Xbox is adding 13 Ubisoft games to its console-to-PC program, offering free PC access to players who own these titles on Xbox, as announced on Xbox Wire and reported by PC Gamer.
Starting today, purchasing a digital version of any listed game on Xbox grants access to both the Xbox and “Xbox on PC” versions. Existing owners will receive the PC version through a progressive rollout starting on August 4th.
The program is one-way; Purchasing the PC version of these games does not grant access to the Xbox version.
Ubisoft games added to Xbox’s PC program
The Ubisoft titles added to the console-to-PC program 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 & 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, both the Xbox and Xbox PC versions are available when you purchase the digital version of any listed game on Xbox. Existing owners will receive the PC version during a progressive rollout starting on August 4th.
There are two important notes. First of all, currencies and consumables from the Xbox version do not transfer to the PC version. However, if a game supports cross-progression, progress from the Xbox version will carry over to the PC. Second, the program is one-directional; Purchasing the PC version does not grant access to the Xbox version.
How to claim PC version
Xbox owners of the listed games should follow these steps to claim and play the PC version:
- Confirm that you have a digital Xbox version of one of the 13 listed games, as the offer only applies to digital copies.
- Install the latest version of Ubisoft Connect from Ubisoft.com, as it is required to access the PC versions.
- For new purchases, both versions are available starting today.
- For already owned games, access to the PC version will begin with a progressive rollout on August 4.
- Check if each game supports cross-progression to determine if your Xbox progress will transfer to PC, as currencies and consumables do not transfer.
The offer is available today for new digital purchases, while the rollout for existing owners will begin on August 4. Xbox has said that the rollout will be progressive, so not all eligible players will receive the PC version at once.
Xbox has not indicated how long the rollout will last or whether more Ubisoft titles will be added to the program.
