Not everyone is a fan of the monthly subscription services, but in some cases, they can end up being cheaper than buying everything you want individually. Ubisoft + is a subscription that includes most of the titles published by the French game company of the same name, and now includes access to Google Stadia.

Ubisoft + already allows subscribers to download and install most video games Ubisoft publishes on their computers, or play select titles on Amazon’s Luna Streaming Service. Starting today, the same $ 14.99 / month fee now includes access to Stadia, if you connect your Google account to your Ubisoft account. Stadia Pro is not required to subscribe, but you must be a US resident.

Although Ubisoft + includes access to most of the company’s games, the catalog of Stadia supported games is much shorter. The list of games available on the cloud has not yet been updated with the Stadia results, but it appears that it only includes titles that have already been ported to Stadia (Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs: Legion, etc.). Stadia Pro already offers discounts on some Ubisoft games, so if you’re already paying for it, you might not be saving much money by subscribing. However, if you also want to play games on Amazon Luna or PC, you don’t have to buy the same games multiple times per platform.

The integration can be enabled through the new Ubisoft + settings page in the Stadia web app, which is still running. More information on Ubisoft + can be found on the company’s website.
