Ubisoft will own the Cloud Streaming Licenses to every single Activision-Blizzard title released ever, in addition, they will also own the licenses to all Activision-Blizzard titles released across the next 15 years, after the 15 years are up, any new title licenses will be owned by Microsoft but all previous title licenses will still be owned by Ubisoft.

So every single Activision-Blizzard-King title from the past, current and 15 year future can be on Ubisoft+, however, Ubisoft still has to pay Microsoft a compensation fee.

We're not talking native Ubisoft+ ports here, it's Cloud Gaming only, it doesn't need to "exist" natively on the platform to be put into the Cloud service.

Future ABK titles will be available via Ubisoft+ but any titles which are exclusive to Xbox consoles will only be available on PlayStation either via Ubisoft+ Cloud Streaming or PS+ if Sony pays Ubisoft for them.

But Ubisoft doesn't have a cloud service. They are currently using Amazon Luna for their own cloud games but since Luna isn't available for consoles, the only way for future games to be on Playstation would be if Sony pays Ubisoft for cloud games on PS Plus.

They don't? Suppose they don't! Not really a problem though, they'll have a Cloud option soon.

Ubisoft+ Cloud Gaming

We're excited to announce a new agreement that will bring Activision Blizzard games to Ubisoft+ via streaming.

Ubisoft has signed a long-term partnership with Parsec, a provider of games streaming technology.

Either Microsoft will provide the backend support or Amazon will since Google uses AWS in other areas, fairly trivial at that stage who provides it, Cloud Gaming will come to Ubisoft+ and someone (other than Ubisoft) will provide the servers/backend. Now that I know Ubisoft doesn't have their own backend, I think Microsoft will provide it.
