- Xbox is adding 13 Ubisoft games to its console-to-PC program, providing free PC access to players who own these titles on Xbox, as announced on Xbox Wire and reported by PC Gamer.
- Starting today, purchasing a digital version of any listed game on Xbox grants access to both the Xbox and 'Xbox on PC' versions.
- Existing owners will receive the PC version through a progressive rollout beginning August 4.
- The Ubisoft titles added to the console-to-PC program include Assassin's Creed Mirage, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Far Cry 6, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Riders Republic, Skull and Bones, The Crew 2, The Crew Motorfest, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, and Watch Dogs Legion.
- There are two important notes: first, currencies and consumables from the Xbox version do not transfer to the PC version.
- However, if a game supports cross-progression, progress from the Xbox edition will carry over to PC.
- Second, the program is one-directional; purchasing the PC version does not grant access to the Xbox edition.
- The offer is available today for new digital purchases, while the rollout for existing owners starts August 4.
