Ubisoft now includes a free PC copy with digital Xbox purchases of 13 select titles. The promotion, detailed in the original announcement, also extends to existing owners who link their Xbox and Ubisoft Connect accounts.
How the Offer Works
When you buy a digital console version of an eligible game, the PC version appears in your Ubisoft Connect library at no extra cost. Players who already own one of the included titles on Xbox just need to connect their Xbox profile to a Ubisoft Connect account. The free copies are not delivered through the Microsoft Store—they live entirely inside Ubisoft’s own launcher.
Some users might experience a short delay before the PC copy shows up. Ubisoft recommends making sure both accounts are properly linked and checking the Ubisoft Connect app after purchase.
What Games Are Included
Thirteen Ubisoft titles qualify for the deal. Two of the most notable are Rainbow Six Siege and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. While the full list wasn’t spelled out in the initial post, it likely covers several recent and live-service games. Ubisoft has not yet confirmed whether future releases will join the program.
Ubisoft’s Cross-Platform Push
Giving away PC copies with Xbox purchases is a clear push to grow the Ubisoft Connect user base. Unlike Xbox Play Anywhere, which syncs progress and ownership through the Microsoft Store, this offer funnels players into Ubisoft’s own ecosystem. It’s a practical way to tie console players to a PC library they might not otherwise build.
For Xbox, it adds another perk to its digital storefront without requiring any backend work. Microsoft has been layering extra value into its platform, and publisher-led bundle deals like this one sit comfortably alongside first-party efforts.
GamerHeadlines Takeaway
Ubisoft’s free PC copy offer is a smart, low-friction way to get more people onto Ubisoft Connect. For players who split time between console and PC, it removes the need to buy a game twice. The biggest question now is whether the program expands beyond these 13 titles and if Sony or Nintendo will ever see a similar deal.
