Ubisoft is currently engaged in what we Brits would call a reverse-ferret: After years of releasing its games exclusively on the Epic Store, the publisher has returned to distributing them on Steam. The first game to mark a return to day on…
Following in the footsteps of the Assassin's Creed and Far Cry series, one of Ubisoft's greatest open-world games now has another reason to come back. Watch Dogs 2 Steam achievements have been missing for a long time, but now the publisher …
Attention Dedsec, We are pleased to announce that Steam Achievements are now available for Watch Dogs 2! As a heads up, achievements will be retroactively earned for the accomplishments already completed in your game. For the sync to happen…
It turns out the Watch Dogs movie is in production, and in fact has already wrapped on filming. Much like the Minecraft movie and the Borderlands movie, the Watch Dogs movie has been in the works for about a decade now, though unlike the Mi…
Oh, The Division Heartland, we hardly knew ye. A spin-off from the main multiplayer looter shooter series, Ubisoft has just canceled Heartland to refocus on the upcoming XDefiant and the Rainbow Six series. Nevertheless, an open-world class…
Remember when Ubisoft announced they were working on a movie adaptation of hacking series Watch Dogs, before it was even released? I sure didn’t! Well, allow us both to be reminded of something from over a decade ago, because the Watch Dogs…
Ubisoft's campy cybercrime-o-rama Watch Dogs 2 arrived on Game Pass this week, and it's worth a look. I've been playing Watch Dogs 2 lately myself, by coincidence, and I am enjoying its gang of goofballs who want to stick it to The Man by h…
It's the middle of the month, just about, which means a fresh wave of Xbox Game Pass games, this time around including the best Watch Dogs. A smaller crop than the batch of games that dropped on Game Pass in the first half of the month, but…
Long standing senior developer at Ubisoft Patrick Plourde has left the company after almost 20 years. Plourde announced earlier this week (April 13) that he would be leaving Ubisoft after working at the studio for almost two decades, and ha…
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. I won’t dignify the underscore that is in the official title. Watch Dogs 2 may not have an iconic cap, but you know what it does…
Want to know how many dudes I killed in Watch Dogs 2? Two. No, not two hundred. I mean two, as in the one between one and three. Marcus Holloway's San Francisco-set sandbox elegantly bypasses that old chestnut of ludonarrative dissonance - …
At a glance, there's only a thin line that separates Watch Dogs 2 from GTA. A thin white line, extruding from the phone perpetually in your hand, that hops between potential hacking targets - traffic lights, SUVs, manhole covers, voicemails…
July 15, 2020 Claim your free Watch Dogs 2 before time runs out. Last week, Ubisoft announced that anyone who watched Ubisoft Forward would receive a free copy of Watch Dogs 2 - but the way that worked was that you'd have to log in to Uplay…
Update: Anyone with an Ubi account can now sign up for a free copy over here. Ubisoft’s offer of Watch Dogs 2 for free if you watched today’s Ubisoft Forward stream today was meant to be a tempting little sweetener, but things b…
Ubisoft’s big not-E3 showcase is scheduled for this Sunday, July 12th where they’ll be showing off new gameplay and trailers for upcoming games. As part of the event, they’re also letting you claim a free copy of Watch Dog…
Happy July 4 to all our friends in the USA! Today the UK team loosely tries to join in with a story about the Independence Day game that time forgot, and this celebration of the best US cities in PC gaming. We're lucky enough to have v…
The Epic Games Store has its fair share of critics, and there are some good reasons to be critical—its half-assed search functionality, for instance, or the inability to easily pull full-res screenshots from store pages. But it also …
Good hello. Please, grab hold and sit, for this is some Steam Charts. (more…)
Remember a couple of years ago, when a trailer for a fake game that appeared in Watch Dogs 2 turned out—maybe, according to sources—to be a real project called Pioneer? It looks like that report may have been accurate, because…
This year’s Amazon Prime Day is almost at an end. At midnight tonight, Amazon’s big day o’ deals will be over for another year (or, you know, until Black Friday in November), so if you had a look at the deals yesterday and…
We’ve just passed the half-way point of 2018, so Ian Gatekeeper and all his fabulously wealthy chums over at Valve have revealed which hundred games have sold best on Steam over the past six months. It’s a list dominated by pre-…
For all of the money and effort invested into the open worlds where we spend so much time, it’s amazing how many ways we’re given to ignore their construction. Trained to ignore them, by the way the games they’re built …
If you've been holding off on buying any Ubisoft game in anticipation of an inevitable sale, well your patience has just paid off. Or at least, it will if the game you want is among this new Humble Store Ubisoft sale, which offers some…
Once upon a time, Ubisoft's library was simple: it made platformers starring terrifying mascots with no limbs , and roughly 17,000 Tom Clancy tie-ins. But over the last decade, Ubi has muscled in on the genre that GTA made famous, buil…
