The $15 you spend on Ubisoft+ buys you over 100 games on Windows. On Stadia, it currently buys you not even 20.
That’s the trade-off in a nutshell: breadth on PC versus flexibility on Google’s cloud platform. If you live in the Ubisoft ecosystem and bounce between a gaming rig, Chromecast, and Android phone, this new Stadia tie-in is tempting — but it’s very obviously a sidecar to the PC service, not an equal partner.
What Ubisoft+ on Stadia Actually Gives You
Ubisoft+ is a single $15/month subscription that now works across Windows PCs and Google Stadia. On Windows, you get access to a catalog of 100+ Ubisoft titles, from recent AAA releases all the way back to games from the 1990s.
Hook it up to Stadia, and the rules change. Instead of that full PC library, you only get every Ubisoft game that already exists on Stadia. In practice, that’s just shy of 20 titles right now. The win: those Stadia entries are “Ultimate”-style editions — top-tier versions with DLC and extras baked in.
So you’re paying one fee for two very different experiences: a big, traditional PC library plus a smaller, premium slice of that catalog that runs from the cloud on TVs, phones, tablets, and low-power laptops.
Cloud Convenience vs. Catalog Reality
On a technical and lifestyle level, Stadia is clearly framed as an extension of Ubisoft+, not a standalone destination. Stadia lets some of those Ubisoft titles escape the PC box and show up on your living room TV or Android phone without local downloads or beefy GPUs.
That’s the real Android angle here: any decent phone suddenly becomes a Far Cry or Assassin’s Creed machine, assuming your connection holds. You’re essentially renting Ubisoft’s ecosystem once and choosing your screen after the fact.
The catch is obvious: Ubisoft’s back catalog hasn’t magically turned into a cloud-native library. Many older titles were never ported to Stadia at all, and Ubisoft isn’t pretending otherwise. If you’re picturing those 1990s and early 2000s deep cuts streaming to your phone, lower your expectations.
Under 20 Games on Stadia: Is $15 Fair Value?
The number that matters is harsh: from 100+ games on PC down to just under 20 on Stadia. Yes, those Stadia versions tend to be top-tier “Ultimate” editions, and that does have value if you care about full DLC bundles and upgraded versions.
But the math doesn’t disappear. You’re effectively paying for the PC library first, and getting Stadia access as a bonus layer — not the other way around. If you’re Stadia-only and don’t game on Windows, that deal looks a lot weaker.
For multi-platform players, the equation is better. You can grind on PC when you’re at a desk, then pick up on a TV or Android device via Stadia without extra purchases. For anyone who only cares about cloud access, the limited catalog feels like a paywall in front of a half-built store.
Upcoming Titles: Promise, With Built-In Limits
Ubisoft isn’t stopping at the current sub-20 lineup. More games are confirmed, and they’re not just throwaway ports. Assassin’s Creed Syndicate and Assassin’s Creed Unity are slated to join Stadia, expanding the historical chunk of the Ubisoft+ cloud list.
Beyond that, Ubisoft is pushing upcoming releases into the Stadia side too. Riders Republic, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, Far Cry 6, and “more” are on the roadmap for the service. The plan is obvious: narrow the gap between the Windows catalog and what’s playable via the cloud.
Even then, expectations are being managed. Ubisoft doesn’t expect some of the very old titles to ever hit Stadia. So the best you can reasonably hope for is a Stadia Ubisoft+ that feels similar in spirit to the PC version, not a 1:1 mirror of the 100+ game library.
Who Should Actually Subscribe Right Now?
If you’re already on Ubisoft+ for PC and you own Stadia-compatible hardware — Chromecast, Android phones, Chromebooks, lightweight laptops — this is a solid upgrade. You unlock cloud access to every Ubisoft game currently on Stadia, and you’ll automatically get new ones as they drop into the subscription.
If you’re primarily a Stadia gamer with no interest in PC gaming, it’s harder to recommend. You’re paying the same $15 that PC players pay, but you’re getting a fraction of the library. The top-tier editions help, but they don’t fully compensate for the smaller catalog.
The smartest buyers are probably the ones who can genuinely use both sides. Think: a Windows machine at home, a Chromecast in the living room, and an Android phone in your pocket. In that scenario, Ubisoft+ becomes a way to carry one account and one subscription across all your screens, even if the cloud side is still missing huge chunks of Ubisoft’s history.
The Bottom Line: Strong Concept, Half-Built Execution
Ubisoft+ on Stadia is a good concept with clear flaws. The integration treats Stadia as a satellite to the main PC service, which is honest but also a bit deflating if you were hoping for full parity.
Right now you’re getting:
- 100+ games on Windows, including older titles from the 1990s.
- Just under 20 games on Stadia, all in high-end “Ultimate”-style editions.
- A growing list of new and upcoming games heading to Stadia, including Far Cry 6 and Riders Republic.
- No realistic path for many very old PC titles to ever arrive on Google’s cloud.
For Android and cloud-first gamers, this is more of a “nice to have” than a must-subscribe moment. The value improves if you see Stadia as one piece of a bigger Ubisoft+ setup, not your only platform.
If Ubisoft keeps actually adding the promised titles and expanding the Stadia list over the next few months, this could mature into a strong all-access pass to Ubisoft’s modern catalog across PC and cloud. Until then, it’s a cool idea that still feels like a beta phase for anyone living purely in the cloud.
