Ubisoft Will Help Stadia Gamers Bring Their Ubisoft Games to PC

gamerant.com:

Ubisoft has announced that it will allow gamers who purchased Ubisoft titles on Google’s Stadia cloud gaming platform to transfer them to PC. The news comes following the announcement that Google will be shutting down the Stadia service in January 2023. Several of Ubisoft’s most popular titles had been available for purchase on the cloud streaming service, including entries from the Far Cry franchise along with multiple Assassin’s Creed titles.

Launched in November of 2019, Google’s Stadia service allows gamers to stream PC titles from a variety of publishers directly to their web browser or one of Google’s Chromecast devices. Prior to the launch of Stadia, many gamers were excited by the prospect of a tech juggernaut like Google entering the cloud gaming space, with hopes that having the technical and financial backing of such a powerful company could help make cloud gaming a viable option. Although Stadia received praise for its streaming technology, offering lower latency than many competitors, it ultimately never took off with gamers and Google announced that it would be shutting down the service in early 2023.

Google Stadia Storefront Already Removed

In a tweet from Ubisoft’s official player support account, the company announced that they are working to allow gamers who purchased Ubisoft titles through Google Stadia to transfer those purchases to Ubisoft Connect. Ubisoft Connect is the publisher’s attempt at creating a one-stop shop for gamers across multiple platforms, offering a PC game storefront similar to Steam or the Epic Games Store alongside cloud streaming and in-game items. No details were provided on how the transfer process will work, with the tweet promising that specific details would come later.
