On the other hand, in an announcement late last year as well, Stadia shuts down, and Ubisoft Plus should be available on the cloud gaming service until January 18, 2023, only.Yup, you read that right, the gaming subscription service can be enjoyed by the two biggest gaming companies. Moreover, just last year, Ubisoft confirmed that the Plus is coming to PlayStation and Xbox in the future.The biggest key to this is that gamers who don’t have a powerful enough PC to play the games in Uplay Plus will be able to do so with Google Stadia if the cloud-streaming platform performs as advertised.

This will add some fuel to the crossplay fires as well, since it’d be a hassle to manage your Uplay Plus or Xbox game content on your PC and not be able to access it on Google Stadia. For instance, we could see a future where EA brings Origin Plus and Microsoft brings Xbox Game Pass subscriptions to Google Stadia. If those games aren’t already a part of the Stadia platform, this could result in Stadia being a springboard for game publishers and their individual subscriptions separate from Stadia. If the games included in Uplay Plus are also already a part of the Stadia Pro library, a differentiator could be that the premium versions with DLC are accessed exclusively via Uplay Plus, while Stadia only features the standard base version. Google Stadia can be accessed in a free form where players purchase individual games that they can access on the platform and a Pro subscription that gives unlimited access to a library of games. This new partnership is an extension of an already existing one, as Google utilized Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey to test the Stadia platform. In 2020, Uplay Plus will be available for Google Stadia users. While a new subscription service itself is news of note, a partner reveal at the tail end of the segment during Ubisoft’s E3 2019 conference was the real blockbuster.
