Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the difference between Ubisoft Connect and Uplay?
- Uplay was the original name. Ubisoft Connect is the rebranded platform that merged Uplay and Ubisoft Club rewards into a unified launcher. All existing Uplay accounts were automatically migrated to Ubisoft Connect.
- Can I play Ubisoft games through Steam if I bought a Ubisoft Connect key?
- No, Ubisoft Connect keys are separate from Steam. However, some games purchased on Steam still require Ubisoft Connect to launch — Steam will prompt you to link your Ubisoft account during the first launch.
- My Ubisoft Connect key says it's region locked. What does this mean?
- Some keys are restricted to specific regions (e.g., Europe only). Make sure your Ubisoft account region matches the key's region. You can check your account region in Ubisoft Connect settings under Account Information.
