Ubisoft officially releases Uplay PC

Ubisoft has officially launched Uplay PC as a digital distribution service.

Uplay PC replaces individual game launchers and lets gamers access their Uplay-enabled PC games and Uplay services in the same place.

New features such as an integrated shop, the direct purchase and download of games, a friends list and chat system are also available in Uplay PC.

Several games are being offered for £1 GBP as a special launch deal. These include Driver: San Francisco, From Dust, Silent Hunter 5 and Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X 2.

The likes of Anno 2070, Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed Revelations, Might & Magic: Heroes VI and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction have been discounted up to 75% for a limited time.

Worldwide director for online games at Ubisoft, Stephanie Perotti, said: "Uplay is a great way for customers to discover Ubisoft's games, connect with their friends and gaming communities, and win achievements and content that's not available anywhere else.

"For PC gamers that are already fans of Ubisoft's titles or have been considering trying some of our classics, this promotion is a great deal, and our way of saying thank you for their support."
