Xbox Gamers Purchasing Select Ubisoft Games Will Now Get the PC Version for Free

Ubisoft is offering Xbox gamers a new initiative where players who own or purchase select Ubisoft games through the Microsoft Store will receive a complimentary PC version via the Ubisoft Connect launcher. This offer includes 13 titles: 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 July 21, customers who purchase a digital version of any of these titles will gain immediate access to both the Xbox console and Xbox on PC digital versions. Existing owners of the digital versions on Xbox will receive the PC counterpart between July 21 and August 4. This offer is distinct from Microsoft's Xbox Play Anywhere program, as it does not provide cross-save or cross-progression capabilities. Season Passes and add-on content purchased on Xbox are expected to transfer to the PC version, but in-game currencies and consumables will not be included. Additionally, Ubisoft is expanding the availability of its games through the Xbox app on PC, with new additions likely accessible via the Ubisoft Connect app.

Xbox Exec Explains How Project Helix Will Bridge the Xbox/PC Game Development Gap

Microsoft has unveiled the alpha version of its new console hardware for Project Helix at the Game Developers Conference (GDC). Project Helix aims to eliminate the boundaries between console and PC gaming, allowing the new Xbox consoles to support both Xbox and PC games. Chris Carla, the general manager of portfolio and programs at Xbox, explained that developers will be able to create a single game build that works across multiple platforms, including PC, Project Helix, and Xbox Cloud Gaming. This approach resembles the previous universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps and the Xbox Play Anywhere initiative, which allowed cross-platform functionality. Carla advised developers to focus on creating Xbox console and PC versions to prepare for the next generation. He suggested that PC developers might find it more efficient to start with the PC build before optimizing for Project Helix. There are concerns about whether developers will be incentivized to create native Project Helix games if existing PC titles run well on the new console. Microsoft has not yet clarified its online multiplayer paywall policy for Project Helix games.
