Ubisoft+ on PC Gets Two New Subscription Tiers Focusing on New Releases and Older Titles
Ubisoft has announced major changes to its Ubisoft+ subscription service. Coinciding with the early access release of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, the company has announced that it is renaming its subscription plans.
Ubisoft+ will now have two more tiers of subscription, dubbed Ubisoft+ Premium ($17.99 per month) and Ubisoft+ Classics on PC ($7.99 per month). The premium tier will allow subscribers to play new Ubisoft games on day one of releases, as well as early access releases. The service also gives players access to premium additions and monthly awards.
Ubisoft+ Classics on PC, on the other hand, is more focused on the history of the company, and will offers players the ability to play a curated catalogue of classic Ubisoft titles as well as live service games.
Ubisoft’s director of subscription, Philippe Tremblay, explains the difference between the two new subscription plans in the announcement.
“Premium means day one access to new releases and in some cases, like Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, early access to upcoming new releases,” he explains. “This is on top of our extensive back catalog, where you’ll have access to premium editions, DLC, and monthly rewards.”
Ubisoft+ Classics will feature games like Far Cry 6 and Watch Dogs: Legion, as well as live service titles like Rainbow Six Siege. The catalogue is slated to grow over time, and will be included as part of PlayStation Plus Extra and PlayStation Plus Premium for console players.
It is worth noting that current subscribers to Ubisoft+ PC Access won’t see any changes to their subscription, and their services and monthly price will remain the same. Interestingly, Ubisoft also has an agreement with Activision Blizzard to bring its games to the service down the line.
