Ubisoft Store Presents 2023 Holiday Gift Guide

It's giving season, and amidst an endless sea of sales, finding the perfect gift can be tough. Whether you're shopping for yourself, friends, or family, the Ubisoft Store has what you need, and this guide can help you figure out the best game to get based on what types of games they like to play.

QUESTION THE STATUS QUO

Games for those who like to question authority and overthrow tyrannical regimes.

In Assassin's Creed Mirage, you take on the role of Basim, a young street thief who embarks on a journey to become a Master Assassin. As you progress through the ranks of the Hidden Ones, you'll explore ninth-century Baghdad as you unmask and eliminate members of the Order of the Ancients - and discover the truth the Hidden Ones are hiding from you.

Other games with similar themes include Watch Dogs Legion, in which you must fight with the hacker group DedSec against the cTos system in London; Far Cry 6, where you join the guerilla revolution to overthrow Yara's dictator; and Beyond Good and Evil, where the planet Hillys needs saving from the DomZ aliens who have taken over. 

EXPLORATION PLAYGROUNDS

Games for those who like a challenge as they navigate their environment.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown invites you to fight your way through the cursed Mount Qaf. As the warrior Sargon, you'll use well-timed platforming skills and time-altering powers to defeat corrupted enemies and take down mythical beasts. Releasing on January 15, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is the perfect platformer to pre-order for a holiday present.

If you love exploring challenges as much as combat, you can also help Mario and his Rabbid friends eradicate Darkmess in the turn-based Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope; help Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies save the Glade of Dreams in Rayman Legends; and help the princess Aurora defeat her evil stepmother in Child of Light.

THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER

Games for those who like to do their own thing

The open seas beckon in Skull and Bones, where you can create your own destiny as you build your reputation from outcast to kingpin. Set on the Indian Ocean during the Golden Age of Piracy, you choose where to go and what contracts to accept, all while customizing your ship to make you a powerhouse of naval combat. Releasing in 2024, Skull and Bones is now available for pre-order for those looking to make a name for themselves on the high seas.

For more giant open worlds to explore, check out The Crew Motorfest, where you can race your way across the island O'ahu and pick which playlists to complete; Riders Republic, which makes the US National Parks your own personal extreme sports playground; and Anno 1800, where you can build an empire from scratch.

FIGHT IT OUT

Games for those who like to gear up and prove their tactical acumen

Rainbow Six Siege is a fast-paced, 5v5 tactical shooter that pits Attackers against Defenders in scenarios that range from hostage rescue to bomb diffusion. Each Operator comes with a unique ability and gadget that has the potential to change the outcome of a match - if your opponent doesn't see it coming.

For other tactical combat games, fight for survival and take out rogue Wolves in Ghost Recon Breakpoint; help the SHD eliminate threats and restore order post-collapse in The Division 2; or get a little weird with the cactus-slinging, fish-slapping, traffic-dodging chaos of OddBallers.

Sometimes we all deserve a little treat, so if the person you're shopping for is yourself, or if you're having a hard time choosing only one game, consider a Ubisoft+ subscription. Not only will you get access to every game listed here - including early access to Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and day-one access to Skull and Bones - you'll get access to a library of premium editions, as well as monthly in-game cosmetic rewards.

If you're shopping for someone else and still aren't sure what to get them, try a digital gift card from the Ubisoft Store. You can choose a custom amount and put in a personalized message, and they can be used to pre-order games like Skull and Bones and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
