While there have been many potential scenarios discussed, today we have only confirmed that we designed Xbox One to enable our customers to trade in and resell games at retail.

Beyond that, we have not confirmed any specific scenarios.

Another piece of clarification around playing games at a friend’s house – should you choose to play your game at your friend’s house, there is no fee to play that game while you are signed in to your profile.

Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs is one of the most anticipated titles of the year, and today we’re thrilled to announce that this exciting open-world action game will be available this year on Xbox One.

In Watch Dogs, players take control of Aiden Pearce, a vigilante hacker on a mission to bring justice to those who wronged him. Using his technological prowess, he’ll take control of Chicago’s networks, devices, and infrastructure to turn the city itself into his weapon.

Created by Ubisoft Montreal, the same studio behind Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry 3, Watch Dogs is shaping up to be one of the most exciting additions to our next-generation lineup.

Stay tuned for more Watch Dogs and Xbox One updates in the coming months!

Pre-Order Watch Dogs now. GameStop  Amazon
