Ubisoft Won't Include Physical Games In UK Collector's Editions For Upcoming Xbox One Titles


Ubisoft has made a change to the Collector's editions on Xbox for three of its most anticipated games. If you pre-ordered the Collector's editions for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs: Legion, or Far Cry 6 on Xbox, you will now receive a digital copy of the game rather than a physical edition.

A short post on a help page found on the UK Ubisoft store website details the change. Ubisoft didn't provide a reason, but it could be related to Xbox's Smart Delivery feature, which grants access to select games on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X. Essentially, you buy a game once to play on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X. All three of these Ubisoft titles support Smart Delivery, so there's only one Collector's edition for each game that will be compatible with both Xbox consoles. Ubisoft has clarified to Polygon that this change doesn't apply to North American customers.

The change doesn't apply to PS4 versions of the Collector's editions, which will still come with physical games. Just like on Xbox, you'll be able to play your PlayStation pre-order on both the PS4 and PS5--though the box art for the game will be PS4. Ubisoft is also supporting a cross-buy system on PS4 to PS5 for technical enhancements. Unlike some of its competitors, its next-gen games will cost $60, at least at launch.
The pricey Collector's editions for Far Cry 6 ($200), Watch Dogs: Legion ($190), and Assassin's Creed Valhalla ($200) are sold exclusively at the Ubisoft Store. Unfortunately, the only one remaining in stock is Watch Dogs: Legion. For more on all of the editions that are still up for grabs, make sure to check out our pre-order guides for Far Cry 6, Watch Dogs: Legion, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

Texas Longhorns Trending for Explosive Florida WR?

Image
Explosive Pompano Beach Florida wide receiver Jaden Alexis is set to announce his commitment in the coming weeks. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound speedster caught 49 passes for 894 yards and eight touchdowns as a junior at Monarch HS. The South Florida native will be one of the more dynamic wideouts in the 2021 class. Alexis' evaluation from SI All American: Bottom Line: Alexis is a big-play threat because of his short-area quickness and burst. Very athletic wide receiver that will be difficult to corral during one-on-one situations, particularly after the catch. Adept at beating press coverage and excellent at turning a short screen into a long gain. Several recruiting experts have predicted Alexis will eventually pick the Longhorns.  Alexis would be the second receiver commit for the 2021 class, with a chance to make a great impact in Austin. Texas is also heavily recruiting and trending four-star receiver Ketron Jackson. Jackson is also set to announce his decision in the n...
