Although Assassin's Creed Shadows won't be available through Xbox Game Pass, at least at launch, there will be a perk for subscribers. Game Pass Ultimate members who purchase Shadows will have have the ability to play the game through Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Most confusingly, the Shadow Projects aren't available right away despite you being able to view them in the menus. It'll take you a good few hours before you're ready to even begin to progress chipping away at them.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a very good Assassin’s Creed game, with one very problematic quality: During the review period, it had a bad habit of rendering itself unplayable from time to time.
