Ubisoft returns to Steam with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and other games
It’s been several years now that Ubisoft no longer offers its games on Steam and now the situation will change on December 6 with the arrival ofAssassin’s Creed Valhalla. The game page is already available.
It won’t be the only Ubisoft game to return to Steam, as Eurogamer indicates that titles like Year 1800 and Roller Champions are also about to be launched. Only the last opus ofAssassin’s Creed has a launch date on Steam. Curiously, the same day, Valhalla will receive its final update, concluding the Eivor saga that began two years ago.
Note thatYear 1800 was previously available for purchase on Steam, but only as a pre-order. Although these first pre-orders were honored on Steam, the game was removed from the store at launch and has since only been purchasable on Ubisoft Connect and the Epic Games Store.
Ubisoft isn’t the only major publisher to dabble in Steam’s massive audience, with Electronic Arts returning in 2019. Even Activision-Blizzard decided to release call of duty on the platform alongside Battle.net after a long absence.
While no announcements regarding future Ubisoft titles on PC have yet been made, it will be interesting to see if the company plans to bring its upcoming games to Steam on day one or if the studio will use the platform as a way to double down on its more mature games.
