Going back to the stable channel is just as simple, all you need to do is click on the Standard button. Want to try the Ubisoft Connect beta? Just run the launcher and click on the Beta button at the top of the screen, the app will restart and load the new version. That said, Ubisoft's games have been coming back to Steam albeit after a considerable delay since they are launched on Epic Games, so you could just wait it out if you really care about reviews from other players. Ubisoft Connect lacks it, and frankly I don't think it will ever happen, considering that the launcher is a first-party app for the company's own games, they probably don't want people complaining about their merchandise, and potentially hurt their sales. The only area where it is behind compared to Steam or GOG Galaxy is the user reviews section. I've never really had issues with slow downloads in Ubisoft Connect. It's not as bad as Epic Games' atrocious launcher, so that's a positive thing. The new version of Ubisoft Connect is still a 32-bit app. The launcher has always been slow in terms of performance, even when it was called Uplay. The Verge calls the current version of the Ubisoft Connect app crummy, and I agree. The Settings page in Ubisoft Connect are now accessed via the player profile menu, and some of the options have been moved to different sections. The Ubisoft icon at the bottom of the side panel acts as a shortcut for the Discover Now page that features the latest games from the company. The icon with the downwards arrow on the sidebar opens the Download Manager with the games that are queued to be downloaded. You may customize your profile with a display picture, it lets you pick an avatar from one of the games that you own.Ĭlick on a game's page (while it is running + the overlay is active), and it will allow you to access the Share Play (Beta), which you can use to stream your gameplay, and share the game controls with up to 3 remote players/viewers. Ubisoft says that it has prioritized the social element in the game client to allow players to find friends easily, to play with them. The people icon opens the social page which allows you to chat with your friends, manage friend requests, game invites, and see the players whom you have blocked. The next two buttons on the sidebar take you to the Store and Ubisoft+ pages. It feels like a web-wrapper that is chugging as it load the pages by refreshing them every time you click on the tabs. The Home and Store pages on the other hand seem to take a few seconds to render the page, which puts a damper on the experience. The library displays your in-game progress, and also indicates when games need updates. One important change to the library is that it is not restricted to games that you own, it now includes games that are available with your Ubisoft+ subscription, so you can find them all in one place. The design of the thumbnails on the page have also been changed, it no longer uses the vertical style, and instead has horizontal tiles. The My Games section has been renamed, it is now called Library, it seems to load slightly faster than before, though the scrolling experience remains jittery. The first icon takes you to the Home page of Ubisoft Connect that displays various games that the company wants to highlight, aka featured content. The labels have been removed, and the buttons don't display a tool-tip when you mouse over them. To the left, you have a side panel with various icons. it stays the same on all pages in the app. It looks neat and tidy, with just has 2 options now, one to choose the version of the launcher that you want to use, and a button to Subscribe to Ubisoft+. The header in the Ubisoft Connect's interface been trimmed, it is no longer cluttered with buttons and a menu bar.
