Ubisoft Connect is down, locking players out of their games

Ubisoft’s online PC launcher, Ubisoft Connect, is currently experiencing connectivity issues that prevent players from accessing their games. The official Ubisoft Support team has acknowledged the issue but has not given a timeframe for when the service will be back online.

We're aware of issues affecting connectivity in multiple games and are working towards resolving this ASAP.

Issues with Ubisoft Connect began earlier in the day shortly after Rainbow Six Siege underwent scheduled maintenance. When the servers came back online, many players were either unable to connect to the game at all or were stuck in limbo between rounds. Less than half an hour later, however, the issue became more widespread as Ubisoft Connect itself went down. This has resulted in players not being able to log in to their Ubisoft Connect accounts at all to access their library of games.

The Ubisoft Support account on X released a statement stating that “We’re aware of issues affecting connectivity in multiple games and are working towards resolving this ASAP.” There is no word yet on when the servers will be back online, but updates should be posted on the official X account as they arrive. The issue appears to be stemming from the Ubisoft client itself rather than the games since users can still log in on the website. Some have even gone so far as to delete and reinstall Ubisoft Connect with no success.

This outage comes just weeks after the PSN went down for nearly 24 hours in February, also locking players out of their game libraries. Being a digital-only platform, Ubisoft Connect being down means players cannot access any purchased games, regardless of whether or not they are online games. It isn’t likely that this outage will be as severe, but it is still a major inconvenience for players who invested in Ubisoft Connect and are now unable to play their games.

Succession meets Return of the Obra Dinn in this thrilling mystery game

One thing about me is that I am a sucker for a good mystery. That’s why I’ve been delighted by the so-called "Metroidbrainia" genre rising to prominence. That label includes games like Return of the Obra Dinn and Rise of the Golden Idol that champion more involved information gathering and deduction on the part of the player. Yet as great as the puzzles these titles offer are, the narratives surrounding them are rarely as satisfying. Genealogical mystery The Roottrees are Dead, however, fixes that problem.

Centered on the secrets of the titular family, The Roottrees are Dead is both a compelling puzzle box and a surprisingly deep story. What begins as a simple challenge to identify every member on the family tree quickly turns into a subtle statement on how this one family, the descendants of a Logan Roy-eque business mogul, are beholden to one dead man’s obsession with legacy.
Down the rabbit hole
To anyone who has played other Metroidbrainias, the core gameplay loop of The Roottrees are Dead will feel familiar. Information is gathered and then applied to blank fields for each member of the Roottree family. Specifically you need to correctly identify the name, face, and occupation of each direct blood relative of the family’s patriarch, Elias. The twist is in the method of information gathering. The Roottrees are Dead is primarily played through a simulated computer desktop equipped with a search engine.

This MMORPG is getting a new player class 28 years after release

Tibia - Official Trailer

After having only four class options for 28 years, the MMORPG Tibia is adding a fifth choice: the Monk class. If you've never heard of Tibia, you aren't alone. The game launched in 1997 as a project for a group of German students and grew from there, but it's been a slow growth. The game only had sound effects added in two years ago (but the main theme does slap.)

The best FPS games on PC

Video game genres ebb and flow in terms of popularity, but the first-person shooter (FPS) has remained one of the biggest for generations. While there are plenty of amazing FPS games on PS5 and Xbox Series X, with most even being cross-platform games, the PC is still the ideal platform for shooters. You're free to use a standard controller on PC, but mastering the mouse and keyboard controls allows you to play at a much higher level. Of course, not every FPS game is a multiplayer game, and developers have pushed the genre to its creative limits on PC. Steam alone is overflowing with options, with more upcoming video games releasing every day. If you need a new FPS in your life and want to weed out the duds, check out our selection of amazing FPS games on PC.
