Version 4.8
Release Notes:
Link your Steam account to Uplay in order to seamlessly start your games from Steam
How is this done?
You have to Link your Steam account from your Uplay profile account settings.
You can access it on this page:
http://uplay.ubi.com/en/account
At the bottom you can see linked accounts.
It means that as soon as you have activated a Ubisoft game in Uplay client, Steam will be launching game directly through Steam and don’t need to launch Uplay client anymore. So you don't need to do anything, just a quality of life thing.
I got it. Thanks!
That's not entirely correct. Uplay will still launch when you launch an Ubisoft game through Steam, however, once you've linked accounts you won't need to enter your Uplay login details in order to play your games, Uplay will just check with Steam to see which account you are trying to log into and then let you in.
Effectively, it's like telling Uplay to remember your username/password, but then even if you reinstall Uplay or move to a new PC it will remember your login details (previously this wasn't the case) if you are playing games bought on Steam.
Hello gmrevisiii,
I'm sorry, I realised that I didn't actually answer your question.
1 - If you have told Uplay to remember your account details, open Uplay then log out.
2 - Check that Uplay is not set to "Always start in Offline Mode"
3 - Close the Uplay launcher
4 - Start Steam
5 - Start a Uplay game through Steam
6 - The Uplay launcher will appear asking you to log in and you'll be able to select a box that will tell Uplay to automatically use your Uplay login details when launching a game from Steam.
From that point on your Uplay and Steam accounts will be linked, but if you decide you want to unlink them in the future you can. If you do decide that you want to unlink your Steam account from your Uplay account, you can do that through the Uplay website. Just log in and go to your account details page and you'll see buttons at the bottom of the page to unlink any Facebook, Steam, PSN or XBOX LIVE accounts that are linked to your Uplay account.
Once a Steam and Uplay account have been linked, you will see the option to unlink them through your profile on the Uplay website. To link them in the first place you should follow the steps I described.
Once you've navigated to your profile page click on Gear Icon My Account in the upper right hand corner of the page. The linked and link options are at the bottom of the page.
I was able to link Blacklist (I live in an airplane(How do people send me mail?)) following the instructions above. The logout instruction was more like a switch user instruction, but hey it was almost perfect.
