Ubisoft has announced that more games will be released on Steam in the coming months.
These titles are Far Cry 6, knight republic, Rainbow Six Task Forceand monopoly madness.
Far Cry 6 will launch first on May 11, followed by Riders Republic on June 8, Rainbow Six Extraction on June 15, and Monopoly Madness on June 22.
Ubisoft will begin bringing its games back to Steam in November 2022, starting with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Anno 1800, and Roller Champions.
These games are followed by the Roller Champions and Immortals Fenyx Rising in December.
The company stopped selling its new releases on Steam in 2019 because it deemed it an “impractical” business model that didn’t “reflect the state of the world today in terms of game distribution.”
Ubisoft’s last game to launch on the platform was 2019’s Trials Rising, and the company has opted to release newer titles through its Connect platform and the Epic Games Store.
Ubisoft didn’t offer any more color on its decision to skip Steam at the time; however, it’s thought that one of the reasons was that it raised questions about revenue distribution.
This assumption stems from comments made by company president and CEO Yves Guillemot to investors when he said the Epic Games Store offered “substantially better terms.” Guillemot added that Epic’s store also increases the “player exposure” of the company’s own store.
