Ubisoft and Xbox expanded their partnership on July 27 with a new console-to-PC program covering 13 popular games. This initiative allows players who own digital versions of select Ubisoft titles on Xbox to access the PC versions through Ubisoft Connect at no extra cost.

13 Games Eligible for Free PC Versions

• 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
• Watch Dogs: Legion

Assassin's Creed Shadows and Star Wars Outlaws are not included in this list and are therefore not eligible for free transfer. These two titles are available as premium versions in the Xbox PC app and require a separate purchase.

How to Claim

• Verify that you own a digital Xbox version of any of the 13 listed games.
• Update Ubisoft Connect to the latest version via ubisoft.com.
• For new purchases, the PC version will be available instantly from today.
• For existing game owners, the PC version will be gradually added to your account starting August 4.

It's important to check which games support cross-progression, as this determines whether your progress on Xbox will transfer to PC. In-game currencies and single-use consumables are not included in this transfer.

Key Limitations

The program works in one direction only: you can get a free PC version if you own the game on Xbox, but not the other way around. Purchasing a game on PC does not grant you a free Xbox version. Accessing the PC version requires a Ubisoft Connect account, which means you'll need to use a separate launcher if you prefer everything in one place.

Background

This announcement follows Xbox's recent launch of a backward compatibility program that brings original Xbox games to PC, further blurring the lines between console and PC in Microsoft's strategy. Some commentators see this as laying the groundwork for features like digitizing physical game libraries and a more PC-like next-gen Xbox console, though this is still speculation and not officially confirmed.
