No, Ubisoft wont stop you from playing Assassins Creed Liberation HD on Steam

Assassins Creed Liberation HD owners on Steam wont lose access to the game on September 1st, Ubisoft clarified today after a notice on Valves storefront suggested the title would become unplayable later this year. Current owners of those games will still be able to access, play or redownload them, a spokesperson for the company told Eurogamer.

The confusion around Liberation HDs playabilitystems from an announcement Ubisoft made earlier this month. In a move designed to free up resources for its newer and more popular titles, the company said it planned to drop support for online services in 15 games, including Liberation HD. As a result of the decision, online features and downloadable content would become unavailable in most of the affected titles. However, the only game Ubisoft said would be completely unplayable was Spade Junkies due to it being a multiplayer-only experience.

Many thought Ubisoft planned to take things a step further when a Twitter user named Nors3 shared a screenshot on Monday of Liberation HDs Steam page. Please note this title will not be accessible following September 1st, 2022, said one of the notices on the games storefront listing. The warning prompted many to accuse Ubisoft of dropping to a new low.

Ubisoft told Eurogamer its working with Valve and other platform owners to provide more accurate information on the future of the 15 games affected by its decision. It has always been our intention to do everything in our power to allow those legacy titles to remain available in the best possible conditions for players, and this is what we are working towards," the company said.
