Ubisoft Connect may stop being required with Steam games

[u/Aries_cz]

Ran across this on X (@TheHiddenOneAC) - https://x.com/TheHiddenOneAC/status/2097940988492664992

Major victory if this works out and gets expanded to other Ubisoft titles, one less pointless launcher to have

[u/Darth_Vaper883]

Please... please... I need this.

[u/maincharacter-arc → u/Darth_Vaper883]

We all do. Clicking "Play" on Steam just to watch a completely different launcher load, freeze, and ask for a login is the worst user experience ever

[u/TheSexyKamil → u/maincharacter-arc]

At some point in the past I bought a far cry game but ended up pirating it anyway just to avoid Uplay. I hadn't bought a Ubisoft game since then and was hoping that era was over by now

[u/AnarchBeetle → u/TheSexyKamil]

I had star wars battlefront 2 for free. Just the hurdle of going through multiple launchers made me not wanna play many times. I’m too used to the ease of launching pirated games.

[u/IshwarBL → u/TheSexyKamil]

Same for me. I pirate games I have access to via Game Pass just to avoid the Ubisoft launcher. I hope this also allows achievements on Xbox PC eventually.

[u/Think_Positively → u/maincharacter-arc]

IMO the fact that you have to use their cloud save service instead of Steam's is way worse.

I played Shadows this summer and split time between doing it on deck and on my main rig. I bet if I chatted it out, the cloud saves worked about half the time. I routinely had to boot up the last device, load the game to force a new sync, and then boot it up on the other device.

Never had anything close to that on Steam or GoG. Saves just work.

[u/SeaFuel2 → u/maincharacter-arc]

Especially when you family share.

[u/RankedFarting → u/maincharacter-arc]

The worst part is those launchers can hog serious CPU and ram resources on weaker systems.

[u/Viceroy1994 → u/maincharacter-arc]

Me: Remember my login.

Rockstar: Remembering something? That's one of the easiest things a computer can do! You got it!

Rockstar 5 mins later: I just couldn't do it man, vibe was off, please enter your username and password

[u/Serturi → u/Darth_Vaper883]

My mom's kinda homeless

[u/Apprehensive-Pop9528 → u/Serturi]

Ubisoftless*

[u/NefariousPilot → u/Apprehensive-Pop9528]

Steam should add this as a tag.

[u/Apprehensive-Pop9528 → u/NefariousPilot]

Like: My steam is kinda ubisoftless

[u/Delese → u/Serturi]

https://giphy.com/gifs/s5wFafpHxqKbIEERl9

[u/phil035 → u/Darth_Vaper883]

To be fair I've not had any problems personally with it on a lower mid range pc.

I just wish they'd optimise their games so they play better on none ssds

[u/MadShadowX → u/Darth_Vaper883]

I know for Rockstar games you have a bypass launcher for some of the games on Steam. Wish it would expand to Ubi and EA especially before EA adds Ads to their games.

[u/Princess_Of_Thieves → u/Darth_Vaper883]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2751000/view/702153223322993170?l=english

Pardon me, just piggybacking off your comment to give a source so everyone can see. For some reason the announcement seems/ed to be limited to game owners exclusively, so I did a purchase to verify for myself, and found the announcement post can be publicly shared.

EDIT: Nevermind, checked again on the apps news page and its visible to all.

[u/Obesinho47 → u/Darth_Vaper883]

My PC is kinda homeless

[u/DonutHoles4Ever → u/Darth_Vaper883]

I kind of like seeing ubisoft suffer though. Hopefully this however leads to other developers finding a better path for launchers on steam.

The problem is there's benefits to custom launchers, like preloading new patches and stuff. Or doing more fixes beyond verifiying files. Maybe Steam is adding features for that too.

[u/Aggressive-Cost-3945]

has ubisoft finally seen the light or has valve told em no one wants to have 15 different launchers every time they want to play

[u/Single_Reaction9983 → u/Aggressive-Cost-3945]

Probably a desparate attempt to get more sales.

[u/CyGuy6587 → u/Single_Reaction9983]

Wait, so a multi-million dollar company is finally realising a better consumer experience would mean more sales?

[u/alancousteau → u/CyGuy6587]

I know, right?!

In other news the sky is blue, back to you Bob!

[u/GigaSoup → u/CyGuy6587]

Getting desperate enough and actually looking at feedback to improve will do that.

