Ubisoft games on Steam may soon no longer require the pesky Connect launcher, according to an announcement post that's weirdly tough to pin down Connecting the dots Ubisoft are planning to start testing a new tool that'll allow Prince of Persia The Lost Crown Steam players to access features only usually available via the publishers' Connect launcher without actually having to have said launcher installed. That's according to a Steam announcement post which only appears to be visible to folks who already own a copy of The Lost Crown on Valve's storefront. According to a version of the alleged post shared on Reddit, which I've yet to be able to very for myself despite scouring various bits of Steam for evidence of it, Ubisoft are using The Lost Crown to start "testing a new Ubisoft Connect Services Steam tool that keeps Ubisoft game features such as cross-progression, cross-play, player safety, challenges and rewards, among others, without requiring the Ubisoft Connect PC launcher to be installed or launched." "This first version is an initial step toward a smoother and more streamlined launch experience on Steam," the post continued. Ubisoft Connect Services will progressively evolve and roll out to more Ubisoft games on Steam in the future." Finally another launcher out of steam by u/NostalgiaKeeper007 in Steam I've reached out to Ubisoft for comment.
