Ahead of the launch of its UPlay+ service, Ubisoft has just revealed some big news for Google Stadia players. Later this year, a huge backlog of games from the Assassin’s Creed, Watch Dogs, and Far Cry series will be making their way to Stadia.
Update 11/3: The first of Ubisoft’s new games heading to Stadia have just been released! Far Cry 5 and Far Cry: New Dawn are now available for purchase on the Stadia store. The standard pricing for these two games matches that of other platforms. Far Cry 5 costs $59.99 for the base game and $89.99 for the “Ultimate Edition,” but Pro members get a discount of $11.99 and $17.99 respectively.
Far Cry: New Dawn costs $39.99 for the base game and $49.99 for the “Deluxe Edition,” but those are also discounted for Pro members to $11.99 and $14.99.
Our original coverage follows.
In a blog post today, Google confirmed that Ubisoft will be bringing eight of its older releases to Stadia in the not-too-distant future. There’s no specific release date, but they’ll apparently arrive sometime around the holidays.
Which games are arriving? Here’s the full list.
- Watch Dogs
- Watch Dogs 2
- Assassin’s Creed Origins
- Assassin’s Creed Syndicate
- Assassin’s Creed Unity
- Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands
- Far Cry New Dawn
- Far Cry 5
These are coming in addition to three new Ubisoft titles. Watch Dogs: Legion is set to arrive on October 29 while Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is coming November 10. Far Cry 6 will then arrive in February 2021.
Ubisoft is set to bring new games from your favorite franchises to Stadia, including adventures within the worlds of Far Cry, Watch Dogs, Ghost Recon, and Assassin’s Creed. That means the ability to experience crowd favorites like Watch Dogs 2, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, or Far Cry 5 across all your favorite devices when they arrive on the Stadia store starting in Holiday 2020.
These added games likely come in preparation for the $14.99 Ubisoft UPlay+ bundle, which we’ve seen more and more evidence of. The games will also be available for purchase outside of that monthly subscription. Most likely, they’ll follow the same pricing as other platforms.
