Ubisoft has confirmed that its future range of games on the Nintendo Switch platform will support both cross-play and cross-progression. This includes the upcoming Immortals Fenyx Rising which is due out on Switch on 3rd December. The company has detailed exactly what this means for you, below.
What is cross-progression?
Cross-progression is a feature that allows you to carry your save data from one platform to the next. Linking your Ubisoft account to any other account will allow progression to be retained for most Ubisoft games.
For our newest releases*, all your game progression is saved within Ubisoft Connect, so you won’t lose a step if you change consoles or switch to PC.
*Hyper Scape, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Riders Republic
What is cross-play?
Cross-play is a feature that allows you to connect online and play with your friends regardless of what platform is used. Most Ubisoft games with a multiplayer functionality aim to support this feature.
awesome, thank you
Sounds like it means you’ll need a U-play account to play all of their games in the future. Not something I’m happy about.