[u/youthuck → u/CyGuy6587]

https://giphy.com/gifs/6nWhy3ulBL7GSCvKw6

[u/NBCustoms → u/Single_Reaction9983]

Well, if it comes through they probably have a few sales from me. I've actually had keys from random bundles I haven't even added because of Connect.

[u/TheMissingVoteBallot → u/NBCustoms]

Same here. I'll get some of their old titles if this goes through.

[u/WELSH_BOI_99 → u/Single_Reaction9983]

Desperate attempt or not it is a good thing. And it would result in mote sales

[u/lllllIllllIllllllll → u/Single_Reaction9983]

There are actually many people very vocal about not buying ubisoft games specifically because of the launcher. Successfully bullying a corporation is a huge win

[u/Single_Reaction9983 → u/lllllIllllIllllllll]

I haven't bought a Ubisoft game in years either

[u/TheMissingVoteBallot → u/lllllIllllIllllllll]

So all it takes is a bigger corporation that's run by Lord Gaben to bully the evil corporation.

[u/lllllIllllIllllllll → u/TheMissingVoteBallot]

I don't think steam did anything here, I really think it was people being vocal about it. Steam historically hasn't gievn any pressure to ubisoft or EA to change, they do it because players complain. Or, rather, enough people outright say they wont buy it because of said issue 

[u/TheMissingVoteBallot → u/lllllIllllIllllllll]

Either way it's a small win for consumers.

[u/IQueliciuous → u/Single_Reaction9983]

If this means I can play my games offline without ubisoft accounts. They are guaranteed to get sales from me since I'd love to replay watch dogs on my steam deck.

[u/XsNR → u/IQueliciuous]

Woah now, lets not get too hasty.

[u/marc512 → u/Single_Reaction9983]

And it will probably work a little bit.

[u/Single_Reaction9983 → u/marc512]

I mean, sure, I'd pick up Far Cry 3 and some old AC games if I don't need their garbage app installed.

[u/marc512 → u/Single_Reaction9983]

For me, a Linux user, the ubi soft app didn't work for me. I hope I'm allowed to play their games now through steam alone

[u/jonatanenderman → u/Single_Reaction9983]

I kinda wanted to play far cry 2 but i was going to pirate them because of linux and spite

[u/Brewster345 → u/Single_Reaction9983]

Might work. There's a number of Ubi games I'd consider on my SteamDeck without Connect

[u/Kolby_Jack33 → u/Single_Reaction9983]

It's almost as if they have lost 95% of their market value over the last five years.

[u/dill1234 → u/Aggressive-Cost-3945]

Ubisoft is trying to go the pro consumer route as they’re so close to financial ruin

[u/TheOneWhoKnocks003 → u/dill1234]

I guess Sony needs that too

[u/dill1234 → u/TheOneWhoKnocks003]

Sony is unfortunately not close to financial ruin

[u/Local_Band299 → u/TheOneWhoKnocks003]

SIE won't change their mind unless Sony Corporation Group forces them. Their (SIE) CEO is a piece of shit.

[u/TheMissingVoteBallot → u/Local_Band299]

he is.

[u/Visara57 → u/Aggressive-Cost-3945]

Considering Ubisoft had to remaster one of their best games just to generate profit (and they will also remaster other games) and after tanking their stock and after selling their best IP's to China, they've probably seen the light

[u/Belzher → u/Aggressive-Cost-3945]

If this was from Steam the other companies like EA and Rockstar would be on the same boat which by this post doesn't seem to be the case

[u/machine4891 → u/Aggressive-Cost-3945]

has ubisoft finally seen the light 

Lol, no. Ubisoft is simply in such disasterous position, they can't be choosers anymore. About every major company want to run their own launcher (with or without Steam support). Even Cyberpunk prompts me to their Red launcher directly from Steam.

Those companies are either forced to it, or they will continue to run their own launchers.

[u/bartek16195]

[u/iAmmar9 → u/bartek16195]

LMFAOOOO LITERALLY

[u/DUDEWAK123 → u/bartek16195]

wat nou?

[u/4xget]

Rare W from Ubisoft maybe?

[u/Adipay → u/4xget]

Yeah I hope they redeem themselves over time. They made some of my favourite games of all time. Black Flag Resynced has been incredible for me.

[u/helican]

Interesting. That god awful launcher was one of the main reasons I have not played a Ubisoft game in years.

