Ubisoft Connect came out in 2020 as the company essentially prepared for a complete and comprehensive rebranding of its PC gaming client. Though it's only been a few years since Ubisoft Connect first launched as a replacement for the aging UPlay application, it seems that the company is looking at ways to modernize and streamline its PC client further, as the beta version apparently takes its cues from the Epic Games Store. Availability at a local retailer alleviates a lot of these concerns.Ubisoft appears to be working on a visual and functional rework of the Ubisoft Connect game client, according to leaks. While Steam is usually a safe bet, all of Ubisoft’s latest titles since 2019 have been on Uplay and the Epic Games Store. Furthermore, compatibility with local payment preferences isn’t guaranteed on Epic Games Store either.
