed yet:

Thats cool, but also sucks how much money I have spent on those games.

If you waited a week or two after their release date it should not have been too much.

I Can't think of a single Ubisoft game where I ever wanted to buy day one or even for $30 unless it was some kinda bullshit "Game of the Year" edition.

[FamedGuardian]

I wanted to play Riders Republic without paying for it. I’m glad I didn’t pick it up at launch because that game just disappeared…

[wampler13]

The price of game pass is definitely going up soon. I thought it would around the time Starfield released. Maybe it'll happen sooner. Extend to the three year max while you can.

[awp]

I’m expecting Ubisoft+ to be a separate subscription and not part of GamePass. And I know I won’t be subbing to it. Ubisoft games are notorious for dropping in price quickly anyway.

I mean they said it would be separate (maybe it will be integrated at some point when Ubisoft realises that there won't be many subscribers witht hat price point). aside from the fast dropping prices, there is always a Ubisoft every (two) weeks anyway..like the games go on sale all the time with the same discounts as well lol. So really no need to get the subscription. The only benefit I see is to maybe play a game you really want with 1 month trial or so, And then never look back...

Ubisoft actually had a press release today announcing strategy changes due to financial issues (three unannounced games cancelled, Skull & Bones delayed again). Surprised they didn’t use the opportunity to announce Ubisoft+ on Xbox as a positive to counter the bad news.

[GamerSavage]

I don’t know how this will affect the Forza Horizon games going forward. It will be interesting to see what happens.

A Subscription service being offered on XBox isn't going to be helping the $500 million plus in losses for the fiscal year. So no reason to bother after that heavy bombshell.

 

Also Skull and Bones delayed AGAIN? I Can't even imagine with all the financial incentives they got for opening a studio in Singapore for that game that they're going to be seeing any profit from it.

How dare you imply that the five subscribers at $4.99 a month on Xbox won’t help bail out Ubisoft!!!

What announcing Ubisoft+ for XBox then announcing the losses for the year along with more delays immediately look like.

 

 

Also this kinda makes me understand their dick head move of putting an MSRP on their "Complete" edition of Far Cry 6 to be $120 while also adding a bullshit expansion not in the season pass. I'm not a fan of it, but I get it.

Seemed like FH5 was a copy and paste of FH4 so doubt much will be lost. As for the new studio, I don't get involved in studio drama. Show me the games.

FYI, the time-consuming weekly GP quest worth 250 points can be done super quick using this guide:

 

[Z-Saber]

Nice try, but you're not going to trick me into actually playing games!

[bhk]

I bought the complete edition of Valhalla in the last sale.

I’ll live I guess.

You still have a chance to get a refund if you haven't played a lot of it (less than 2 hours?)

So I took advantage of that Apple TV+ GPU perk afaik there were only like 5 series worth watching, aside from Ted Lasso what were the other ones?

The way I have been using the free or $1 Ubisoft+ trials on PC is basically binging the DLCs. I got through AC Syndicate/Origins and Watch Dogs Legion (the AC games I beat a few years back and I don't even own the base game for WD Legion but the DLC is actually good)

[Kromis]

Severance is the big one. The rest I have no idea. It's only those two I know off the top of my head.

Mystic Quest and Servant are decent

 

also The Morning Show is popular

[briandadude]

I watched most of them and enjoyed them. Defending Jacob, Trying, Severance, the Timberlake movie.

Ted Lasso is great, yep. Mythic Quest as others have said is decent, depends on your type of humor I think. I enjoyed the first season but some of it was a bit rough to get through. I really enjoyed Dickinson as well, but that's probably not for everybody (it's really enjoyable and well done, though).
