Unlock 13 Ubisoft games free on PC via Xbox ownership

For many gamers, owning a fantastic game on console is only half the story. The other half involves the tantalizing desire to experience that world on a PC—without needing to break the bank on extra purchases. Well, hold onto your controllers, because Ubisoft is about to deliver a little piece of that dream, offering an exciting pathway for Xbox owners to bridge the gap between console and desktop.

Ubisoft has officially announced an “Xbox console-to-PC” program, designed to bring a select group of its popular titles to PC players. This initiative allows users who own specific games on their Xbox console to gain access to the PC versions, offering incredible flexibility for those who juggle multiple gaming platforms.

Which games are getting this cross-platform treatment? The list features some heavy hitters that promise immersive experiences whether you play them on a living room television or a high-performance desktop. Among the titles slated for this migration are:

• 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
• Watch Dogs Legion

The rollout is designed to be straightforward: if you purchase a digital version of any of these titles on Xbox, you gain access to both the console and PC versions. For existing owners, emulation for PC versions will become available shortly after the initial launch.

However, as with any cross-platform deal, there are a few important details to keep in mind. While the games are accessible across platforms, currencies and in-game consumables purchased on the Xbox version of the game will not be transferred to the PC versions. If a game supports cross-progression mechanics, earned items from your Xbox play will carry over seamlessly to your PC.

It is crucial to remember that this is a one-way street: purchasing the PC version of any of these games will not grant access to the Xbox edition. To fully engage with these new PC experiences, players will need to ensure they have the latest version of Ubisoft Connect installed, which can be found on ubisoft.com.

With the progressive rollout period scheduled to begin on August 4th, gamers who own these specific titles on Xbox are set to unlock a fantastic opportunity for broader access and expanded gaming horizons. It’s time to jump into these worlds, wherever you choose to play them!
