Add Anno to Steam Library?

[- = T i m b e r H o = -]

Anno is on sale for $15 on the Ubisoft store. If I buy it there am I able to add it to my Steam library and take advantage of Steam features like fan made Steam Input profiles to play the game with a controller?

Not sure if Ubisoft store would provide a key or how it would be imported.

It might work. Just add it as a non-steam game.

Be aware that if you buy it from a specific store, you have to buy dlc from the same store, or it can cause problems.

no

People really need to be a bit more specific with their answers.

Games you buy on steam and Ubi store are treated as separate products. If you buy Anno 1800 on Ubi store, then you will not be able to add the DLCs from the steam store and vice versa. In that case, you can only add the game as a non-steam game to your library but certain features such as achievements won't unlock for your steam profile - you will have them on your Ubi account only.

Regarding controllers, it's a compatible steam feature. However, it's quite possible you will have to deal with some challenges as it's not very intuitive. Just make sure you start your game first, and then open the steam overlay from where you have to adjust and change all controller settings. I hope everything works then as it should. Last time I tried this, it was a total nightmare, lol

Anyway, I would still recommend you to wait a bit until the next steam sale and get Anno 1800 here in the store. That way you save yourself a lot of trouble and can enjoy your game in its full functionality.

If you buy the main game on the Steam store you can add DLC bought from Ubisoft store later.

Get the season pass on sale or from the legitimate resellers for DLC. If you buy it all individually at normal you will be robbed. You can end up paying only about 10-25% of the price then.

I bought the game on Ubisoft on launch, then all seasons & some cosmetic DLC.

During this winter sales I just bought the base game at 15$ on steam, and while playing on steam I have everything I bought on Uplay (because my 2 accounts are linked) while i should just have the base game.

Also worth to note, all the achievements I had on Ubisoft did transfer automatically on Steam on first launch.

So basically, buying the base game on Steam if you already have any version on Uplay allow you to import everything : DLC, saves, profiles & achievements

Wow, sounds great. But what if you buy another left DLCs on Steam then? Do this work? (Base game on Steam, most DLCs on Ubisoft and then the left DLCs bought on Steam.)
