The Ubisoft Store appears to have leaked a placeholder image revealing, presumably, an EA Access-style subscription service.
As reported by VG247, a Resetera user spotted the image that was briefly live on the Ubisoft Store, and it appears to out a previously unannounced service called Ubisoft Pass.
Although entirely unconfirmed, Ubisoft Pass certainly sounds like a subscription service. Additionally, the word “Premium” leads to speculation that we may even see a tiered service with different levels of access. This wouldn’t be surprising, considering that Ubisoft typically launches its new game titles with a myriad of special editions.
In the current climate of Disney+, Google Stadia and with next gen around the corner, it would not be at all odd to see Ubisoft offer a subscription package, especially when you take into account how many long running franchises it has. Assassin’s Creed, Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, and Rayman all have multiple sequels spanning multiple generations. So, Ubisoft has more than enough content to fill a service with. The real question is, what would it cost?
