Industry insider and XboxEra podcast co-host, Shpeshal Ed, has heavily implied that Watch Dogs: Legion could be making its way to Xbox Game Pass soon.
In a recent tweet, Ed shared a fairly vague comments, but emphasised three words: Game, Passes, and Legion. This has sparked many commenters to put two and two together, including popular Xbox YouTuber, Rand Al Thor.
It’s entirely possible this could be nothing more than a innocent tease, but Ed has previously been right on leaks. Most recently, he correctly revealed that Final Fantasy VII Remake would be heading into PlayStation Plus before it’s official announcement. He was also one of the first to confirm existence of leaked Elden Ring footage earlier this week. While we say take it with a pinch of salt for now, it could be very plausible rumour.

If this ends up actually happening, that would be great. I know it's generally considered to be a disappointment, but I've been tempted to buy it recently since it's only $25. Obviously free is better.
Is the story of legion new or a continuation of watchdogs 1 and 2? I haven’t played any watch dogs games yet.
Gamepass or not, this game needs a 60fps mode
@Spaceman-Spiff I’ll agree with you there. Playing this on my XSX in 30 felt horrible.
Well, if you like to read into Phil Spencer's background shelf collection that were all potentially placed for hints, he did have that Watch Dogs Legion statue sitting there.
People assumed it was hinting at Ubisoft joining Game Pass, but looks like it could be more of a hint at WDL joining instead.
If this is true, makes you wonder about the rest of the stuff that was on his shelf.
Well there want my comment on how there hasn't been a ubisoft game on gamepass since it started. Maybe instead of gamepass Maybe he ment Games with gold
This tit for tat outdoing each other between Sony and MS is great. Sony this year giving Control ultimate edition, Final Fantasy 7 remake on plus, Ratchet and Clank for free - so MS respond with Watch Dogs Legion on GP. I'll just sit back and let them both out do themselves and reap the rewards.....
Definitely the sort of game I'd play on Game Pass(or buy for under a tenner) but not buy on launch. Happy to get it just for the graphics.
I wouldn’t be surprised. Seems a common thing recently. Xbox discount/deep discounts and then onto GamePass.
@StonyKL
Yep.
As an owner of both consoles, I'm loving it. This is why we always need good and healthy competition.
Then we as gamers reap the rewards!
I recently got Watchdogs: Legion as part of my PS5 bundle (along with CoD and Cyberpunk) and still haven't been interested in playing it. If it comes to GP, I doubt I will bother to download and play.
Of course its great to see 3rd Party AAA games that are less than 6months old coming to Game Pass. It makes GP look more current and potentially a better value proposition to those who haven't yet subscribed.
@TrueAssassin86x I think that's the point: it would mean the start of a potentially much bigger collaboration between xbox, game pass and Ubisoft, depending on the result of this release.
That would be a good move, only way I would play the game.
