You’ll be able to find Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on Steam from December 6th, with other games from the publisher arriving on the storefront at a later date. For example, if you purchased the main game from Ubisoft Connect/Ubisoft store, you would need to purchase the DLC content from Ubisoft Connect/Ubisoft Store too.

The most notable interaction between Ubisoft and Steam recently was the publisher turning off online features for many of their older games at the beginning of last month. Ubisoft games & DLC content should all be activated and purchased from the same launcher or this may cause compatibility issues and the content may be inaccessible.

At that time, Ubisoft commented the deal with Epic was “a long-term positive”, with Epic taking less of a cut from game sales revenue than Valve. Ubisoft largely abandoned Steam in 2019 in favour of their own storefront, and exclusivity with the Epic Games Store that began with The Division 2.

Ubisoft are just the most recent big publisher to bring their games back to Steam, following on from Activision launching Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 on the storefront in recent weeks.

Back in summer 2021, the company’s CEO Yves Guillemot said they’d consider bringing games to the handheld “if it is big”. It could be that the success of Valve’s Steam Deck has caught Ubisoft’s attention. 'We're constantly evaluating how to bring our games to different audiences wherever they are, while providing a consistent player ecosystem through Ubisoft Connect,' a spokesperson for the publisher said.
