Ubisoft+ – Ubisoft's subscription service – might be offered as part of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass.

The rumour has been bubbling around for a few days now – I first saw it before Christmas – but at the time, it hadn't been substantiated by any notable sources and was𝓀 loosely grouped in a bigger collection of speculative Xbox "rumours".

Now, however, Windows Central editor Jez Corden has acknowledged the rumour "has a strong chance of ♐being true based on stuff [they'd] heard", which reportedly states Ubisoft will join the service in late 2021. 

"I've seen rumours about๊ Ubisoft Uplay+ joining Xbox Game Pass Ultimate," Corden recently tweeted (thanks, ). "I think this has a strong🀅 chance of being true, based on stuff I've heard.

"I imagine it would be a vault or smaller slice of older games, but crazier things have happened," t﷽hey added. "I always thought EA Play would be an extra tier of Game Pass, but they just rolled that bad boy right in. Guess we'll see."

Like EA's EA Play, Ubisoft+ offers players unlimited ac😼cess ꧒to a large library of new and old Ubisoft games, although Ubisoft+ also includes day-one access to new releases. The monthly subscription currently costs $14.99/£12.99.

Right now we can only take the news as precisely what it is – a rumour – and even if it is true, reports suggest the partnership ꦗwill come later rather than sooner, reportedly sometime around holiday 2021. 

EA Play joined the console version of Xbox Game Pass in time for the launch of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series S. EA Play was also expected to join Xbox Game Pass on PC in December, but Microsoft now says it needs more time 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"to ensure a great experience for everyone". EA Play's arrival on Xbox Game Pass for PC is now set for some time in 2021 and Micr♛osoft says it will have more info to share early next year.

In related news, Sony's Jim Ryan recently hinted that PlayStation may have a response to Xbox Game Pass in the works. Speaking to press earlier this month, Ryan was asked how Sony plans to respond to Microsoft's Game Pass initiative and replied: "There is actually news to come, but just not today. We have PlayStation Now which is our subscription servic𝓰e, and that is available in a number of markets."

In October, we learned that more than 15 million people now subscribe to Xbox Game Pass. That was up 50 per cent in just about five months, as the service only surpassed 10 million subscribers back in April. Microsoft released the new figure for Xbox Game Pass subscriber numbers in the same press release where it announced its acquisition of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bethesda parent company ZeniMax

With the announcement that future Bethesda titles are coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one, including 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Elder Scrolls 6, and the roll out of it's next-gen systems, it's un✃likely Xbox G🐻ame Pass' growth is about to start slowing down now.

Here are our picks of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Xbox Game Pass games.
