Uplay



Uplay was created by both Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment in July 3, 2012, as a digital store, DRM, multiplayer, and communications service. Releasing alongside Assassin's Creed 2, replacing the Ubisoft Game Launcher Launcher. The client allows players to connect with others and earn units for awards while playing, which can be used to unlock game related rewards and vouchers. This can also be used to buy from the store to a certain degree. It's provided across numerous consoles, platforms, and mobile. It's primarily used for Ubisoft games, though Uplay store also sells a few non-Ubisoft games there.
