Ubisoft+ Coming To Xbox And Rainbow Six Extraction Launching On Xbox Game Pass

Ubisoft announces its subscription service is coming to Xbox in the future and that the latest Rainbow Six game will be available on Xbox Game Pass and for PC Game Pass members from day one.

Ubisoft+ coming too in the future.

 

[Hosam6xavi]

First big AAA game of the year and it's day 1 on gamepass

Best subscription service and it keeps getting better and better

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Dont forget to check the GP thread in the Communities thread gamers.

Mass Effect Legendary is coming this month too.

 

[Chukhopops]

Already quite a lot of coop shooters on the market, guess it makes sense for Ubi like it did for Back 4 Blood and Outriders. Guarantees a bit of initial player base, hopefully the game is good enough to carry on from there.

 

[Punished Miku]

The last one I played was Rainbow Six on N64.

Who wants to be on my team?

How can it be AAA when it’s 40$? GTA Online E&E is coming day 1 on PS Plus which has way more hype and is going to be more active.

 

[splattered]

Ubisoft+ finally! This is pretty big news.. sweet!

 

[reksveks]

hmm, very confused at the moment, re-reading stuff.

 

[TheMan]

I completely forgot this game existed- it fell off my radar once hte alien shit was revealed. But since it's free might as well give a whirl

 

[Dane]

Another hit from Grubb.

 

[cormack12]

I'll try it because it's on gamepass but I gotta be honest we were all dumping on this when it was revealed. Hopefully it will be a fun co op shooter to add to the pile. I think gamepass makes sense for this because I don't think there's any hype or excitement for it.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Considering how passionless and rough this looks, this was probably a very good decision on their part.

 

[Jose92]

Bomba before release i guess, Preorder numbers were so low they tried making it cheaper now letting be on gamepass day 1.

 

[adamsapple]

 

[LordCBH]

Sadly it doesn’t make this game look any less shit.

 

[Godot25]

Yeah. That's exactly the price that is suited for this game...

More interesting announcement was Ubi+ going to the Xbox. I wonder if Microsoft struck EA Play like deal that stripped down version of Ubi+ will be bundled in Game Pass Ultimate.

 

[Calverz]

That’s a huge get for sure. Xbox doing everything right.

 

[Hendrick's]

Where's Valhalla? I figured with the recent fire sale it was due to hit the service soon.

 

[Snake29]

That’s a huge get for sure. Xbox doing everything right.

Huge? There is a reason why no one cares for this game. It would be huge if the service gets third party AAA games, people care about but that’s not the deal for this service in general.

 

[Nikana]

The gift that keeps on giving.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Yeah game doesn't look appealing to me so I wasn't planning to cave but nice to have it now anyway. Perhaps its great fun against all odds.

 

[EverydayBeast]

That’s how gamepass works you negotiate a big AAA game gamers go “holy shit” and subscribe

 

[Lognor]

Cool! Never played one of these Rainbow Six games. Is this like Call of Duty?

 

[adamsapple]

I reckon since there's no immediate Xbox studio game coming in the next few months, they're gonna wanna secure a few more day 1 releases to compensate.

STALKER 2 is a big day 1 release coming out in a few months too.

 

[R6Rider]

Cool! Never played one of these Rainbow Six games. Is this like Call of Duty?

Not in the slightest beyond it being an FPS. Even then Siege is better than Extraction by far, unless you only like playing against AI. Honestly it feels like an overpriced mode add on to Siege that was obviously made after Operation Outbreak.

Played the most recent test of the game and it's pretty lackluster. Didn't help that they had code watermarked on the entire screen which made it nearly impossible to see let alone causing headaches.

 

[CatLady]

Nice way to start off the new year. Game Pass makes me happy I'm an Xbox fangirl

 

[Papacheeks]

I thought it said Ubisoft+ coming to gamepass. But its just coming to Xbox service wise. I would have to believe only a matter of time before Ubisoft+ makes a deal for Gamepass.

