It looks like Ubisoft is following the path of EA Play and testing the water with Xbox Game Pass and also launching Rainbow Six Extraction Day One on a subscription service. Ubisoft Plus is a subscription service from the French video game company that offers a large selection of games from the publisher, as well as monthly rewards, DLC expansions, a season pass, and more.
Ubisoft has confirmed that the service will soon be available on Xbox Game Pass, in much the same way that EA Play is available on the service. By subscribing to Game Pass, players will automatically have access to Ubisoft Plus games on the service. In addition, Rainbow Six Extraction will be part of the first day of the Xbox and PC Game Pass.
Xbox Game Pass gets Ubisoft Plus and Rainbow Six Extraction on day one
Rainbow Six Extraction is a PvE co-op shooter that allows players to team up with up to 3 other players/friends against clusters of a mysterious alien presence on Earth. There will be a total of 18 operators to choose from, allowing squads to have a huge variety of gameplay and characters.
“By making Rainbow Six Extraction available to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass members on the day and date of its launch through Xbox Game Pass, we demonstrate that we believe in the value and choice that game subscriptions offer players,” said Chris Early, Sr. Ubisoft Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Business Development. “Rainbow Six Extraction for Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass members is just the beginning. Ultimately, we will be offering the Ubisoft+ Subscription Service to Xbox owners so they can enjoy the full experience of our Ubisoft+ game library, including new releases, on their consoles.”
Perhaps this indicates that Rainbow Six Extraction is just the first of many games that will eventually be available on Xbox Game Pass on Day 1.
