Erster Post im deutschen Forum behandelt genau das Thema, scheint ohne Probleme zu funktionieren, kann aus eigener Erfahrung mit anderen Games bestätigen, dass DLC aktiv sind, sie werden halt nur nicht in Steam als erworben angezeigt.

First post in german support forum confirms it, DLC won't show up as owned in Steam but will work.

That's never been the case.

To the OP: It most likely requires you to have u-play installed; then once the game unlocks in steam, it doesn't care what you have on uplay.

EA and Origin are pretty much the same thing. So most likely, no. If you're determined to buy the game on steam, buy the base game and see what happens - you can always ask for a refund.

Wenn ich also alle DLCs schon bei Ubisoft erworben habe, muss ich mir hier folglich nur das Basisspiel kaufen, um auf meinem Steam Deck in den Genuss des vollen Spielumfanges zu erhalten??? Habe ich das richtig verstanden???

@Stockwerk 13:
VIELEN LIEBEN DANK!!! :-)

@Caduryn:
Noch nicht oder nicht offiziell! :-P
Es ist erstaunlich, welche Spiele die kleine Wunderkiste mit eine paar Einstellungen so alles über Steam abspielt! :D

12 Minuten her. Wir haben ihn verloren, das Spiel hat ihn eingesogen.

Tatsächlich warte ich auch sehnsüchtig auf die Antwort! Ich dachte, ich wäre damit alleine! :D

PS: Angeblich soll das Spiel im Jahr 2023 sogar auf den neuen Konsolen herausgebracht werden. Anno 1800 auf (m)einem Fernseher wäre für mich ein Traum! :-)

Okay so i tested it:

What i owned previously on Ubisoft / U-play:

Anno 1800 Basegame
Amusement Parks DLC
Botanica DLC
bright Harvest DLC
City Lights DLC
Docklands DLC
Holiday pack DLC
Imperial Pack
Lands of Lions DLC
Pedestrian Zone Pack DLC
Season 1 Pass
Season 2 Pass
Season 3 Pass
Seat of Power DLC
The High Life DLC
the Passage DLC
Tourist Season DLC
Vibrant Cities Pack


What i bought on Steam:

Anno 1800 - Year 4 Complete Edition
Deluxe Pack
Season 1 Pass
Season 2 Pass
Season 3 Pass
Season 4 Pass

What i now own on U-play/ubisoft:

Amusement Parks DLC
Botanica DLC
bright Harvest DLC
City Lights DLC
Docklands DLC
Deluxe Pack
Holiday pack DLC
Imperial Pack
Lands of Lions DLC
Pedestrian Zone Pack DLC
Season 1 Pass
Season 2 Pass
Season 3 Pass
Season 4 Pass
Seat of Power DLC
The High Life DLC
the Passage DLC
Tourist Season DLC
Vibrant Cities Pack
Deluxe Edition - Company Icons
Deluxe Edition - Digital Soundtrack
The Art of Anno 1800 - Digital Artbook

(and AVAILABLE when starting the game via Steam)

....

After downloading and installing Anno 1800 from steam, the ubisoft launcher opens and ask to connect accounts.
I did connect my steam account to my U-play/Ubisoft account (the account where i previously owned anno 1800 on).

All the OTHER DLC which i owned previously on u-play/ubisoft are now AVAILABLE
in game (started via steam).

So yes: you do NOT have to buy all the DLC again. I am not sure on how to go about the base game but the DLCs (which i did not buy on steam but previously on Ubisoft) are now available when starting the game via steam.
However they do not show up as bought in steam store page or libary, BUT yes you can access them.

At least I can.


So i made a negative 5-6 Euro (base game, deluxe pack and season 4 if buyed individually add up to ~55€ while the year 4 complete pack i bought costed 60€) figuring this out...


.... so plz give me some steam rewards

He bought the Complete Edition.

I own every DLC on Ubisoft Connect. Went ahead and purchased ONLY the Base Game on Steam.

I'm in-game right now and it still recognizes all of my purchased DLC.
