Rainbow Six Extraction, Ubisoft’s PvE spinoff of Rainbow Six Siege, is launching day one on Xbox Game Pass. The game will be available to subscribers on both console and PC when Extraction launches on January 20th.
Rainbow Six Siege will also come to Game Pass for PC on January 20th, with the console and cloud versions frequently featuring among the service’s most popular titles.
Elsewhere, Ubisoft have revealed that Ubisoft+, the company’s own subscription service, will also be coming to Xbox consoles later this year. Ubisoft+ debuted on PC back in 2019 under the name UPLAY+, offering subscribers access to 100+ Ubisoft titles, including new releases as well as their respective DLCs and season passes.
Currently, Ubisoft+ offers two plans, PC Access and Multi Access, the latter of which provides access to the service on streaming platforms such as Google Stadia. Ubisoft did not reveal when Ubisoft+ would arrive on Xbox consoles, but it has confirmed the service will be separate from Xbox Game Pass.
“By making Rainbow Six Extraction available to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass members on the day and date of its launch via Xbox Game Pass, we’re demonstrating that we believe in the value and choice that game subscriptions offer to players,” said Chris Early, Ubisoft’s Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Business Development.
“Rainbow Six Extraction for Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass members is just the beginning. Ultimately, we will offer the Ubisoft+ subscription service to Xbox owners so that they can enjoy the full extent of our Ubisoft+ game library, including new releases, on their consoles.”
Sarah Bond, Xbox’s Corporate Vice President of Game Creator Experience and Ecosystem also spoke on Game Pass’ upcoming addition, believing that subscribers are getting “another blockbuster”.
“With Rainbow Six Extraction, Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass members are getting another blockbuster added to their library on the same day the title launches,”
“And because Rainbow Six Siege will be on both Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass as well, the Rainbow Six community and fans of tactical shooters will have plenty to look forward to playing together, no matter where they play.”
Rainbow Six Extraction releases on January 20th for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, PC, Google Stadia and Amazon Luna (US only).
