Watch Dogs: Legion is currently experiencing a bit of a boost since being added to Microsoft's ever-popular subscription service, Xbox Game Pass. Having been released in late 2020, Watch Dogs: Legion was part of Ubisoft's triple-threat of big open-world releases in the same Fall 2020 window alongside Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Immortals Fenix Rising.
Despite implementing the never-before-seen "play as anyone" feature, in which players were able to recruit and play as quite literally any NPC in the London-set game world, Watch Dogs: Legion unfortunately didn't do well critically or commercially.
Three weeks ago, Microsoft added Watch Dogs: Legion to Xbox Game Pass, and it seems like the game is experiencing a surge of players flocking in to try it out five years after its initial launch.
While it's surely nice for fans of the series to see Watch Dogs topping Game Pass charts and garnering attention in the gaming world, this newfound buzz surrounding the game is unlikely to get Ubisoft to reconsider its rumored shelving of the franchise and green-light a fourth game.
The outcome of the massive feudal Japan-set Assassin's Creed title could help decide the fate of Ubisoft, which, up to this point, has reportedly been exploring options such as selling off some of its IPs or considering a buyout from Chinese conglomerate Tencent
