Ubisoft +

[naednek]

They are running a deal for 1 year of ubisoft+ premium for $134.99 It's basically 4 months free.

Trying to decide if I want to bite the bullet to have more access to games, but knowing I won't renew and lose said access, or if I should just buy Star Wars Outlaws to own.

Anyone have any experiences with ubisoft +?

Dont know anything about Ubi+ but I own Star Wars Outlaws....just waiting.

I've had Ubisoft+ for years, after the recent (last year?) change my subscription is now called "UBISOFT+ PC ACCESS", $14.99/month, which includes:

• Play 100+ games on PC with Ubisoft Connect
• Access to premium editions *
• Play new releases on day one
• 10% discount on virtual currency packs
• Unique monthly rewards
• New Indie games added monthly

* Where premium or special editions of the game are indicated (for example: Ultimate/Gold/Deluxe Editions), editions included in Ubisoft+ may not include all premium content. Please check each game page on the Ubisoft Store for more information on the availability of premium content in Ubisoft+. Offer subject to change.

I've been very happy with the service, haven't experienced any issues with connectivity, downloading games, etc. I don't play as many Ubisoft games as I used to but with AC Shadows and the new Star Wars game coming up I'll keep the service.

For the games I've been playing I've not noticed any Premium content that wasn't included, but then that might be just chance.

The Premium service, $17.99/month says it includes this:

• Play 100+ games on PC
• New releases Day 1 & early access when available
• Most premium editions and DLC content *
• 20% discount on games and DLCs, 10% off virtual currencies
• Monthly game rewards
• Play on Cloud with Luna
• Play on Xbox

* Where premium or special editions of the game are indicated (for example: Ultimate/Gold/Deluxe Editions), editions included in Ubisoft+ may not include all premium content. Please check each game page on the Ubisoft Store for more information on the availability of premium content in Ubisoft+. Offer subject to change.

I haven't found any reason to spend the extra three bucks a month to upgrade to Premium, so I'm sticking with PC Access. If I went to a yearly plan I'd save 17%. And the deal you quote also sounds good.

Here's an image of the plans page I see:

ya, it looks like they got rid of your plan for new users

It looked like it might actually be useful, but when I reviewed my library I pretty much own everything they've published. So paying $135 to play Star Wars Outlaws (and presumably AC: Shadows) didn't really seem like as great deal. Maybe I missed something, but I didn't really see games I didn't already own or wanted to play. If I wasn't such a goon and purchased everything when it's on sale, maybe it would be a much better deal as I could imagine really enjoying a few games for the first time (again) while waiting for Outlaws to come out next month.

[Rumpy]

Yeah, that seems quite high. No way I'd be paying that per month, and it'd be even higher in CDN $, which would add up to abotu $30 a month. It feels like they're out of touch with what most gamers would be able to pay.

The Canadian price for Classics is $9.99/month or $99.99/year (current offer for $75.99/year) and for Premium it's $19.99/month or $199.99/year (current offer for $149.99/year). The discounted offer for the 12-month subs expires on 11 July.

The discounted 12-month Premium sub is tempting. In addition to SWO, I'm interested in AC Shadows, AC Mirage, Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary, and Avatar, at a minumum. The price for SWO Ultimate is $169.99, so in theory I'd get a lot more value from Ubisoft+ than in purchasing one game at launch.

[Max Peck]

And... I pulled the trigger on the $150 for 12 months deal today. That's less than I'd have paid for the ultimate version, so it's arguably the fiscally responsible option -- or the least bad one, if you're really down on the price. I guess it depends on whether I'm still playing SW:O this time next year and have to either renew the Ubi+ sub or buy the game to continue.

Avatar is already downloaded and ready to go...

I picked the deal up last week. There are quite a few assassin's creed titles I don't own, plus the new SW, and the new AC so it's worth it for me. Just started Black Flag and liking it so far.