Yeah everything about it looks like a Zombie mode in any given CoD game. They could release it as an add on for Siege I reckon.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

wow, I was 100% going to buy this and give the buddy pass to some friends to convince them to buy it as well

 

[Jigsaah]

Dude...Gamepass membership should come with a black ski mask, bolt cutters and a lockpicking kit. I feel like I'm robbing the industry with how much we get with gamepass.

Now Rainbow Six too...THIS MONTH?

 

[Werewolfgrandma]

Looks alright. Will try it if I still have GP active.

 

[Chukhopops]

Huge? There is a reason why no one cares for this game. It would be huge if the service gets third party AAA games, people care about but that’s not the deal for this service in general.

There’s Total War Warhammer 3 coming in February, guess that’s also not AAA third party because reasons.

Where's Valhalla? I figured with the recent fire sale it was due to hit the service soon.

I don’t think they will bring it since they never brought any AC game as far as I can tell.

 

[Edgelord79]

Ubisoft+ is a bigger deal than Rainbow Six. So now GamePass will have EA Play and Ubisoft+ included. That's pretty incredible value if true. I know Karak has hinted at this on his podcasts.

There's going to be a lot of sodium chloride thrown around the day this happens.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I don’t think they will bring it since they never brought any AC game as far as I can tell.

AC Syndicate was free with gold, so were ac chronicles china/india/russia; it's not out of the realm of possibility.

Merci.

*laughs in MLB The Show*

 

[jaysius]

Smart, it'll give it half a chance to have some small playerbase. This might be the dumbest thing Ubi has done in a long time. The event that this is derived from isn't even LOVED that much, it's not hated, but nobody is CRYING OUT for it.

Hopefully you'll be able to earn R6 bananabucks in the game, then it'll get a few people.

 

[NonPhixion]

This PVE game should be a lot of fun for a day. Glad its on gamepass. The Ubisoft+ coming xbox news is less exciting. No one wants to pay $15-20 a month for that. haha

 

[twilo99]

wow, I was 100% going to buy this and give the buddy pass to some friends to convince them to buy it as well

If you are already paying for gamepass, learn this now, DO NOT buy games until you are sure its not coming to the service. I wanted to buy like 10 games but just waited it out and they are all on there now.. still waiting for Cyberpunk but its probably coming soon. Had to buy CoD because we know that's never coming to GP.

Steam lost all of my business thanks to pc game pass..

 

[Halo is Back]

I will give it a chance since it's on GP because there was no way in hell I was gonna buy it.

 

[Danteyke223]

I played the NDA closed beta. Well tried because Ubisoft decided to cover the entire screen with text to avoid footage. Yeah this was pretty much waiting to be announced after me and my friends played it. Not a lot of people liked this game, the price tag even slashed down to 40 USD was an abysmal offering. The gameplay was fucking horrible beyond belief, with kind of a dumb AI, a shitty revive system, and just all in all boring ideas.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Well, that's the January game for Game Pass.

Wonder what the February Game Pass game is.

 

[adamsapple]

Well, that's the January game for Game Pass.

I would absolutely love it if Dying Light 2 is Game Pass day 1 (probably highly unlikely).

 

[elliot5]

After not having a cash flow from NFTs those struggling devs may need to take a game pass deal /s

 

[ManaByte]

First big AAA game of the year and it's day 1 on gamepass

Best subscription service and it keeps getting better and better

 

[Kagey K]

How can it be AAA when it’s 40$? GTA Online E&E is coming day 1 on PS Plus which has way more hype and is going to be more active.

So go make a fucking thread about it instead of derailing this one.

Huge? There is a reason why no one cares for this game. It would be huge if the service gets third party AAA games, people care about but that’s not the deal for this service in general.

It's going to have more attention & day one players now, than it would have without this deal.

 

[MonarchJT]

you can do 40 1$ gamepass with that 40$ think at it!!!!

 

[adamsapple]

So Miles Morales also isn't AAA cause it's not full price, right ?

check out the logic brains over here

 

[DaGwaphics]

That came out of nowhere. I assumed ME:LE was doing the heavy lifting this month. That combined with this, another amazing month for GP.
