It’s not impossible that Assassin’s Creed Shadows might come to Xbox Game Pass in the future like some other Ubisoft titles, but we’re assuming it’ll be at least a year before that happens, if not longer.
In terms of whether it’s worth the money, our resident reviewer PJ O’Reilly went hands on with the game recently for Pure Xbox and found it to be “an incredibly atmospheric, and deliciously dark slice of Assassin’s Creed”. The reviews have been impressive as well, so I’m personally eager to give it a try and see what it’s like!
Don’t forget that Microsoft Rewards can come in really handy for situations like this – if you have any spare points collecting dust, you can redeem them for an Xbox Gift Card and then use that towards Ubisoft Plus. With any luck, you’ll be able to complete the game in 30 days and won’t even need to wait for it to come to Xbox Game Pass!
