Hey guys, I have a question and I can't seem to find any working contact method to get to Ubisoft.
I want to buy Watch Dogs for my boyfriend for Christmas, and the Ubishop has some amazing bonuses.
My concern is that I have to log in to buy it. If I log in and buy it, will my boyfriend, who has his own Uplay account, be able to access the bonus material himself, or will it all automatically be linked to my own account? I've not bought from the Uplay shop before, only through the physical one for belt buckles and the like, so I don't know how all this Uplay stuff works, and I don't want to buy it if it's all going to go pear-shaped.
I'd appreciate it if someone who's bought things from the Uplay shop can help me. Does the bonus content come as a code to be applied manually to a Uplay account or console, or will it automatically be applied to my own Uplay account?
Hi There,
Any purchases made on the Uplay store - are linked to the account used to buy - all of the content is also linked to it - however some do come as a separate code [however without the game, they maybe of no use to you]
You could create a new account, and buy using that - however he would need to log in to that account, to play just the one title.
Have you considered buying him the disc based version from www.uplay.com ?
If you wish to talk to store support - you can do so from the 'contact us' page - and this is also on every forum page at the bottom.
If you bought a disc based product, then no.Originally Posted by Daeaye Go to original post
The codes will be on a card inside the game package - and then he needs to redeem them on the console / account playing the game - so all is good.
My post's above were concerning digital products, since they will be linked - all disc products are sealed - so any codes are unused until you activate them - same as any other publisher.

Humble Bundle will just give you the CD codes. You have to redeem them within Uplay so as long as you don't redeem the CD keys you should be able to give the keys away.Originally Posted by TharosTheDragon Go to original post
I have a related question to this. Would love some help.
Are games region-locked ? Can I get a friend to make a purchase for me which I can play from a different region ?
I'm based in South Asia, the friend's in USA. Do I get him to use the store.ubi.com/ie (International Edition ?) website, and does he have to login from my account ?
Or can I just simply get him to make a purchase and gift me the key ?
Ubisoft has said in this post that they are looking into adding a gifting feature but this was 4 years ago.
Could you please stop inconveniencing players and add this already? You are literally pushing people towards other platforms where Ubisoft has to pay a 30% cut and where players will need to use 2 launchers.

What is the holdup?
Hey Koenigsklinge,Originally Posted by Koenigsklinge Go to original post
Thanks for reaching out and for the feedback - at this time we have no further information regarding when a gifting facility is expected to be added into Ubisoft Connect.
More social features are being added such as the Share Play Beta so should more information on this be made available we will let players know.
Thank you!