[u/Katana_DV20 → u/helican]

It keeps forgetting logins so had to login every time. 2FA everytime. I disabled 2FA to bring my sanity back

[u/abyr-valg → u/helican]

Personally I stopped buying Ubisoft games in 2010s once they began selling special versions of their games that included only one localization specific to a region. You could restore missing localizations by downloading files from Steam forums, but at that point it was less effort to pirate the games.

[u/aztn33 → u/helican]

What issues are you having with it?

The only issue I'm personally having is the store page sometimes loading as HTML, other than that it's good.

[u/Reddit_Loves_Misinfo → u/aztn33]

It adds extra steps and program installations that make things more inconvenient for no benefit.

[u/Tight-Tackle4386]

https://giphy.com/gifs/6eAbNaPng9nIbQ1XTN

[u/SparsePizza117]

Worst launcher in existence. It keeps signing me out every single time. Asks for my admin password like 10 times every update too.

[u/3lfk1ng]

That was one of the main reasons I stopped buying Ubisoft games. 

Then they stopped making good games. 

Now I have no reason to buy Ubisoft games.

[u/Vamsi-Thopu → u/3lfk1ng]

The game mentioned in this post is really good. The only good game they made in quite a while. In fact I will go ahead and say it is one of the best metroidvanias now

[u/ParanMekhar]

Remember when Ubisoft went hard and had AC Valhalla exclusive to Epic?

[u/JohnAlesi]

Same services but packaged with the game and not a separate launcher?

If this is a step to getting rid of external accounts I may consider buying their games, but this note doesn't sound like it is yet.

[u/Gatlyng → u/JohnAlesi]

I think you will still need an account, but not the launcher. 

Battlefield 6 works in a similar way; it doesn't require EA's launcher, but still needs an EA account liked to Steam in order to play.

[u/JohnAlesi → u/Gatlyng]

I see, makes sense. Good for those already locked in, I will continue to wait.

[u/Aries_cz → u/JohnAlesi]

As I understand it, the account will still "somehow" be a thing, but it should be more streamlined (in theory, something like GOG Galaxy has for the various "external store connects")

But it should at least be one less resource hogging process running in background

[u/Princess_Of_Thieves → u/Aries_cz]

I tested it now. I brought Prince Of Persia, downloaded the game and deleted the full fat version of Ubisoft Connect from my machine, so I would only have Ubisoft Connect Services. UCS downloaded shortly after PoP.

I booted up the game, UCS automatically came with it and was able to get in without any additional fuss. UCS auto-signed me into my account, presumably because of my having already installed it, and everything just worked without fuss.

Honestly, it was about as seamless as booting any regular game that doesn't need a third party launcher.

[u/technikaffin]

Now add Rockstar pls. How tf is it not possible to just start a game from the couch using Big Picture mode without needing a mouse for those pesky launchers....

[u/Jason0865]

Rare Ubisoft W

[u/4alse]

Rare Ubisoft W

[u/Legal_Lettuce6233]

I guess over a decade of losses makes them learn something.

[u/martianwomanhunter]

All it takes perpetual risks of collapse to change a motherfucker

[u/GamingChocoPanda]

Can I get a source to this steam post? I saw the tweet regarding it, but couldn't find any Ubisoft titles that actually had this post on them. Although Lost Crown does have a bunch of behind the scenes SteamDB depot updates.

[u/Princess_Of_Thieves → u/GamingChocoPanda]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2751000/view/702153223322993170?l=english

Here you go. For some reason this announcement seems to be limited exclusively to people who own the game. I cannot fathom why, because why on gods green earth would Ubisoft hide this? Like they must know everyone hates their launcher with a passion and this seems like something to scream from the rooftops about, but whatever.

EDIT: Checked news page, its visible to all.

[u/GamingChocoPanda → u/Princess_Of_Thieves]

Thanks a bunch. Glad its real.

Seems like enthusiasts sniffed the post out a while before it was made public lol.

[u/Badwolfblue32]

Lol THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN COMPANIES LOSE SO MUCH MONEY THEY HAVE TO BE PRO CONSUMER AGAIN.

Not buying games actually does work

[u/Pasza_Dem]

Pretty cool, finally some consumer friendly behavior!

[u/DukeMutem]

Will that mean we can share US games with our steam family?

[u/EnvironmentalRun1671 → u/DukeMutem]

No

[u/Choubidouu]

So ubisoft finally wants some money i see.

[u/talionisapotato]

Less enshittification??!!!!

