    Requesting steam activation code

    Hello,

    A friend bought me a PC copy of FARCRY PRIMAL special addition and I am unable to add it to steam using the install code provided in the DVD case.

    Can someone please contact me to confirm that the codes are legit and send me an activation code for Steam?

    Thank you.

    the DVD version of the game does not use Steam at all

    only Uplay

    if you want a Steam version you'll have to buy the Steam version ON Steam
    tho i do not know why you would .. all Steam adds to the game is an extra layer of DRM

    and no matter what .....you still have to have a Uplay account and use Uplay

    make sure you go to the Uplay web page and install the latest version of Uplay
    https://uplay.ubi.com/

    the version of Uplay on the DVD may not work as it is OUTDATED by over 6 months and they do update the client pretty often

    after installing the updated version of Uplay you should be able to activate your game in Uplay

    Hello TacticalGhost29, welcome to the Ubisoft forums!

    As WID992007 said, if you have the disk version of the game it will not use Steam. Rather, you'll redeem the key in Uplay. If you run into any issues doing so, feel free to reach out to our support team!
