Ubisoft hasn't released its games on Steam in years, which is the best interface for PC gaming to date. Despite the company's previous plans not to do so, Ubisoft is preparing to bring some of its games to the store.
It seems our wish is for all of Ubisoft's major games to return to Steam, as it becomes more accessible with the reveal that Ubisoft-published titles such as Anno 1800, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and Roller Champions are all coming to Steam, with Assassin's Creed Valhalla launching on Steam on December 6th.
Anno 1800 was previously available for purchase on Steam in 2019, but was delisted on the store shortly after to make the game an Epic Games Store exclusive.
In a new statement from The Verge, publisher Ubisoft spokesperson Jessica Roache gives us some promising words for these releases, describing the company's move as a way to "bring our games to different audiences wherever they are, while providing a cohesive ecosystem for the player through the Ubisoft Connect platform."
There has been no official confirmation yet on the possibility of bringing more Ubisoft titles to Steam in the future. There has also been no official statement on how Ubisoft plans to support the Steam Deck platform with these games, despite previous statements from Ubisoft executives indicating that such support could come soon.