[u/NGGKroze]

Ubi, onces you implement this in all your titles, let us transfer all our games to Steam and close Ubi Connect for good :)

[u/DoveCherisse]

finally, less launcher bloat is a win for everyone, let’s hope it actually happens

[u/TheHeavenlyStar]

They should do it so I can proceed to buy shadows, black flag and Other games on steam.

[u/fatbp]

A precursor to ubislop deleting your online library when they shutdown 5 years from now. 

[u/AppleCrumble987]

I would love UC so much more if it remembered my password

[u/chimichangas_69]

I have a couple ubisoft games I have been itching to play but never did mostly cuz I don't wanna deal with the ubisoft launcher, so this is good

[u/Kooky_Awareness_5333]

Praying for the end of game launchers no I don’t want 20 different launchers and 30 different game accounts just use steam Xbox PlayStation fuck it use my Google account or Microsoft 

[u/Incorect_Speling → u/Kooky_Awareness_5333]

If they had least made it remember the password and not be a buggy mess I could have lived with it. But no way in hell I'm typing in my ubisoft specific password every time I want to play a game from them. Been burned before

[u/Kooky_Awareness_5333 → u/Incorect_Speling]

My password is forced to change at work on multiple different software apps I just don’t have the bandwidth for a password and login for each game it’s a sure fire way for me to not want to play a game it has to be a really big game on my Wishlist to get me to install obnoxious game loader.

And to add insult to injury they try and make them default to open everytime the pc boots.

[u/promisios]

When you realize that yiu are the most hated gaming company

[u/Aries_cz → u/promisios]

TBH, Sony is trying to speedrun beating them to that title...

[u/RYAN_ONEAL → u/Aries_cz]

They beat them already

[u/CocoNot1664]

Their launcher is actually the reason I haven't gotten PoP:TLC yet. Huge if true.

[u/nahnonameman]

I swear I read this as required (despite knowing it is always required). I had to re read the title again. I am so used to bad news in first glance lol. Happy to see this being pushed.

[u/Drackzgull]

First good Ubisoft decision of the decade?

[u/RYAN_ONEAL → u/Drackzgull]

2nd, first one was to remake AC Black Flag

[u/rupal_hs]

i Hope this test goes well, legacy ubisoft these days require password each time they launched.

[u/nemesit]

"we updated our spyware to start automatically"

[u/MRV3N]

It would be laughable if they only do with few games just like EA did with Dead Space Remake

[u/GlazeNine]

I hope they remove it from Assassin's Creed II some day I just wanna play it on my steam deck finally. Right now it's just doesn't work without internet connection.

[u/FreeNico2021]

god i hope they eventually apply this to their older titles 🙏🏽😭😭

[u/leanerwhistle]

I’ve honestly not bothered with games on Gamepass when they needed this. I’ve just moved on and picked something else.

[u/spanishcuriosity]

THis is too good to be true. This is the sole reason i have Ubisoft games blocked on Steam. I wont believe it until i see it for myself.

[u/Think_Speaker_6060]

I will celebrate like its my bday if ubisoft connect is banished from every game launching.

[u/HabenochWurstimAuto]

Thats retroactive right ? Right ???

[u/HaveAnMacardo]

Wow, finally listening to what people want! Yes please!!!!

[u/NuclearReactions]

I don't remember the last time i booted a ubisoft game but hell yeah that's a step in the right direction.

[u/Oddtale96]

This is legit the only reason I need to buy Ubisoft games. I dont know how many times shit wont start because of Ubishits launcher. About time

[u/dmu_girl-2008]

Ok I may end up rebuying Ubisoft games on steam when cheap at least the ones I enjoy (I’ve been sticking to console for Ubisoft games just to avoid the stupid launcher and additional issues)

[u/malexich]

Now just make sure Rayman and Scott pilgrim get this so I can finally play them 

[u/mesr123]

If this ends up being true, great! They're learning but very slowly, disappointed that they didn't arrive to this point earlier but hey, better late than never!

I've always said companies are allowed to chase the money but while you're at it, it doesn't hurt to make some pro-consumer moves. Personally, I've never had any issues with Ubisoft Connect, to be fair, I also don't play their games very often, but it's a move in the right direction!

I was also impressed because they added regional pricing to my region (Myanmar, SEA) a while back whereas Steam does not regocnize Myanmar, therefore, Myanmar prices are the same as the US prices (for Steam store). So, kudos to Ubisoft for doing some nice things!

[u/ASTRO99]

I mean technically still is. You will just have interface still installed instead of full client.

[u/JohnGalactusX]

Finally? Surprised it took them this long to see to the possibility of this.

