Ubisoft's Shift Back to Steam
Ubisoft has made a surprising announcement that Assassin's Creed Shadows, originally delayed, will launch on Steam on February 14, 2025, marking a pivotal change in the company's approach to game releases. Previously, Ubisoft avoided Steam, but with this new strategy, they will deliver games directly on the platform at launch instead of delaying their availability.
The New Release Strategy
- Assassin's Creed Shadows is set to debut on Steam as part of Ubisoft's return to immediate availability, which has not been seen in years.
- In addition, exciting news of Star Wars: Outlaws coming to Steam on November 21 adds to the anticipation of more day-one releases.
- Despite these shifts, players may still need to navigate the Ubisoft Connect launcher to access their games.
For those following Kotaku's updates, Ubisoft seems committed to revitalizing their support for Steam while balancing the usage of their own launcher.
