Ubisoft's creep back onto Steam continues with Immortals Fenyx Rising

Ubisoft’s gradual tiptoe back onto Steam is set to continue, with the publisher’s enjoyable 2020 action-adventure Immortals Fenyx Rising now confirmed as heading to Valve’s platform.

Launched at the tail-end of 2020, Fenyx Rising followed the same pattern as all new Ubisoft PC releases since 2019, skipping Steam in favour of a dual launch on Ubisoft Connect and Epic Games Store – where Epic was, perhaps not coincidentally, wooing publishers and developers with a 12% revenue cut compared to Valve’s 30%.

However, it appeared Ubisoft’s position on its preferred storefronts was about to shift in November after listings for a Steam version of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla were discovered, and the move was confirmed by the publisher itself in December, when Valhalla, Anno 1800, and Roller Champions were all announced to be heading to Valve’s platform.
