Watch Dogs: Legion, the dystopian open world hacker action game from Ubisoft has been out for a few months now, and while the initial response to the game was mixed, support for the game continues. Following in the footsteps of Rockstar’s open-world games, Watch Dogs: Legion is set to launch an online mode that could extend the game’s life further. Now a rumor that the game could be coming to Xbox Game Pass, if true, would also do a lot to keep the game in the spotlight a little longer.
Watch Dogs: Legion, like another AAA release from late 2020, suffered a bit from being a tad too ambitious. While Ubisoft created a believable dystopian London, there were a number of mysteries and plot holes in Watch Dogs: Legion that were never cleared up. Legion’s decision to not have one main protagonist is an interesting way to shake up the typical open world formula, but in a crowded market, it wasn’t enough to make the game really pop.
Which is why the rumor that the Watch Dogs: Legion could end up in the Xbox Game Pass is very interesting. Industry insider and XboxEra podcast host Shpeshal Ed tweeted out a cryptic message with out-of-place capitalization on the words Game, Passes, and Legion. This seems to be intentional.
It could just be wishful thinking, but Ed has been on the mark in the past. Final Fantasy 7 Remake coming to PlayStation Plus was predicted by Ed, so he could be right about Watch Dogs: Legion as well. Putting the game on Game Pass would certainly raise its profile once again.
If the game moves onto the Xbox Game Pass, it will join NBA 2K21, which landed on Game Pass recently. Putting Watch Dogs: Legion on the Game Pass ahead of the March 23rd launch of Watch Dogs: Legion Online would be a solid strategy to get more players to give the game a try.
Recent updates have improved issues with the game, so perhaps the game is in good enough shape to be reborn on Xbox Game Pass. It is really key for online modes, like the one Ubisoft is planning to launch here, is to have a solid player base in place. The more folks logging in, the better the experience for players and the more potential revenue for Ubisoft. Folks who haven’t picked the game up yet could be swayed by its inclusion in the Xbox Game Pass, though they will just have to wait and see if this rumor turns out to be true or not.
Watch Dogs: Legion is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
