Ubisoft Stops with UPlay and replaces it with Ubisoft Connect
Ubisoft Connect will be the new universal home for all Ubisoft in-game services, activities, and communities on all platforms.
Everything you’ve used Uplay and Ubisoft Club for in the past will be refreshed, expanded, and merged into Ubisoft Connect starting October 29, which coincides with the launch of Watch Dogs: Legion.
Designed for the next generation of gaming and beyond, Ubisoft Connect is just the beginning of Ubisoft’s commitment to making cross-platform features standard in the future. That includes cross-platform progression on games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Immortals Fenyx Rising, and Riders Republic.
“Next-generation gaming goes beyond technological improvements and better graphics,” says Vice President of Online Services Stephanie Perotti. “To us, as a creator and publisher, it is about bringing more fluidity and versatility to the experience, to have the freedom to play games on whatever device and with whoever you want. Ubisoft Connect is our take on a new seamless experience to not only ease the transition between generations and platforms, but also be the starting point for new services that further contribute to new, more player-centric ways of enjoying games."
The Ubisoft Connect interface will be integrated seamlessly into Ubisoft games on all platforms, bringing social features, in-game rewards, and challenges and activities all to one place. In addition to all the functionality of Uplay and Ubisoft Club, Ubisoft Connect brings brand-new features like a dedicated newsfeed to check out their friends’ activities and achievements. For those looking for tips on how to improve at Rainbow Six Siege or how to recruit a beekeeper in Watch Dogs: Legion, the new “Smart Intel” feature brings personalized tips and video recommendations based on your current in-game activities. You’ll also be able to access personalized stats and playstyle information so you can monitor your progress or compare with your friends through the new leaderboard system.
To celebrate the launch of Ubisoft Connect, more than 1,000 legacy Ubisoft Club rewards will be unlocked today for free to all players. The Ubisoft Connect experience will launch on Windows PC, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and be available on Xbox Series X | S on November 10 and PlayStation 5 on November 15. The service will also come to Stadia, Nvidia GeForce Now, and Amazon Luna later this year.

Seems to do the same job as before, so long as it does not hog system resources when the browser is open(which it does not) i see no problem, the Division2 still runs from my taskbar shortcut with out having to go through uplay launcher which is also fine.

Weird, I for one kind of like Uplay and found it to be among the better launchers/platforms after steam. With EA Origin I can understand them letting it go, since they basically stopped working on it years ago. Oh well...

diffrent name same crap, I perfer game threw steam one launcher, I have zero interested in this store/launcher and user/pass for every dev/publisher path the pc sector is going for games, which has already lead to exclusivity within pc sector via "store/launcher a"
It inconvenient to user
NVM the mess that is system that list the games you own... there launcher where show all the games you own but there website will not, and considering i dont have launcher isntalled it very hard to keep track what game I actual have from them which probably less then 10

Funny thing is that EA play will soon be available on xbox game pass included in the ultimate subscription which is a direct competitor to ubisoft's uplay +. Google will let Uplay + (Connect) be available on Stadia included in the sub aswell I think. Ubisoft wants to be everywhere on every platform included everywhere it seems
