Since Luna is part of Ubisoft’s Multi Access plan, PC users can also use Ubisoft Connect to download more than a hundred games, and this catalog covers quite a few of Luna’s blind spots.
With more than 30 games available to stream, people subscribed to this Luna channel are spoiled for choice, and this decision is made even harder by the fact that most of these titles have lengthy campaigns. To help make the process a bit simpler, here are a few of the best Ubisoft+ games.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

That’s not to say these games are copies of each other outside their settings, but they do deliver similar overall experiences. Odyssey is slightly more fine-tuned than Origins, and it is also less bloated than Valhalla. As always, the game presents a gorgeous and immersive world, comfortably one of Ubisoft’s best to date. The writing is also generally quite good, with even the side quests being an improvement over previous entries in the franchise.
Immortals Fenyx Rising Gold Edition
Ubisoft has a few heavy hitters that are forever in rotation. Usually, there is always a Far Cry, Assassin’s Creed, or Tom Clancy game on the horizon, which is justified since these franchises are clearly successful. That said, Ubisoft does occasionally try out a new IP, and the company has a pretty good track record when it comes to these singular releases.
Immortals Fenyx Rising takes the typical Ubisoft open-world and streamlines it, opting to eliminate most of the fluff content in favor of a more digestible and less life-consuming overall package. Inspired by Greek mythology and sharing a couple of similarities with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Immortals is a fun action-packed epic that offers fast-paced combat and gorgeous visuals.
Beyond Good & Evil
Released in 2003, Beyond Good & Evil hit a home run with critics but fell short of commercial expectations, however, positive word of mouth gradually cemented its place as a cult classic. Ambitious and forward-thinking, this title has a sense of adventure to it that few games from any era can match, and it comes with great characters, a fully realized world, and an effective central storyline.
Although certain elements like the combat are a bit janky, Beyond Good & Evil generally holds up quite well in most areas, including the visuals. While there are certainly more successful releases available in the channel, Beyond Good & Evil is one of the best Ubisoft games ever.
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
Far Cry has found a formula that works and the series is determined to stick to it. The mainline open-world entries are largely enjoyable, however, by this point, someone should be fully aware of whether they enjoy the franchise’s gameplay loop or not.
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is worth recommending to non-fans of Ubisoft’s series. Split into missions, Blood Dragon is a streamlined first-person shooter that pays homage to classic action movies from yesteryear. The game does not take itself seriously, can be completed within a couple of hours, and is ridiculously entertaining.
Child Of Light
A refreshing change of pace for Ubisoft, Child of Light is a turn-based RPG with a whimsical storybook-style narrative. As Aurora, players traverse the gorgeous Lemuria on a quest to free the land from the Queen of the Night’s grasp; along the way, the protagonist makes a few friends who decide to join in.
Watch Dogs 2 Gold Edition
Set in San Francisco, the game follows a group of hackers who are opposing a widespread system designed to big brother the city’s residents. Watch Dogs 2’s open-world is gorgeous and unsurprisingly huge, although not overwhelmingly so like a few other Ubisoft titles. The narrative keeps things moving at a reasonable pace, and the map comes packed with side content for those who want to step away from the main quest.
Trials Rising Gold Edition
When it comes to picking the better option out of the two Trials games on the Ubisoft+ channel, the selection mostly comes down to the player’s familiarity with this series. Newcomers should start with Trials Rising as it does a better job of easing beginners into the franchise’s physics-based stunts. In comparison, Trials Fusion is less welcoming of inexperienced players.
Trials Rising is also just a really awesome game with impressive visuals, solid courses, and a fair amount of replay value. This property might not be that representative of the typical Ubisoft brand, but Trials has been a constant source of brilliance for roughly two decades.
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game – Complete Edition
Originally released in 2010, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game was delisted in 2014, making it impossible to purchase the beat ’em up licensed game. After years of hoping, fans were finally granted an opportunity to replay this title as Ubisoft announced and released the Complete Edition, a remaster that includes all the DLC.
A fun co-op romp, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game does justice to the source material, delivering charming retro visuals alongside solid gameplay. As in the graphic novels and movie, the plot follows Scott as he takes on Ramona’s evil exes in glorious battles. While not deviating too far from the tried-and-true beat ’em up formula, the combat system does offer quite a bit of variety since each playable character comes with unique movesets. There is even a progression system so that things do not get stale too quickly.
Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 Ultimate Edition
Debuting in 2019, The Division 2 has been a resounding success, even if it does not attract as much attention as some other online shooters like Destiny 2. Set in Washington D.C. in a world that has been ravished by a disease, the RPG builds upon the ideas of its predecessor while introducing an open-world with more variety and intrigue. Narratively, The Division 2 is perfectly serviceable, but the story is seldom the selling point of live service games – it is all about their gameplay loop and endgame content.

