Retroactive achievements?

[Falcuan]

I already completed the game on Uplay and I'm thinking of acquiring it in Steam (I want all my games in the same platform). If I buy it on Steam, will all my achievements unlock?

Thanks for your answer. Could you tell me which games?

For the newer games it's easier but for the older ones is a bit more complicated like AC Revelations for example.

No point, this game uses Ubisoft Launcher to launch it. When you run it on Steam then it first opens up Ubisoft Launcher and then runs the game. You just add an extra step by having it here, I only bought it on Steam as it was on the Christmas sale but it wasn't on sale at Ubisoft Launcher for some reason.

If there's a ubisoft outage you still won't be able to play your Steam version.

What do you mean no point you need to own the game on steam also if you want retroactive achievements as per OP wish.

OPs main want is to just have all his games on one platform, unfortunately this one still goes via Ubisoft Launcher with your Ubisoft account. Even though you own it on Steam you can't launch it without Ubisoft Launcher + ubisoft account on your system. Please see the linked thread for discussion around this.

I understand it's ideal to consolidate your libraries as much as possible, the best solution on Steam is to go to the store page for the game and click the little arrow next to ignore this game and then select 'I have played this on another platform' so you don't accidentally rebuy it in the future and double-up. Before they added this I doubled up on some EA/Ubisoft games myself.

The retroactive achievements was just a curiosity question by OP and not the main point of his post. Obviously he isn't buying the whole game again *just* for the Steam achievements, Steam doesn't have any level ups/trophy count/gamerscore/etc attached to your achievements and he doesn't even have a public profile.
