Keeping tabs on the old and bringing in some new, Ubisoft had plenty to share at E3 this year. Whether you’ve played a few titles here and there or have an ongoing collection, players will now be able to play all of Ubisoft’s offerings plus get early access to new releases, bonus content, and more with Uplay+. Similar to Xbox Game Pass or EA Access, this subscription service will cost $14.99 a month for PC and Google Stadia starting September 3. To help you get through E3 quickly, we’ve condensed their press conference.

Watch Dogs: Legion
Fight against authoritarianism and taser people as a grandma in Watch Dogs: Legion. Instead of the usual male protagonist, Legion lets you play as anyone. NPCs aren’t mindless robots placed throughout the game to make it feel populated, but rather serve a purpose. Each person has a skillset and special traits that you can leverage to help the cause. Players will be able to enjoy four-player co-op with shared progression whether they’re playing solo or online. It’s coming March 6 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Google Stadia. Bonus points if you have a grandma gang.
