Ubisoft+ is available as a part of PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium on release day as a new service called Ubisoft+ Classics.

PlayStation Plus will transform into a three-tiered service in a few days. The release date varies by region, but members who currently have access to PS Plus will be able to subscribe to one of these tiers. A fourth tier, known as Deluxe, will be able to users in regions where streaming services are unavailable.

PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers will get up to 400 games from Sony’s studios and third-party partners on launch. Members in the Premium tier will also have other bonuses, including PS1, PS2, and PSP titles, and the ability to stream PS3 titles. Sony had announced the new PlayStation Plus tiers in March and has just now revealed the catalog of games. This catalog includes a welcome surprise from one of the leading publishers in the industry.

Ubisoft+ is coming to PlayStation as a new service called Ubisoft+ Classics. It will be included as a part of PlayStation Plus Extra and PlayStation Plus Premium and will come with the standard edition of select Ubisoft titles. Ubisoft+ members get access to the ultimate edition of all Ubisoft games on release, so Ubisoft+ Classics looks like a tier below that. At launch, users can play Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 4, The Crew 2, South Park: The Fractured but Whole, and other Ubisoft games at no extra cost.

In a press release, Ubisoft states that 27 games will be available on launch, and the list will grow to 50 by the end of the year. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is arguably the biggest game on this list, but it’s surprising not to see Far Cry 5 or Watch Dogs 2. Perhaps these titles will get added later in the year as Ubisoft has a massive catalog of games to choose from.

Ubisoft mentions that Ubisoft+ Classics is just the beginning, and it plans to ultimately bring Ubisoft+ to PlayStation and Xbox. However, it’s unlikely that Ubisoft will include the full version of the service as a part of PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass. For reference, Ubisoft+ costs $14.99 a month on PC, more than the monthly cost of a PS Plus Premium annual subscription.

Aside from Ubisoft+ Classics, the catalog of games offered as a part of PS Plus Extra and Premium has some other noteworthy surprises. Sony confirms that subscribers will get to play the likes of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, the Demon’s Souls remake, and Red Dead Redemption 2 at no extra charge, with a refresh occurring every month.

The full list of Ubisoft games coming to PS Plus Extra and Premium via Ubisoft+ Classics is as follows:
