14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft confirmed last month that more Ubisoft games will be coming to Game Pass in the future. The first two titles that would be joining the gaming service by the end of June would be Assassin’s Creed Origins and For Honor: Marching Fire Edition, the Redmond-based giant revealed in April.
Although Microsoft did not say when exactly these games will be available on Game Pass, their release dates have been revealed via the Game Pass “coming soon” section on Xbox consoles, VGC reports. If you’re dying to play Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Origins, it looks like you won’t have to wait too long.
According to Microsoft, Assassin’s Creed Origins will join the Game Pass library for cloud, console, and PC (via the Ubisoft Connect app) as early as June 1. On the other hand, For Honor: Marching Fire Edition will only be available on Game Pass for the same platforms on June 7.
We do not believe it to be a simple coincidence the fact that Ubisoft plans to release a patch this week that will allow Assassin’s Creed Origins to run at 60fps on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 via backwards compatibility.
In the same piece of news, another title confirmed to arrive next month is Shadowrun Returns, which is expected to hit Game Pass on June 21. However, it’s safe to assume that a lot more games will be added to Xbox Game Pass next month. At least one dozen new games are added to Microsoft’s gaming service each month, so these three are just the tip of the iceberg.
Meanwhile, Microsoft added more than two dozen games to Xbox Game Pass since the beginning of May, including titles like Trek to Yomi, Eiyuden Chronicles: Rising, Jurassic World Evolution 2, This War of Mine: Final Cut. Additional games are expected to hit the service this week though: Sniper Elite 5, Hardspace: Shipbreaker, and Cricket 22.
