Ubisoft has shut down online servers for 90 games across multiple platforms. The game will still remain playable and the offline features for each game should still function normally.
Ubisoft notes that game news and player stats for each affected game have also been disabled. For any of the games that used the Ubisoft Connect servers, the units and challenges were disabled. What Ubisoft describes as “ULC” (Unlockable Content), such as additional maps or skins in all affected games, has also been disabled, with no new means of unlocking them.
PC players who previously unlocked this content will lose it, while console players will still be able to enjoy the unlocked content unless the game save files for that particular game are reset.
The full list of games includes several beloved and critically acclaimed titles, from single-player games like Assassin’s Creed 2 to more multiplayer-focused titles like Rainbow Six Vegas and its sequel. A long list of Just Dance titles is also losing resources online.
While some games are losing servers only for select platforms – games like Just Dance 2016 to Just Dance 2018 are only losing online support for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii, but will still be playable online on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Wii U – others, like Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2, are losing online support altogether. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is losing online features on PC, while Splinter Cell: Double Agent will lose its online components on all available platforms.
Ubisoft has yet to provide a reason for closing the online servers for the affected games. A complete list of titles from Ubisoft and their respective platforms that are losing online functionality can be found in Ubisoft’s official “Help” article on the subject.
