Over 40 Ubisoft Titles to be Released on Steam

JelalTrueshot | April 01, 2008 | News | PC Company 
Ubisoft and Valve have reached a profitable decision to distribute Ubisoft games on Steam. Not just one or two games, but "over 40"! They are even beginning to take pre-orders for the PC version of Assassin's Creed. This move is a insanely brilliant move on both company's parts. For those of you that don't know, Steam is a digital distribution system created by Valve, the company that developed Half-Life.
Ubisoft is delivering a slate of more than 40 action-packed games to Steam, including Assassin’s Creed and the Tom Clancy series. Two fan favorites are now available to customers in Canada and the United States: the acclaimed action shooter, Far Cry, and the debut game in the groundbreaking stealth action series, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. Save 10% on either game when you buy before Tuesday, April 8th.

Starting today, the PC version of Assassin's Creed is available for pre-purchase. Be one of the first to play the highly-awaited PC adaptation of the console hit—complete with four bonus missions unique to the PC release—when it releases on April 9th.

Over the coming weeks, Ubisoft will bring many of its award-winning brands to Steam, including games from the Tom Clancy series, the Heroes of Might & Magic series, the IL-2 Sturmovik collection, and many more. The Ubisoft line-up on Steam will be the largest library of titles available from any single publisher or developer.

    Steam's digital distribution method is insanely watertight and for the most part quite painless. It's great to see so many companies on board! Go Valve!

    I love Valve almost as much as my weighted companion cube.

    Fantastic, more stuff on Steam. My preferred method of buying games. Painless to buy, install, and I don't need to keep track of discs or anything. And the only instance of DRM I can think of is BioShock, and I doubt after the problems and complaints that ensued any company will do that again. Pointless to have two mechanisms anyway.