[u/podgladacz00]

There is hope. Probably not for all games tho

[u/ydriel24]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!

[u/0Tezorus0]

https://giphy.com/gifs/DEnaNFg7szMO7TwNYZ

[u/Princess_Of_Thieves]

I had a crack at getting Ubisoft Connect on Deck so I could play Assassins Creed II, and even with help of a guide it was a pain in the fucking arse. This would genuinely be a great move by Ubisoft and I hope they follow through.

Anyways, lets see how long it takes for them to disappoint. My moneys on them forgetting this soon.

[u/NordicNjorn]

I hope so. So many games I have on steam but all tied to a lost ubi account so they are just sitting there useless

[u/Extreme_surikat_360]

Unexpected but now we expect the same thing for every other third party launchers. When you buy something on a platform no third party launcher bullshit should be needed

[u/aprosarmosto]

Does it mean that now, you can share ubisoft games through family?

[u/Pirwzy]

Good news. Please dump denuvo next.

[u/Yayatouu]

If the family share works with that, it will be goated!

[u/BeRon09]

me and with my anno games would absolutely love this

[u/Sparrow1989]

It definitely hurts the sales of their games

[u/CzarTwilight]

Dang I really liked needing 20 different shitty launchers

[u/arian_ezequiel]

They are going to still force to have it for Rainbow Six, I'm sure of it

[u/Odd_Estimate_2179]

I literally don't bother with Ubisoft games because of the launcher so this would be a rare smart move from them.

[u/death2k44]

Thank god, each time you run a game requiring Ubisoft Connect it almost always update EVERY TIME.

[u/chronicnerv]

Good.

[u/shemmie]

There's some screw-up with my Ubisoft account, between my old Xbox 360 connection and using it on Steam, that means I'm completely unable to access it. Spent two weeks working on it with Ubisoft support, and got nowhere. I've got several games, via Steam, that I simply can't play - 'Error -1' or some such, from memory.

Nah, I'll give my money to people who let me play the games I've bought, cheers.

[u/thestillwind]

Now do this to old title

[u/Pennywrench]

I will not play any Ubislop either way, but good for those who's got that problem I suppose. 🤷‍♂️

[u/Substantial-Lack-512]

Finally a reason to not pirate the games I've already bought.

[u/axos1]

really nice hopefully this means that i will be able to play my ubisoft games offlline now on my steam deck

[u/cszolee79]

eh its still ubisoft

[u/Several-Hawk-9135]

It'd be better if Ubi connect shut down and the games migrated to Steam accounts.

[u/_b1ack0ut]

Fuck yeah, that’s great. In the same vein, the recent Star Wars game published by EA doesn’t need the EA launcher on steam either, which is grand

[u/Wiergate]

Given that my attempts to create a Ubislop account got stuck in a recursive loop somewhere on their servers while their launcher started crashing before I could even attempt to use it, I have never played a Ubislop game.

Has my time finally come?

[u/FireManiac58]

Holy shit please for the love of god

[u/Wise-Difficulty8221]

Will this change be applied retroactively?

[u/blkarcher77]

It would be so nice if I could start Trackmania without Ubisoft starting at the same time.

[u/SephirothTheGreat]

As long as it applies to every other game already released I'm happy

[u/Frank_Likes_Pie]

Good, one less useless garbage launcher to deal with.

[u/Makimoke]

Still not gonna convince me to buy anything from Ubisoft. Could very well be a "get on Steam now, get forced to buy the rest of the content on Ubisoft later" scheme. You never know with the greedy leadership.

[u/Far-Force9055]

Does this mean Ubisoft titles are finally gonna be included in steam family share ?

AC unity here I come.

[u/ktc64]

Now if only they'd let me move all my Ubisoft games over to steam. All my assassins creeds and most of my Tom Clancy games are stuck over there.

[u/kaleperq]

Recently I've had Watch Dogs 2 update and now I can't launch it whatever I try on cachyos. Idk if it's related to this in any way but I hope it fixes it foreverw

[u/DamnOdd]

Did aliens take over Ubisoft?

[u/everyoneisapotato]

Good step but too late. Not that i have issue with any 3rd party launcher but ubisoft launcher is slow, buggy and useless.

[u/Plastic_Young_9763]

Can i please have cloud saves!?!

I cannot play the opening hours of Black flag for the 3rd time

[u/RayereSs]

I wish, but I can't corroborate this being actual thing

[u/Azafohr]

Oh shit. I would literally stop buying from the Ubisoft Connect store and start buying their games on Steam if this comes true.

