Ubisoft and Xbox have revealed a new expansion to their ongoing partnership, giving Xbox owners free PC access to a wide selection of major Ubisoft titles. Starting immediately, players who own specific games on Xbox will receive those same titles for free on PC through Ubisoft Connect, provided the offer is redeemed by August 4, 2026.
Quick Facts
- Deadline: August 4, 2026 to claim via Ubisoft Connect.
- Requirement: Linked Xbox and Ubisoft accounts; games appear in the PC library within a week.
- Policy: Buying games on Xbox grants PC copies automatically, but purchasing on PC does not grant Xbox copies.
- Additional Updates: Premium editions of games like Assassin's Creed Shadows have been added to Xbox's PC app.
Eligible Ubisoft Games for Xbox and PC
Players who own any of the following titles on Xbox will see them added to their Ubisoft Connect PC libraries:
- Assassin’s Creed Mirage
- Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
- Far Cry 6
- Immortals Fenyx Rising
- Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
- Riders Republic
- Skull and Bones
- The Crew 2
- The Crew Motorfest
- Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction
- Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
According to the announcement, future purchases made on Xbox will also automatically grant the respective PC version. However, the benefit remains strictly one-way: buying a title on PC first does not unlock the console version.
Broader PC Integration and Rumors
Alongside the free game distribution, Ubisoft has added multiple premium editions for titles like Assassin's Creed Shadows to the Xbox PC app. This move arrives amid a broader series of PC-focused updates from Microsoft. Last week, select backward-compatible original Xbox titles became available on PC featuring new features and achievements, with more expected down the line.
Industry reports have also pointed to potential future features allowing players to digitize physical game libraries, alongside rumors regarding a more PC-like next-generation Xbox console. While it remains unconfirmed whether all of these developments are part of a singular deliberate strategy, the current initiatives point toward tighter cross-platform synergy between Xbox and PC ecosystems.
