Ubisoft: Ubisoft may add Far Cry 6, other new games to Steam – Times of India

Assassin’s Creed maker Ubisoft may be planning to expand its latest games to another platform. The game development studio has reportedly announced that it will add a few new titles to Steam in the coming months. According to a report by PCGamer, the company is planning to add games like Far Cry 6, Riders Republic, Rainbow Six Extraction and Monopoly Madness to the Valve-owned game streaming platform.
The report claims that these games may arrive on Steam on May 11, June 8, June 15 and June 22, respectively. These four titles are already available on the desktop. PC gamers can buy these games via Epic Games Store or Ubisoft’s Connect marketplace.
Ubisoft’s plans for Steam
Ubisoft started releasing its game in late 2022 after being absent from the platform for nearly three years. The company added Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Anno 1800 to Steam in 2022. In 2023, Ubisoft rolled out other games like The Division 2 and Watch Dogs: Legion and a few other games on Steam. These titles weren’t previously available on the Valve-owned platform.
The company has to pay Valve up to a 30% cut of sales for every game they sell through Steam. The game developer claimed that it decided not to release new games on Steam as pre-orders for The Division 2 increased by six times on its storefront.

Marking its return to the game streaming platform, Ubisoft has said that the company is “constantly evaluating how to bring our games to different audiences wherever they are.” This statement suggests that the size of Valve’s user base is larger than that of the Epic Games Store. Moreover, Epic Games also asks the developing studio for a smaller cut of their partnership.
The company has recently rolled out the Ubisoft+ gaming subscription service
For Xbox console users. To access this online gaming streaming service, users need to sign up for the Ubisoft+ Multi Access tier. This subscription costs $17.99 (nearly Rs 1,470) plus tax per month excluding taxes. Ubisoft’s game streaming service is available in multiple countries which includes India and the US.
