Ubisoft has officially revamped and launched Uplay PC, an application that serves as a digital distribution platform for Ubisoft games. Uplay PC will be a central point for PC gamers to connect to Uplay’s community and services.

Much like Steam and Origin, Uplay PC will allow players to consolidate their Ubisoft purchases, download digital copies of games and manage friends lists.

The video game developer and publisher also kicked off a promotion making select Ubisoft PC titles available through Uplay PC for as little as AUD$1 for a limited time.

Uplay, Ubisoft’s online services and distribution platform, now has more than 35 million members. Uplay PC replaces individual game launchers and lets gamers access all their Uplay-enabled PC games and Uplay services in the same place.

Through Uplay, players are able to accrue points from playing and unlocking achievements that can be spent on extra content to enhance the game experience.
