In 2019, Ubisoft ceased releasing games its on Steam, citing an "unrealistic" business model that didn't "reflect where the world is today in terms of game distribution." Trials Rising was the last title to be released on Steam before the company transitioned to a dual launch on Ubisoft Connect and the Epic Games Store. Although Ubisoft did not provide any official explanation for its decision to halt Steam releases, it is widely believed that the revenue split was a key factor.
Despite this, Ubisoft made a surprise return to Steam in November of last year, with the release of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Anno 1800, Roller Champions, and Immortals Fenyx Rising. The reasons behind Ubisoft's decision to return to the Valve storefront remain unclear.