The Division 2 is a confident third-person shooter with solid loot, good visuals, and fun co-op options. The endgame is reasonably well-designed, offering a lot of content for players to go through, particularly in the Ultimate Edition. If someone is not interested in the endless grind, the campaign works well as a straightforward RPG shooter.
Riders Republic Ultimate Edition
Released towards the end of 2021, Riders Republic did not make an especially big splash, at least when compared to other Ubisoft projects. While not without its shortcomings, Riders Republic is a pretty entertaining single-player and multiplayer experience that largely tries to craft a sense of freedom.
Best Games On Ubisoft Connect App (PC Only)
Luna users with an Ubisoft+ subscription can also get Ubisoft Connect on their PC to download and play a host of games that cannot be streamed. Please note that the player’s computer would need to meet a game’s minimum requirements since Ubisoft Connect does not use Cloud Streaming.
Rayman Legends
Except for some mobile games, Ubisoft has all but forgotten Rayman. The franchise’s recent inactivity has been especially frustrating since its last full releases, Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends, were among the best platformers of the 2010s. That might sound like hyperbole, but both games hold up well to repeat playthroughs.
Boasting a gorgeous art style, brilliant music, and addictive gameplay, Rayman Legends hits the ground running and never slows down. The project is packed to the brim with content, including quite a few levels from its predecessor, Origins. Regardless of whether someone grew up with the classic Rayman games or not, Legends is a must-play for anyone remotely interested in platformers. For those who do not love the genre, this game might be the one to change their mind.
Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time
Through the Ubisoft Connect app, Ubisoft+ subscribers can revisit all five console Prince of Persia games. While some entries are more loved than others, they are all, at worst, decent. At their best, the games are masterpieces. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is regarded as a cornerstone release in the action-adventure genre, and it would go on to influence Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed.

Even nearly two decades later, The Sands of Time’s platforming and parkour are still a sight to behold. The Prince moves with a grace that few video game protagonists can match, and the level design is top-notch throughout. Although dated in places, this 2003 game has not lost a shred of charm.
After completing the first game, players should give the sequels a try. Warrior Within has a great combat system, while The Two Thrones strikes a good middle ground between its two predecessors. Even 2008’s Prince of Persia and The Forgotten Sands are passable outings.
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Ubisoft Connect has an array of Splinter Cell games, including 2013’s Blacklist. Most of these titles are fantastic, but if forced to select the cream of the crop, it would have to be 2005’s Chaos Theory.
The stealth genre has naturally grown since the mid-2000s, and some aspects of Chaos Theory do show their age. Nevertheless, the overall campaign is a great deal of fun since its mechanics, story, and level design are all well above average. People unfamiliar with Sam Fisher should consider starting with this title, at least until Ubisoft releases the first game’s remake.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Both of Ubisoft’s South Park games are must-play titles for not just fans of the animated show but also anyone interested in turn-based RPGs. Obsidian’s The Stick of Truth got the ball rolling with an authentic adaptation that expertly captured the look and humor of the source material. The 2014 game is on Ubisoft Connect and should be the starting point for someone who has not played either of these releases.
2017’s South Park: The Fractured but Whole builds splendidly on its predecessor, fine-tuning the combat system to create a campaign that is more consistently great. Narratively, the sequel focuses on the superhero movie industry, parodying the genre’s stories along with its creation process. While not an especially novel concept, The Fractured but Whole does a good job of making it seem fresh.
Zombi
ZombiU was one of the Wii U’s stronger third-party exclusives, and that version remains the definitive way to experience this project. Eventually, Ubisoft ported the game to other consoles and PC, tweaking a few mechanics that originally revolved around the Wii U’s GamePad. While these changes hardly broke the game, they made Zombi a more ordinary and forgettable package. That said, this is still a perfectly enjoyable open-world game.
Ubisoft+ and Ubisoft Connect are not exactly overflowing with horror titles, and Zombi holds up better than something like Cold Fear. Players are dropped into post-apocalyptic London and told to survive, a task they are not initially well-equipped to handle.
Heroes Of Might And Magic 3: Complete
Ubisoft Connect has a bunch of Heroes of Might and Magic games, including classics from the ’90s and modern releases. Most entries are, at the bare minimum, playable; however, Heroes of Might and Magic 3 goes far beyond just that. Released in 1999, this title expanded on the extremely solid foundations of its predecessor to become one of the greatest turn-based strategy games of all time. This was true when Heroes of Might and Magic 3 debuted, and it remains the case more than two decades later.
Heroes of Might and Magic 3’s gameplay, art style, and depth are still impressive today, offering content that could keep someone engaged for potentially years. The complete edition comes with the base game and its two expansions, which are very good in their own right.
