Ubisoft+ Classics is now available as a standalone subscription on PlayStation consoles

It’s Ubisoft+ Classics on PlayStation consoles. It’s Ubisoft’s curated collection of its back catalogue, allowing PS4 and PS5 owners to play Far Cry and Assassin’s Creed titles until the heat death of the universe. Subscribers can choose from more than 50 games dating back more than a decade.

This isn’t a low-rated shovelware dump, as there are plenty of recent hits to choose from. Members can play on , squad gunner Rainbow Six Siege, the side-scrolling platformer Rayman Legends and on among many others. In total, there are five Far Cry installments and a whopping 12 Assassin’s Creed games to choose from. The catalog also includes standalone titles such as Immortals Fenyx Rising, Child of Light and Valiant Hearts: The Great War.

Ubisoft+ Classics subscription for PlayStation on its own, although it is still available as part of PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium. So this membership is for Ubisoft superfans who don’t want access to all the other benefits that the dedicated PS Plus membership provides. There must be a few people like that, right?

There’s also the Ubisoft+ Premium tier, which costs $18 per month. This more expensive membership includes premium editions of the entire back catalog, in addition to day one access to new releases, early access games, monthly rewards, and more. However, Ubisoft+ Premium is currently only available for Xbox, Amazon Luna and PC.

However, there is an elephant in the room for multiplayer. Games like Rainbow Six Siege they’re not really fun without other people, but it looks like the Ubisoft+ Classics subscription only gives you access to the games, not the online multiplayer component. For this, gamers will need to acquire a PS Plus membership, which eliminates any savings from choosing Ubisoft+ Classics over PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium. We’ve reached out to Ubisoft for clarification on this matter.
