Anyone who wanted to play Ubisoft games on PC right when they came out had to try the game and buy it either directly from the Ubisoft Store or the Epic Games Store – because the Steam version was always coming a long time ago. But now Ubisoft has decided to change that.
Ubisoft is fully committed to Steam once again
