An opportunity to experience major Ubisoft releases and classics arises for PC and Xbox users. The company has released a free trial period for its Ubisoft+ Premium subscription service, allowing full access to games like Assassin’s Creed Shadows and its expansion, Claws of Awaji, at no cost. The offer, which begins on June 18, excludes PlayStation owners, as the service is only available for the other two platforms. Typically, a monthly subscription to Ubisoft+ Premium costs US$17.99, covering a wide range of titles, from independent productions to major releases from the publisher.
This Ubisoft subscription service positions itself as a more targeted alternative to Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass, albeit on a smaller scale. It features a library that exceeds 145 games for PC and Xbox, with the continued addition of new titles. Just like Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Ubisoft+ Premium gives its subscribers early access to exclusive games. Other benefits include access to additional content (DLCs) at no extra cost and various rewards within the games themselves, however, the collection of titles remains its main attraction.
Conditions to take advantage of the Ubisoft+ Premium trial period
Those interested in enjoying the benefits of Ubisoft+ Premium during the trial period should pay attention to the details of the promotion, which has specific dates and times.
- The free trial period begins on June 18th, promptly at 6:00 am PT.
- Free access to the platform ends on June 23, also at 6:00 am (Pacific time).
- The offer is valid for both PC users and Xbox consoles, covering both platforms where Ubisoft+ Premium is available.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows will not be the only highlight of the promotion. According to Ubisoft’s official statement, between June 18th and 23rd, free trial subscribers will have the chance to play other successful titles, such as Rainbow Six Siege, The Division 2, Far Cry 6, Anno 117: Pax Romana, Star Wars Outlaws and For Honor, as well as many others. To take part in this six-day offer, you must access the Ubisoft Store, Ubisoft Connect or the Blacknut platform from June 18th and follow the instructions.

According to surveys by the HowLongToBeat platform, which compiles player data, the main campaign of Assassin’s Creed Shadows requires around 35 hours to complete. Although the six-day free access period may not be enough for casual players to finish the story, it is ideal for evaluating whether purchasing the full game is worth the investment. Those who enjoy the benefits of Ubisoft+ Premium can choose to maintain their subscription after the trial ends, ensuring continued access to the service’s growing library, including future releases such as the highly anticipated Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced.
It is essential that Ubisoft free trial participants provide their payment details at the time of registration, although there will be no charges during the promotional period. To avoid the standard $17.99 monthly fee, you must cancel your subscription before 6am PT on June 23rd. Ubisoft’s official promotion page is clear: “If I choose not to cancel my subscription before the end of the free trial period, I agree that my subscription will automatically renew for a fee, and I authorize Ubisoft to automatically charge the payment method provided at the time of purchase until I cancel.”
