Why Xbox Game Pass should bring in Ubisoft+ Classics, given delay of Starfield

sportskeeda.com:

Ubisoft+ was announced at the start of 2022 as all the current games released by the French publishing house are available for a bargain monthly rate. The system essentially works the same way as the Xbox Game Pass, but the monthly rates and roster of games are vastly different.

Ubisoft has also announced Ubisoft+ Classics, a smaller and more specially curated list of the titles available on its main service. Judging by recent developments, Xbox makes a strong case to add the Classics section to its service.

Since its release, Xbox Game Pass has grown globally as players appreciate access to the full roster. Unlike traditional methods, gamers don't have to spend a fortune to purchase titles individually. Perhaps more importantly, players get immediate access to day one releases. However, 2022 hasn't looked like a highly successful year thus far, which could be why Xbox is thinking outside the box.

It was widely expected that the first half of 2022 would be a dry spell for Xbox as all its significant releases were scheduled for the second. Much of it would have depended on Redfall and Starfield, which have been hotly anticipated. Unfortunately, both the Bethesda titles have been officially postponed to early 2023.

This means that 2022 will be an extremely barren period for first-party releases. While it might not be detrimental for the gaming giants, there could be a problem with the growth of the Xbox Game Pass. After all, the first-part exclusives released on day one are a major USP of it, and things don't look too positive in this regard.

It's unrealistic to expect that Xbox Game Pass will be adding Ubisoft+ like it has managed to do with EA Play. Ubisoft's services will be coming to Xbox but will need to be subscribed
