Assassin’s Creed Valhalla comes to Steam the same day support ends
A new wrinkle on the meaning of ‘timed exclusive’
Ubisoft PC Games Returning to Steam Starting With Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is finally coming to Steam in December
Ubisoft will release games on Steam again, starting with ‘Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’
Ubisoft will start bringing its games to Steam again, nearly four years after it turned its attention to the Epic Games Store and its own Connect launcher. First up is one of the publisher’s biggest games of the last few years, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which will be available on Steam on December 6th. City builder Anno 1800 and the free-to-play Roller Champions will hit Steam at a later date.
“We’re constantly evaluating how to bring our games to different audiences wherever they are, while providing a consistent player ecosystem through Ubisoft Connect,” a Ubisoft spokesperson told Eurogamer. “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Anno 1800 and Roller Champions are among the Ubisoft titles that will be releasing on Steam.”
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will land on Steam just as Ubisoft releases the game’s last content update. The Last Chapter, which will also arrive on December 6th, will bring about the conclusion of Eivor’s story and tie up some storylines. However, Ubisoft confirmed that it will not add a New Game+ mode, as it “realized that the depth of the game gave us limited options to make replayability unique and rewarding.”
Ubisoft previously said that abandoning Steam was a business decision. It was one that led to pre-orders for The Division 2 increasing by six times on Ubisoft’s own PC storefront (where it doesn’t have to pay Valve a 30 percent cut of sales). However, it appears the extensive reach and popularity of Steam was ultimately too hard to ignore. Perhaps Ubisoft sees the value of making its games more readily available on Steam Deck too.
Meanwhile, Valve is preparing for Steam’s autumn sale, which starts on Tuesday at 1PM ET and runs through November 29th. The event will be live during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and it will include discounts on tens of thousands of games. In a trailer, Valve suggested that you’ll be able to score deals on the likes of Hitman 3, Stray, Hades, Deathloop, Cyberpunk 2077, God of War, Disco Elysium,Yakuza: Like a Dragon and many, many more.

Ubisoft has announced that the final content update for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will arrive in December.
With Title Update 1.6.2 you can expect new content for the game, including The Last Chapter, that will provide a “touching and intimate” conclusion to Eivor’s saga.
The epilogue will tie up some of the storylines developed throughout the game and offer closure to your time among the Raven Clan.
Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla The Last Chapter releases free in December
The final Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla DLC, appropriately titled The Last Chapter, is set to release for free in December with Valhalla title update 1.6.2 as Ubisoft outlines an end to post-launch support for the vast RPG game. The developer has both good and bad news for fans of the open-world game as it introduces a new cosmetic option, but shuts down the possibility of a New Game Plus mode as the seasonal festivals come to an end.
