Ubisoft has confirmed that Ghost Recon Breakpoint will be skipping Steam on PC, instead preferring the Epic Games Store.
Ubisoft confirmed the news to PCGamesN. Ghost Recon Breakpoint will join other Ubisoft games to choose the Epic Games Store over Steam, including Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 and Anno 1800.
Several other games, of course, have been nabbed by the Epic Games Store of late, including Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, Outer Wilds, and Borderlands 3. While all of those games have limited exclusivity (after which they will release on other storefronts such as Steam), Ubisoft has announced no such deal with its games to come to Steam afterwards.

Rhain discovered a long time ago that mixing one of his passions (video games) with the other (writing) might be a good idea, and now he’s been stuck in the industry for over six years with no means of escaping. His favourite games are those with deep and captivating narratives: while it would take far too long to list them all, some include L.A. Noire, Red Dead Redemption (and its sequel), Wolfenstein: The New Order, The Last of Us, and the Uncharted series.

Ubisoft believes that its new subscription service Uplay Plus will help the publisher improve communication with players.
Alain Corre, the executive director of EMEA at Ubisoft, spoke to GamesIndustry.biz where he outlined the vision and strategy for the company’s new subscription service. He explained that Uplay Plus will help boost communication with players, and the feedback it receives will help improve Ubisoft’s games.
“The reason behind our subscription service… it gives more possibilities for our fans to play our games and we can talk to them. We can keep them in our worlds, we can discuss with them and—thanks to what they say and the way they behave—we can feed that back into our games development. When we are in control of that within our ecosystem, we feel it’s beneficial for our fans. That’s ultimately what we want to do; we want to have more contact with them, more interaction, listening more to what they want and improve based on what they say.”
Corre highlighted that Ubisoft will not solely focus its efforts on Uplay Plus; players will still be able to pick up any of the publishers games either physically or as digital downloads. He explained that the company’s strategy moving into a subscription service is to adapt with modern consumer tends of gamers.
“We are still keeping the traditional model whether they buy our games in a store or download them. It’s really a case of offering the possibilities. Consumers are evolving really fast, and we want to adapt to what they want and propose new things to them, as well as keep the other means of distribution.”
Furthermore Ubisoft revealed that Uplay Plus and all past and future games will be available on the Google Stadia. Ubisoft was an early vocal supporter of Google’s new console, especially as the upcoming console focuses solely on streaming games.
