Xbox adds 13 Ubisoft titles to PC lineup

Xbox is expanding its “Xbox on PC” initiative by adding thirteen Ubisoft titles, allowing players who buy a digital copy on Xbox to also download the PC version at no extra cost.
List of games and rollout schedule
The new lineup includes Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, 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 and Watch Dogs Legion. Starting today, a fresh digital purchase of any of these games on Xbox automatically grants access to both the console and PC editions. Existing owners will receive the PC version through a progressive rollout that begins on August 4.
The rollout is described as “progressive,” meaning not every eligible player will obtain the PC version at the same time. The company has not disclosed the duration of the rollout or whether additional Ubisoft titles will join the program later.
How to claim the PC versions
To claim a PC copy, users must first verify that they own a digital Xbox version of one of the listed titles. The offer does not apply to physical discs or non‑digital licenses. Next, they need to install the latest Ubisoft Connect client, which is required to launch the PC games. For new purchases, both versions are available immediately. For those who already own a qualifying title, the PC version will become accessible after the rollout start.

Players should also check whether a game supports cross‑progression. If it does, progress made on the Xbox edition will carry over to the PC version, though in‑game currencies and consumables will not transfer.
It is a one‑way only program. Buying the PC version of any of these games does not provide access to the Xbox edition.
Xbox’s move aligns with a broader industry trend of offering cross‑platform benefits, while others may have more limited support.
From a practical standpoint, the addition of these titles could make a noticeable difference for gamers who prefer a PC setup but have already invested in Xbox purchases. The ability to switch platforms without repurchasing content reduces friction for players who split their time between living rooms and desks.

It also offers a smoother entry point for those considering a transition to PC gaming but who are hesitant due to cost concerns.
As the rollout proceeds, owners should monitor the progress of their specific game through the Xbox app or the Ubisoft Connect client. No plans have been announced to extend the offer to other publishers or to include additional Ubisoft releases beyond the current list.
The program provides a clear benefit to existing digital owners while maintaining the traditional separation between console and PC ecosystems. This initiative highlights Xbox’s ongoing strategy to keep its library appealing across multiple platforms, without altering the pricing structure for new buyers.
