Ubisoft+ is here but costs $18/month so not really worth it for me, especially since I already own 90% of the Ubisoft library.

Just bought a physical copy of Far Cry 6 Ultimate the other day for about €13 and another Ubisoft game which isn't included in the Ubisoft+ library. Considering Ubisoft games tend to be too long for their own good, the price they're asking for every month is too high. How many of their games can you beat in a month? Up to two games maybe as long as one of them isn't a recent Assassin's Creed game. Might as well pay $20 to own two games (they are on sale quite frequently after all) and play them without the pressure.

I think the main selling point is that day one Ubisoft releases are on there, as well as the DLC including Gold editions for alot of the games. You can play a brand new Ubisoft game, at release, for $18 if you can beat it within a month (pretty easy to do for even their largest games like AC Valhalla), instead of paying $70 for them. You can also wait until all DLC's for said game are released and then play it with all DLC for $18. 

Is their enough value for a permanent sub? Not unless you are a massive Ubisoft fan and play pretty much everything they release. But the value is quite good for a limited time sub when playing new releases that interest you or say if you want to replay some of the older AC games they have re-released for the new batch of achievements, like Ezio Trilogy, Rogue Remaster, and 3 Remaster, or the Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon re-releases. It's also worth it to play some DLC's for some of the Ubisoft games you own but never bought the DLC for, for instance I never played any of the AC Odyssey or AC Origins DLC, nor the final Valhalla expansion, nor any of the far cry or watch dogs DLC's or South Park Fractured But Whole's DLC's. So I will definitely sub for a few months during some dead zone for new releases to play those re-released games with new batches of achievements and those DLC's I never played.

I know it's mostly for new releases and DLCs but it still isn't that great of a deal, especially if you want to sub once for playing day one and then sub a second time a few months later to play the DLCs. Also let's be real here, most people don't have the time to finish a game like Valhalla in one month. That requires playing the game for 3 hours every single day. Sucks even more when you're additionally paying for Gold or GP that month but don't have the time to use it. No one is going to let GP expire so they can focus on Ubisoft+.

Btw. you're out of luck with some of the bolded games. Both final DLCs for Valhalla and Far Cry 6 are not part of the season pass and therefore not included in any of the available versions (Deluxe, Gold, Ultimate or whatever) so they aren't part of Ubisoft+ either.
