Ubisoft is handing out five free days of its Ubisoft+ Premium subscription, and the clock is already ticking. The promotion runs across both Xbox and PC, and the cutoff is June 23.

Here's the thing: this isn't a watered-down sampler. The trial covers full Premium Editions of major Ubisoft releases, meaning base games plus DLC and expansions bundled in.

What's actually in the catalog

The headline titles available during the trial period are worth paying attention to. Assassin's Creed Shadows, Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Complete Edition are all accessible through the promotion. That last one includes the full expansion content, which normally costs extra on top of the base game.

For anyone who has been sitting on the fence about Shadows specifically, five days is enough time to put in a serious run and decide whether it's worth a longer commitment.

How Xbox players actually claim this

PC users can grab the trial directly through the Ubisoft website without much friction. Xbox is a slightly different story.

Because the trial can't be activated through the Xbox console interface itself, players on Microsoft's platform need to go through a few extra steps:

  • Visit the official Ubisoft website and select the "Premium - Free for 5 days" offer
  • Log into an existing Ubisoft account or create a new one
  • Link that Ubisoft account to the corresponding Xbox network account to push the subscription benefits to the console

It's a few minutes of setup, but nothing particularly complicated.

The payment method catch you need to know

important
A valid payment method (credit card or verified PayPal) is required to activate the trial. If you don't cancel before June 23, you'll be charged the standard monthly rate for Ubisoft+ Premium automatically.

This is the part most people skim past. The trial is free, but it rolls into a paid subscription the moment it expires unless you cancel manually. The smart move is to cancel immediately after redeeming access. Your five days of access stay active regardless, and you won't see a charge.

What most players miss is that cancelling right away doesn't cut off access early. The promotional window runs until June 23, and cancelling just prevents the auto-renewal from triggering.

The timing and what's behind it

Ubisoft isn't running this promotion in a vacuum. The company has been navigating a difficult stretch internally, with restructuring and studio closures making headlines over the past several months. Free trials like this one serve a practical purpose: they pull lapsed players back into the ecosystem and give the subscription service a visibility boost at a time when Ubisoft needs to demonstrate the value of its catalog.

For players, that context doesn't change the offer itself. Free access to Premium Editions of multiple major titles is a genuine deal regardless of what's motivating it.
