Ubisoft has announced it’s combining its long-running Uplay and the Ubisoft Club services into one free uber-service, called Ubisoft Connect, which will support cross-play and cross-progression for a raft of upcoming games.
Ubisoft Connect, which the publisher describes as an “ecosystem of players services for Ubisoft games across all platforms”, will launch alongside Watch Dogs Legion on 29th October, and offers a combination of loyalty scheme and community features.
Similar to the current Ubisoft Club, Connect will enable players to earn various rewards as they work their way through their purchased games. “It’s very simple!”, explains the publisher on its FAQ, “Your Ubisoft Account has a level, which can increase by completing challenges and earning Ubisoft Connect XP. The more you play, the more you earn XP and level up”.
