Players on Steam won't need the Ubisoft Connect Launcher for Assassin's Creed Shadows; they just need to link their account. While not a complete disconnect, it's still good for fans who want all their games in one place.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows will launch at midnight local time on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, but has multiple release times on Windows PC. And of course, it’s time change season, which makes conversions even more confusing than usual. At least you can preload Assassin’s Creed Shadows can be preloaded to get into the game as soon as possible.
