The game in question isAssassin’s Creed Valhalla, which came out in November 2020 alongside therelease of PS5 and Xbox Series X. This rumor comes from the Polish website XGP which has shared an image from the Polish Xbox store featuringAssassin’s Creed Valhallawith a Game Pass badge. XGP claims that the logo disappeared shortly after, but it managed to grab a screenshot of the store page before the change. As always, all rumors should be taken with a grain of salt and gamers will have to wait for an official confirmation from either Microsoft or Ubisoft.
VariousAssassin’s Creedgames have been added to Xbox Game Passthis year, so the leak may be true after all. The previous mainline entry in the series,Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, came to Xbox Game Pass in September, withAssassin’s Creed Originsjoining in June.
It should be noted thatAssassin’s Creed Valhallais available on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium, so Ubisoft perhaps decided to add it to Xbox Game Pass as well.Valhallacomes as a part of Ubisoft+ Classics, a new subscription service that gives players access to older Ubisoft titles at no extra cost. All PS Plus Extra and Premium members have access to the Ubisoft+ Classics catalog, which is said to increase to over 50 titles by the end of the year.
WhileAssassin’s Creed Valhallacoming to Xbox Game Pass seems plausible, it’ll be interesting to see if this rumor ends up being true. A recently debunked leak mentioned thatAEW: Fight Foreverwill launch on Xbox Game Passas a day-one release, so the listing could also have been due to an Xbox store error.
Assassin’s Creed Valhallais available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
