Usually, playing a Ubisoft game and achieving certain milestones results in points being awarded to you, which can then be spent on a variety of rewards for the games you’re playing.

The duo will be fused together into what the French publisher calls an “ecosystem of players services for all Ubisoft games across all platforms” and will go live with the release of Watch Dogs Legion this month. Electronic Arts realised this earlier in the year when it combined Origin Access and EA Access together, and now Ubisoft’s also ready to do a fusion dance with its Uplay and Ubisoft Club hubs.
