Xbox Game Pass has already received a major upgrade this year, with EA Play being added to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions in addition to all the games that are routinely added, and if a new rumor goes around as people hope it will, there might be another subscription to look forward to next year. The new rumor about Xbox Game Pass plans for 2021 suggests that the Ubisoft + service that gives people instant access to over 100 Ubisoft games at a flat rate will also be added to the Xbox Game Pass, probably through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions, such as EA Play was .
Rumors about the Xbox Game Pass about getting Ubisoft + subscriptions released went online this week, with many believing the Xbox Worlds site to be the source. Although the rumor could have entertained in forums and other discussions, Xbox Worlds has included it in a list of the biggest alleged Xbox rumors circulating right now.
That alone does not mean much to support the rumor, as theories like these frequently float around forums and discussion forums, but others have been weighed to make the rumor seem more likely now. Jez Corden of Windows Central, who has good experience with news focused on Windows and Xbox, said he believes there is a “strong chance” that the rumors will be correct based on what he heard.
I’ve seen rumors about Ubisoft Uplay + joining the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
I think this has a good chance of being true, based on what I’ve heard.

I imagine it would be a safe or a smaller slice of older games, but more crazy things have happened. I always thought EA Play would be an extra level of Game Pass, but they just threw that bad boy right inside. Guess we’ll see.

The idea of Ubisoft +, which can add a smaller selection of games to the Xbox Game Pass, unlike its entire safe, is one that was suggested online, along with the original rumor. Given how many games Ubisoft offers through the service and how it gets new Ubisoft releases at launch, as Xbox Game Pass does with the games in the first part, this would make many Xbox owners much less inclined to buy new versions of Ubisoft in first day. EA Play works similarly to both services and was included in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions without warnings, so there’s always a chance that the same thing will happen with Ubisoft + next year.
