Xbox Game Pass has become a go-to option for gamers looking to maximize their playtime without breaking the bank. With the much-expected Assassin’s Creed Shadows launch in 2025, many wonder if this title will grace the subscription service. Given Ubisoft’s styling of this RPG within an interesting Japanese setting, a partnership with Microsoft could significantly improve its visibility and player engagement.
It’s hard not to notice that Shadows has been a hot topic since it was first revealed. The game has faced numerous delays, stirred up controversy over some of its graphic content, and even had Ubisoft responding to leaked gameplay footage. Players are paying close attention.
Shadows remain strong. Yet, players seem to be divided; while many can’t wait to jump in, others are hesitant about shelling out full price for it. That raises an interesting question: can you snag it through Xbox Game Pass?
XBOX GAME PASS WILL NOT INCLUDE ASSASSIN’S CREED SHADOWS AT LAUNCH ON MARCH 20.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows requires the purchase of one of its various editions; both physical and digital options abound! Ubisoft seems confident enough in the game’s marketability that it won’t rely on subscriptions like Game Pass at launch.
Will Assassin’s Creed Shadows Come to Game Pass?
There might be a chance for Assassin’s Creed Shadows to appear on Xbox Game Pass eventually, but don’t hold your breath just yet.
Shadows join the ranks of other titles available via subscription services; it’s worth noting that the entire reboot trilogy, Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, is currently accessible through Game Pass. While Mirage isn’t part of that lineup just yet either, there’s hope! Should Shadows follow suit down the road, it remains uncertain but possible.
