Ubisoft, a company that specializes in the development of games for PC, for several years has been developing a unique platform that can unite its gamers with one program. After the release of the new version of Assassin's Creed, the developers of the game seriously thought about the creation of a platform that will become a stimulant for the installation and promotion of users in games.
Tasks and characteristics of Uplay
Based on this, in 2012, after the release of the next version of the games, Ubisoft management provided a unique application at the time, called Uplay. The initial launch of the program took place through the network of the same name, which connected players and allowed them to exchange resources and create clans to monitor the competition. In a narrow sense, Uplay is a program from the official website to manage installed games, allowing you to download and update the games presented in the catalog of the site or released by Ubisoft. The list of games that connect gamers includes:
- Assassin's Creed;
- Dead Space;
- Titanfall;
- Battlefield and other games released by the company.
It's worth noting that the developers didn't use the program to advertise their company or make money from the compatibility with individual platforms. Proof of this is the support for platforms such as:
- PlayStation
- Xbox
- Windows
- NintendoDS
- WiiU
- iOS
- Android
Usage and features of Uplay
This diversity, focuses on mass audience engagement, as well as accessibility in the use of the program.
A secondary goal of creating the program after the players' association is the involvement of users in the game process. For example: a gamer, who plays Assassin's Creed, completing various tasks and missions, predetermined by the program, gets bonuses or so-called points. The received bonuses are the game unit, which allows to get different resources inside the game. By the way, if the player has earned bonuses in one of the games, the loyal distribution system does not limit the client in their application. Accumulated points are calculated on all available games hosted in Uplay.
Features and privileges of Uplay installation
The question of the need to install Uplay, subject to the consideration of the advantageous features that the client receives when using the program:
- An expanded library of games collected in one program;
- receiving bonuses to improve the game profile in each of the company's games;
- monitoring updates and the release of new developments from Ubisoft;
- discounts in multiplayer modes.
