For years, buying a Ubisoft game on Steam still meant downloading and logging into a completely separate application before you could actually press play. That’s starting to change. The studio is piloting a new tool called Ubisoft Connect Services, letting Steam players access features like cross-progression and cross-play without ever installing the standalone launcher. The rollout begins with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and while it’s currently limited to that one title, it points towar

Wardogs Has A Massive Start On Steam, But Players Face Brutal Server Queues
A big new military FPS, Wardogs (not to be confused with the 2016 Jonah Hill/Miles Teller crime-comedy War Dogs) launched today in early access on Steam, and it's off to a hot start.
