Which editions include Ranked and Siege Cup?
Ubisoft’s comparison lists Ranked and Siege Cup for Elite, Ultimate and Ubisoft+ Premium. Free Access lists Quick Match and Unranked, but does not list Ranked or Siege Cup. If access to those modes is the deciding factor, compare the exact offer for your platform before purchasing.
What changes between Elite and Ultimate?
Elite Edition
Elite includes 16 Operators from Years 1 and 2, in addition to the base game and base Operators. It also lists Ranked and Siege Cup alongside Quick Match and Unranked.

Ultimate Edition
Ultimate lists 52 Operators from Years 1 through 10, the same four modes, and The Disruptor Pack. Ubisoft’s comparison does not describe the pack’s individual contents, so confirm those details on the store listing if they matter to you.
Is Ubisoft+ Premium the same as Ultimate?
For the items shown in Ubisoft Help’s comparison, yes: both list the base game, base Operators, 52 Year 1–10 Operators, Quick Match, Unranked, Ranked, Siege Cup and The Disruptor Pack. The important distinction is the offer type: Ubisoft+ Premium is presented as a subscription edition. The edition comparison does not establish current renewal, billing or access terms, so read the subscription terms at checkout rather than assuming they match a one-time purchase.
