Rumours of Ubisoft+ Joining Xbox Game Pass Continue to Stir

Following a prediction from Jez Corden, tech journalist with strong ties to Microsoft and Xbox, rumours have continued to circulate about Ubisoft+, the company's paid game subscription scheme, being bundled in with Game Pass Ultimate. 

Kicked off by a tweet from Corden himself (found below), the rumours were quickly picked up by numerous outlets, who went on to use the recent EA Play (formerly EA Access) and Game Pass partnership as evidence of the rumour's plausibility.

I imagine it would be a vault or smaller slice of older games, but crazier things have happened. I always thought EA Play would be an extra tier of Game Pass, but they just rolled that bad boy right in. Guess we'll see.

Ubisoft+ subscribers currently enjoy unlimited access to Ubisoft's entire library of games, including brand new releases, DLC and any season passes. It's possible that, should the service join the Game Pass lineup, new Ubisoft releases will omitted, similar to how EA Play handles its new releases on Game Pass.

Still, nothing has been confirmed as of yet, but Ubisoft+ has hardly taken the world by storm, and so it stands to reason that the success of EA Play within the Game Pass ecosystem would turn some heads over at Ubisoft.
