Will Assassin’s Creed Shadows Come to Xbox Game Pass?

If you're wondering whether Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available on Xbox Game Pass, the answer—for now at least—is no. Ubisoft’s latest entry in the long-running franchise isn’t launching on Game Pass for either Xbox or PC. And if history is anything to go by, it won’t be added anytime soon.
Will It Ever Come to Game Pass?
It’s possible—eventually. Ubisoft has a track record of adding older Assassin’s Creed games to Game Pass, like Odyssey and Origins, but usually months or even years after release. Ubisoft tends to keep new releases exclusive to their own service, Ubisoft+, which offers day-one access to Shadows on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Amazon Luna.
How to Play Without Paying Full Price
If you’re looking to play without dropping $70 upfront, Ubisoft+ is your best bet. It’s a monthly subscription that gives you access to Shadows and other Ubisoft titles on launch day. So while it’s not on Game Pass, you can still play day one through Ubisoft+—just not for free.
Final Blurb
So no, Assassin’s Creed Shadows isn’t on Game Pass right now, and probably won’t be for a while. If you want to explore feudal Japan on a budget, Ubisoft+ is your quickest route. Otherwise, you’ll need to wait—and probably wait a long time—for a potential Game Pass debut.
