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.

Its become more responsive and launches games much quicker for me. Same for when I end a game and it uploads & synchronizes my saves, so at least in this regard its become an improvement for me. Also less resource heavy from what I can tell.
Well this just release, other than a different color icon it looks the same as Uplay.

is it wishful to think EA and UBISoft would listen to their users, focus on the games, their IP worth, their developers and releasing new IPs instead of trying to out-greed each other, one up the last trend and what not bullshit strategy their pea brain-management has been coughing up since a decade or so?

When each new release breaks new sales records and pre-order totals keep topping the previous year no that's not changing.
Higher base price too (Hello Australia you're it seems. - Something like 100 to 130 AUD.) and a focus on micro transactions.
At least there's less editions now but they're costlier instead and a push to these service subscriptions as well Ubi Connect and it seems EA Origin is slowly phasing to EA Desktop.
But older titles still need EA Origin because code spaghetti or something instead of I don't know small client updates just fix it ha ha yeah it's probably not quite that easy.
(There's already a legacy layer in Origin too for the oldest titles.)
EDIT: Wonder if the new consoles are part of Ubisoft's "wee!!" strategy here of all out one after another too..
October-> Watch_Dogs Legion (No dogs though.
)
November-> Assassin's Creed Valhalla
December-> Immortals Phoenix Rising
...January?
February-> Far Cry 6

More responsive? Try this, open Ubisoft Connect, switch it to window mode, close it, click on Ubisoft Connect tray icon, now it takes 5 seconds to open as long you are in windowed mode
