Top 10 Free PC Games Xbox Owners Get In Ubisoft's Newest Update
July 28, 2026·6 min read
Ubisoft and Xbox just rolled out a new Console-to-PC program, and if you already own the right games, it is effectively free money. Announced on Xbox Wire, the deal gives Xbox players who own digital versions of select Ubisoft titles the matching PC version at no extra cost, delivered through Ubisoft Connect.
New digital purchases include both versions immediately, while existing owners get their PC copies through a phased rollout in early August. Thirteen games qualify, and you will need the latest Ubisoft Connect with your accounts linked. I sifted through the complete list to rank the 10 standout titles.
Legion's big swing is its recruitment system. Almost every NPC wandering its near-future London can be pulled into your resistance, each with their own skills, schedules and quirks. Play as a grandma with a sniper rifle or a construction worker with a cargo drone.
Players keep coming back for that experimental sandbox freedom, even when the writing is uneven. If you like emergent systems that let you tackle a mission ten ways, it is an easy reinstall on PC.
Far Cry 6 is chaotic guerrilla warfare across the fictional island nation of Yara, with one of the biggest and silliest arsenals in the series. Improvised weapons, animal companions and a backpack that fires rockets all feature.
The standout, and the thing players mention most, is Giancarlo Esposito as dictator Anton Castillo, who brings real menace to the story. On mouse and keyboard the gunplay tightens up nicely, making this a comfortable few dozen hours of familiar Far Cry mayhem.
This is the one to install if you just bought a new graphics card and want to make it sweat. Built on the Snowdrop engine, Frontiers of Pandora is regularly cited as one of the best-looking games around, with a bioluminescent Pandora that genuinely justifies the hype.
Beyond the visuals it is a solid first-person adventure with satisfying Na'vi traversal and hunting. Players recommend it less for its story and more as a showcase you slow down and gawk at. PC is where it shines brightest.
Motorfest is Ubisoft's answer to Forza Horizon, and the community broadly agrees it earns the comparison. Set on a vibrant recreation of the Hawaiian island of O'ahu, it swaps the earlier games' sprawling map for something denser and more festival-focused.
The handling is a real step up from previous Crew titles, and the themed playlists keep the variety high across cars, bikes and boats. It is colourful, easygoing and built for fun rather than simulation. If you have been missing a good arcade racer on PC, this scratches the itch.
After years of enormous RPG entries, Mirage was Ubisoft deliberately going back to basics, and fans appreciated it. Set in a beautifully realised ninth-century Baghdad, it is smaller, tighter and far more focused on classic stealth, parkour and social infiltration than on loot and levelling.
There is no hundred-hour commitment here, just a compact story you can actually finish. For players who fell off the series once it became a full RPG, or those who recently jumped back in with Black Flag Resynced, Mirage is the entry that feels like old-school Assassin's Creed again. A clean, focused pick for PC.
Riders Republic runs almost entirely on fun. It throws dozens of players into a massive open playground built from stitched-together US national parks, then lets you swap on the fly between mountain bikes, skis, snowboards and wingsuits.
The mass races, with fifty or more riders tumbling down a mountain at once, are chaos in the best possible way. The seamless multiplayer and sheer scale are what players praise most. It is not deep, but it is endlessly replayable and great with friends.
Widely called Ubisoft's hidden gem, Immortals Fenyx Rising wears its Breath of the Wild inspiration proudly and pulls it off with charm. You play a mortal caught up in a war between Greek gods, solving genuinely clever environmental puzzles, gliding across a cartoonish open world and fighting mythological beasts with tight, combo-driven combat.
The tone is light and often funny, which sets it apart from Ubisoft's more self-serious output. Players who missed it the first time consistently come away pleasantly surprised. On PC it is a lovely, breezy adventure.
Valhalla is enormous, and that is both the criticism and the appeal. Yes, the main story can stretch well past the point of comfort, and the community jokes about never actually finishing it. But that scale is also why it remains a massive hit years later.
The brutal Viking combat, the raiding, the settlement building and the deep RPG progression can happily swallow dozens of hours. If you want a game to disappear into, few things deliver more content. A generous pickup for PC.
This is the critical darling of the whole list. The Lost Crown is near-universally praised as one of the best Metroidvanias in years, with platforming so fluid it feels effortless, a genuinely clever interconnected map, and boss fights that demand real precision.
It is challenging without being unfair, and respects your time while leaving plenty to explore. If you love tightly designed 2D action-platformers, this is the standout of the bunch, and it plays beautifully on PC.
Rainbow Six Siege is the one where moving to PC is not just nice, it is a genuine competitive upgrade. This is a slow, methodical, destruction-driven tactical shooter where precise aim and map knowledge decide everything, and mouse and keyboard give you a real edge over a controller.
It has one of the most dedicated communities in the genre and a thriving pro scene. If you have been playing on Xbox, claiming the PC version is the obvious move.
The three qualifying games that missed our top ten are Skull and Bones, Ubisoft's ambitious pirate sim, Rainbow Six Extraction, the co-op spin-off, and The Crew 2, the older open-world racer. All thirteen work the same way through Ubisoft Connect.
Zoom out and this is more than a nice freebie. It is another sign of how tightly Microsoft and Ubisoft are now working together, following the two putting more than 80 Ubisoft games on the Xbox app for PC and Ubisoft taking over the cloud-streaming rights to Activision Blizzard's catalogue out of Microsoft's acquisition.
The direction of travel is clear. The old walls between console and PC libraries are coming down, and account-based, cross-platform ownership is quietly becoming the default. For once, the players are the ones who benefit.
