Ubisoft+ changes name and announces new, cheaper membership

Ubisoft announced that will make adjustments to its subscription service Ubisoft+. The French publisher decided to change the name of its main plan to Ubisoft+ Premium and introduced new category with classic games for PC users. The latter would eliminate and limit access to new releases, forcing consumers to pay more.

The company took advantage of the early launch Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown to open Ubisoft+ settings. Plan Multi-access will be renamed Ubisoft+ Premium. and will provide early and release day access to new games and limited editions. This tier also includes an Xbox membership so users can play games like Far Cry 6, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Avatar: Pandora’s Frontier and more.

Ubisoft+ Premium costs €18/MXN 279 per month., keeping the previous subscription price unchanged. If you don’t want to pay for this level and are only interested in accessing new games from your computer, we have bad news. Ubisoft has removed the PC access plan that included the entire catalog, including launch games and DLC.

Instead he now offers Ubisoft+ Classics is a curated selection of 50 games.. This membership will cost €7.99 / MXN 129 per month and includes standard editions of classic games and popular franchises that will be playable through Ubisoft Connect. PC users will pay almost half of the previous plan, although they will miss the launch of the game.

Ubisoft stated that the change will only affect new users. PC Access subscribers will keep their €15 plan until they decide to cancel or upgrade to another tier.

Ubisoft+ will lose one of its best features

New Ubisoft+ Plans Coming is getting rid of one of its best PC deals– Play the latest games during their release. If you want this option, you will have to pay an additional 3 euros to access the Premium level. The company responded to criticism basic level, which costs almost half PC Access, but this loses the attractive component.

“When we look at the results, players really enjoy our previous games and get hooked when they sign up. So, we saw an opportunity to create a service specifically based on this catalog,” said Philippe Tremblay, Director of Subscriptions at Ubisoft. “We think it’s a good value for the price and the catalog will expand as we continue to add games over time.”

The appearance of Ubisoft+ Classics may be anti-cancellation measure. Some users tend to pay for a month of service to get access to new releases such as Assassin’s Creed Mirage or Motofestival “Crew” and then cancel them. Tremblay said that The company’s goal is to create valueand the early game offering or Activision Blizzard’s catalog would be an advantage for players to stick around.

Regarding the latter, Ubisoft did not provide specific details. Let’s remember that Microsoft gave up some of the rights to Activision games in order to offer them on Ubisoft+. The move was key to gaining regulatory approval in the UK and Europe.
