We recently mentioned in PurePC that Electronic Arts, after rebranding its subscription service to EA Play, will abandon Origin to EA Desktop, unifying the nomenclature to combine all players in one EA ecosystem. Now, the competitive Ubisoft will follow the same path, which intends to launch a new service by the end of October, which will integrate users of all hardware platforms. Ubisoft Connect, because we are talking about it, will be the result of combining the Uplay application and the Ubisoft Club loyalty program with rewards for players who will have access to the company’s games on all devices. When can we expect the new app?

Ubisoft Connect aims to be an ecosystem of all gaming services that will replace Uplay and Ubisoft Rewards. It will offer cross-save and cross-play functions and a refreshed loyalty program. The new app will be available from 29 October this year.

Electronic Arts will soon abandon Origin in favor of EA Desktop

Service Ubisoft Connect, which we will be using instead of Uplay, will be available from 29 this October. It will allow you to transfer your progress in Ubisoft games between hardware platforms (so-called cross-save) and for online gameplay between PC users and consoles (so-called cross-play). Unfortunately, at the beginning, the first option will only be offered by five titles (Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Hyper Scape, Riders Republic and Watch Dogs Legion), while the latter only by Watch Dogs Legion, which will receive a free multiplayer mode on December 3. Ubisoft’s next big games are expected to support Ubisoft Connect. In turn, not every older production will be supported (at this address you will find the current list of excluded items). You can read more about Ubisoft Connect in the official FAQ.

UPlay + is over 100 Ubisoft games with subscription for PC and Stadia

Ubisoft Connect will be available on PC, Google Stadia, Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S, PlayStation 4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch, as well as Android and iOS mobile devices. All existing stats, experience levels, points to spend on 20% discount will be kept. On the occasion of the announcement, Ubisoft has released over 1000 digital rewards for free – the rest can be unlocked just like before, i.e. by gaining new experience levels, completing challenges and completing achievements in productions. The loyalty program is to be refreshed and more attractive. Importantly, players will still be able to exchange 100 Units for 20% discount on games purchased directly from the Ubisoft Store.
