Games on the Ubisoft Connect app are not showing up in the Xbox app

Make sure you have the Ubisoft connect app installed, and make sure your Xbox account is linked to your Ubisoft account, then start the Ubisoft connect app, and log in with your Ubisoft account. Close the Ubisoft connect app, and start the Xbox app, then find the Ubisoft game you want to install, and select install on it, it should hopefully launch the Ubisoft connect app and start installing the game.

This also seems to also block updating games through Ubisoft Connect, at least when it has been launched by the XBox app or while that app is running. I noticed that the XBox app was trying to update Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and when I checked the Ubisoft app the play/update button was greyed out, so I had to go back and update within the Xbox app. Note that this game was purchased/installed via Ubisoft long before this Xbox/Ubi partnership existed.

While it might be convenient to have the Ubisoft/GamePass games show up in the Xbox app's library of installed games, I do not appreciate it force launching another app and commandeering its game update process.

i see no point in starting ubisoft games within gamepass app/xbox app when you have to have ubisoft connect installed and all xbox app does is launch the games within the ubisoft app. as with EA games you will not get achievements and it uses the ubisoft servers.

Yes it is still available. If you are trying to install the game on PC, then you need the Xbox app and the Ubisoft Connect PC app installed as well from the Ubisoft website.

Just search for it on the app, then select it to install, and will install from the Ubisoft Connect app for you.

Possibly resolved after latest update to Ubisoft Connect

The Ubi app now doesn't seem to start with the Xbox app and the error message in the Xbox app isnt showing - the Ubi app just launches on demand
