The service provides users with a vast catalog of Ubisoft titles and other benefits, including discounts on purchasing games, downloadable content (DLC) from the service's library.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ubisoft+ {{!}} Access Ubisoft's latest games, extra content, and more |url=https://store.ubisoft.com/us/ubisoftplus |access-date=2025-12-23 |website=store.ubisoft.com}}</ref>
Ubisoft+ is currently available in two main tiers:
* '''Ubisoft+ Premium:''' Offers access to over 100+ games, including new releases on day 1 of launch day, early access when available, premium editions, DLC and season pass content, 20% discount on games and DLCs, 10% discount on virtual currency and monthly game rewards across PC, Xbox, PlayStation and Amazon Luna. * '''Ubisoft+ Classics:''' A lower-cost tier focused on legacy titles available on PC, PlayStation (via PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra, as well as a standalone offer) and Xbox (via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate).
The service includes popular franchises such as Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Watch Dogs, Rainbow Six, and The Division, and supports both cross-play and cross-platform progression for many titles.
When a user cancels their subscription, their progression is saved and linked to their Ubisoft Connect and the games will become unavailable unless the user already owns them, purchases them, or re-subscribes to Ubisoft+ again in the future.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cancelling your Ubisoft+ subscription |url=https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/ubisoft-plus/purchases-and-rewards/article/cancelling-your-ubisoft-subscription/000065286 |website=Ubisoft}}</ref>
