Xbox Game Pass has already received a major upgrade this year, adding EA Play to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions on top of any games that are routinely added, and if a new rumor emerges as people hope it will, it might another subscription. to look forward to next year. New rumor of Xbox Game Pass plans for 2021 suggests that the Ubisoft + service that gives people instant access to over 100 Ubisoft games for a flat rate will also be added to Xbox Game Pass, likely through the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate plans like EA Play was.
Rumors that Xbox Game Pass has rolled Ubisoft + subscriptions into the package circulated online this week, with many citing the Xbox Worlds site as the source. While the rumor may have been entertained in forums and other discussions, Xbox Worlds has included it in a list of the biggest alleged Xbox rumors currently circulating.
That alone isn’t much to reinforce the rumor, as theories like this one often float around discussion boards and forums, but others have weighed in to make the rumor more likely now. Windows Central’s Jez Corden, who has a good track record of news about Windows and Xbox, said he believes there is a “high probability” that the rumors are valid based on what he has heard.
I’ve seen rumors that Ubisoft Uplay + is joining Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
I think this has a good chance of being true, based on things I’ve heard.

I imagine it would be a vault or smaller portion of older games, but crazier things have happened. I always thought EA Play was going to be an extra level of Game Pass, but they just rolled that bad boy into it. I think we’ll see.

The point that Ubisoft + may be adding a smaller selection of games to Xbox Game Pass instead of the entire vault is one that has been suggested online alongside the original rumor. Considering how many games Ubisoft offers through the service and how it gets new Ubisoft releases at launch, much like Xbox Game Pass does with first-party games, that would make many Xbox owners much less likely to get on the first. day to buy new Ubisoft releases. However, EA Play works the same way as both services and was included in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions without reservation, so there’s always a chance the same thing could happen with Ubisoft + next year.
