From Ubi to steam?

[Artem88]

Hey guys.

I want to buy the DLCs/ Season Passes. The problem is that I got my Anno version registered at Ubi connect. I guess, there is no way to transer it. So is the only way to get these things cheap, to buy the game a 2nd time on steam, or is there another way, like a sale on Ubi?

And if I would buy it on steam, could I still use my saved games, or would I have to start from the beginning?
Regards

From what I picked up from other threads like this you can buy DLCs on Uplay if you own the game on steam, but not the other way around.

Uplay has sales too of course, though at the moment only season pass 4 is reduced:

That's what I thought, thanks. So either I gamble and wait, or I'll purchase it again on steam. Also looks like you get the better deals on steam.

No, you can't transfer your game bought on Ubi to Steam or vice versa. It's easier to manage and troubleshoot game problems when the base game and DLC are bought from the same exact vendor, either from Steam or Ubisoft / Uplay.

I bought the game and dlc from steam and then linked my ubisoft account to my steam account. Used Ubisoft Connect

Bought game on Ubisoft as well as all of the DLC, had it installed there. Then bought and installedt he base game on Steam when it came back.
I had then 2 installs show up in Ubisoft Connect though.
Both had all the DLC and achievements. I then deinstalled the game I purchased through Ubisoft. So it shows up in Steam fine and I see only one install in Ubisoft connect.
Never had any price reductions I could get advantage of on Ubisoft, since the base game was preorder Pioneer and the DLC purchases as soon as it was available.

The base game on Steam however, was with a discount :) The reason I also bought it on Steam, was to get an easier install on Steamdeck.

The biggest caveat comes from the 'bundles' (Gold/Complete Edition) on steam. If you already own the base game on steam, than you can't buy a 'bundle' with base game and DLC included. It doesn't work like other bundles on steam, where you just get the difference between bundle and what you already own. You can't buy it, because you already have the basegame.