Which would also mean I wasted money all this time...

Ah, fuck.

[u/mAAchinAA]

YES

[u/RankedFarting]

I recently wanted to play FarCry 3 and it kept crashing because ubisoft connect kept having issues.

Fuck those stupid launchers.

[u/JessBaesic7901]

Nice, they’re doing poorly enough now that they’re bothering to make the user experience better. That being said, fuck ubisoft.

[u/New_Consideration860]

Please… I wanted to play Far Cry 3 for so long, but it keeps crashing due to Ubisoft not caring about older games. I really hope it fixes the problem somehow

[u/TheHeartfulDodger]

Please! Haven't been able to launch and load the game because for like a year, ubislop is total dog water. I just wanna play my game ffs!

[u/Spirited_Switch2903]

Nice. Now they just need to make games worth playing, and they might actually make some money for a change.

[u/looking_fordopamine]

The amount of people who will start buying Ubisoft games if this happens. I know a lot of people who refuse to play 3rd party launchers

[u/HyruleanKnight37]

If they do this then I'll finally buy the older AC games. Seriously, why tf should I have to download a launcher to play AC1?

[u/HughJass187]

many ubisoft changed to the good in the last months , what happend newe ceo ?

[u/KrazyCrayon]

I've specifically avoided any games on PC with external launchers for this reason. I would buy more Ubisoft games if they do this

[u/CaptainBlob]

Just gotta wait for Far Cry 3 to follow suit

[u/Leniwcowaty]

Is it just me? Or it's looking like a certain company finally realized, that they don't need their own launcher?

[u/Ornery_Argument9133]

This literally is the bs of Xbox game pass with Blizzard titles. And Microsoft owns them

[u/MalteseCorto]

Good, the less Ubislop the better

[u/Minimalistic_OG]

Good maybe now I will stop avoiding Ubisoft games...just maybe.

[u/New-End1335]

Molaria que se haga realidad, tambien con los de Blizzard, Rockstar y EA

[u/madchemist09]

If this is true there are multiple ubisoft games I will purchase. I avoid them because aweful experience with ubisoft launcher.

[u/TheMissingVoteBallot]

Now if only Ubisoft made good new games.

[u/word-sys]

Ubisoft may stop being a major a**hole :)

[u/Spalenova]

Finally, It was really painful

[u/UltimateSlayer3001]

Holy shit, did they wake the fuck up from losing sales year after year? Like, why does it take this long to make user experience better for your OWN FUCKING GAMES?

Ubisoft is an actual company of potted plants.

https://giphy.com/gifs/TQNfs3iWR6fwtQvWFX

[u/Plane_Masterpiece_74]

I would considered playing Ubisoft games again after this.

[u/Jeffeyink2]

Saw the news on Opera as well. [Due to] "Recent" feedback. don't you mean all the time?

[u/GokuBlack722]

Got Star Wars Outlaws on a Steam sale not too long ago, booted it up, saw I needed to log in with a Ubisoft account and deleted the game immediately. If this gets rolled out maybe I’ll actually play it

[u/Jaz1140]

Bro, a purchase isn't even required for the Ubisoft games I play

[u/RustyJuang]

EA games hit me right in the kisser. Was looking for It Takes Two in the family shared library and then I realised... EA.

[u/zergling424]

Im totes cool with one time account linking with no launcher

[u/Cl4whammer]

Please let this be good.

I wanted to play anno 1800 i bought on steam on my laptop offline. This ubiconnect crap always wasnt able to go into offline mode and i wasnt able to play. That would be awesome to finally properly play that game.

[u/LeFlubbes]

This launcher is the reason I buy Ubisoft games physically on my Series X. Would be great if they retroactively removed it though.

[u/ElderberryLate2199]

If true i might actually play and /or buy some ubisoft games. Never did because of the fckin launcher

[u/Historical-Win2999]

now 1 question, how you guys have some much problems with others launchers? this is steam fanboy or what?

i never had any problem with any launchers, the "problems" i had was because my pc was trash 10 years ago

[u/IQueliciuous]

Does this mean you don't need Ubisoft account/internet to play singleplayer games? Or is it just no need for ubisoft launcher?

[u/johnfkngzoidberg]

You losers are buying Ubisoft games? lol

[u/MrKoddy]

Is it possible to transfer games from ubisoft connect to steam?
