Ubisoft Announces Uplay Passport
Friday, July 15, 2011
Ubisoft revealed Uplay Passport, a new program designed to provide players with access to bonus content, exclusive offers, and online multiplayer play. Uplay Passport is an adjunct to Uplay, an in-game service that offers gamers extra value, including a bevy of rewards and community features, just for playing Ubisoft games. The Uplay Passport program will begin in the coming months and will be included in many of Ubisoft’s popular core games. In each new copy of a Uplay Passport-enhanced game will be a one-time use registration code that, when redeemed, provides access to Uplay Passport content and features. The code can be found on the insert card inside the game box. Gamers can identify Uplay Passport-enhanced games by looking for the logo on the back of the box. Customers who’ve acquired a pre-owned game can purchase a new Uplay Passport online for $9.99 and automatically unlock the game’s online content and features. Starting with the upcoming DRIVER® San Francisco release, games featuring the new Uplay Passport will offer gamers exclusive bonus content plus access to online features. Thoughts?
It doesn’t really matter to me. Game developers need to protect their product sales and what with the cost of game development skyrocketing, they definitely need the profits.
Just another way of getting money out of all our broke a**es. I have a beta key to get the new Might & Magic, I have downloaded it 5 times and the file is always corrupt. They just keep telling me “Keep Trying, it’s happening to a lot of people” well, if it’s happening to so many, why not fix the problem?
I don’t mind these per sey but my problem is the code needs to be linked to a console not a gamer tag, people with families suffer
