Ubisoft is adding three more games to its Ubisoft+ Classics catalog later this month. The incoming additions to the company's growing collection of older releases are Rainbow Six: Siege, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, and The Division 2. The development is likely to finalize Ubisoft's lineup of Classics for this year.
True to its name, Ubisoft+ Classics is a collection of older games from Ubisoft's vast gaming portfolio. It was announced back in May and is so far only available to PS4 and PS5 owners. More specifically, Ubisoft+ Classics are bundled with PlayStation Plus Extra and PlayStation Plus Premium subscriptions, priced at $14.99 and $17.99 per month, respectively. The initial version of the catalog contained 27 games, with Ubisoft vowing to bring that number up to 50 by the end of the year, a promise that it's now set to fulfill in a matter of days.
Once Rainbow Six: Siege, The Division 2, and Ghost Recon: Breakpoint are released as Ubisoft+ Classics, the digital collection will grow to 51 games. The incoming additions to the catalog are all set to arrive on Tuesday, November 15. Based on Ubisoft's track record with service updates, the trio is likely to become available for download around midnight, irrespective of the time zone. Those hoping to use this opportunity to delve into The Division 2 Year 5 content or other DLC for any of the three games should note that Ubisoft+ Classics tend to consist of vanilla versions of the company's titles, with their DLC still sold separately.
Ghost Record: Breakpoint is the only game from this Ubisoft+ Classics expansion that's no longer in active development, as its last major update released back in May. Meanwhile, Rainbow Six: Siege is currently in its 26th season which started in late summer with Operation Brutal Swarm. The update introduced a wide variety of in-game content, including a new Rainbow Six: Siege operator called Grim. The ongoing tenth season of The Division 2 started just a couple of weeks later with the Price of Power update.
This month's additions to the Ubisoft+ Classics portfolio add even more value to Sony's non-entry-level PlayStation Plus subscriptions. That said, one recent report suggested that Ubisoft+ could soon be launching on Xbox consoles, as well. Compared to the Classics catalog, the main Ubisoft+ offering—formerly called Uplay+—offers over a hundred titles, including all the company's latest releases, for $14.99 a month.
The gaming giant already confirmed its intention to bring Ubisoft+ to both PlayStation and Xbox half a year ago, but has yet to provide an update on its efforts to do so. Reading between the lines of its original announcement, it's still plausible that Ubisoft+ will launch on PlayStation before its Xbox debut. The service has so far released on PC, Amazon Luna, and the soon-to-be-axed Google Stadia platform.
