Game transfer?
I have the game like many others on Uplay. Is there a way to connect/transfer the game to Steam? Except add foreign game of course.

Hey there guys,

As we've had a few threads on this, I've merged them all here.

If you own Anno 1800 via Ubisoft Connect or the Epic Games Store - you will not be able to activate your copy on Steam.

The copy you own was purchased via the Ubisoft / Epic Store and thus it is bound to that platform. Any keys you're able to retrieve, as they are not Steam license keys, will not allow you activate any content within Steam.

If you wish to own the game via Steam, you would need to repurchase it via the Steam Store.

Steam / Ubisoft / Epic Games are all different platforms with different storefonts / libraries, therefore it isn't possible to add games from one launcher to the other unless you purchase them.

Ubisoft Support also cannot grant Steam versions for the reasoning above.

As a workaround, to launch the game via your Steam library - you can added it as a 'Non-Steam Game'.

If anyone has any further queries, please let us know.

Hi i have a question if anyone have tested yet with friends , is it possible to play multi on anno 1800 with a game on u play , and one with steam ?
It does not matter, you both use Ubisoft account on the game, and that is linking you to multiplayer.

If you own it already on Uconnect, no you can't automatically get a steam version unfortunately.

You can just add it as a non-steam game with a shortcut in your steam library.
Steam version also uses UConnect, so it wouldn't even solve your issue even if you could somehow "switch it to Steam".
kk thats not recommended as it gets stuck in a loop when disconnecting

Ubisoft doesnt instruct steam you have disconnected so steam just automatically relaunches ubisoft

If the new steam version does the same when it connects to ubisoft its will get annoyong very fast

Ah I was wondering about this I have the first season pass but not the other 3. I guess it would be a decent deal to get the complete version?
Right now Complete Edition in Steam is $80 and Seasons 2-4 in Ubi store is only $60. Just saying...
In USA, it's $60, not $80.

No - if you own DLC via Epic Games, it will not be compatible with the Steam version of the game.

This is wrong.
If you own Anno 1800 DLC on Epic they will be registered on your Ubisoft Account.
If you now connect your steam to your ubisoft account you will have access to said DLCs.
You only need to rebuy the Base game, and the base game only (not the DLC) on steam if you previously owned the DLCs.

(the Season Pass and DLC wont show up as "owned" in ur steam libary, but when starting the game via steam it now connects to ur ubisoft and activates the DLC from there.)


Please correct this misinformation ASAP because it will make people waste their money.

Do you get free Burgers at Burger King because you bought one at Mc Donalds??

First of all this analogy is completely wrong.
If you want to make a burger analogy it is more like:
If I ordered at McDonalds to table 1 and the waitress brought it to table 1,
then can I take my burger to table 6 and eat it there.

Second thing is that steam does allow such transfers, I already had 3 games transferred like that, where I bought the game outside steam and when the game got released on steam I received the steam key.
Its not steam that blocks you from doing this, its ubisoft that wants to double charge you for the same game. Many companies do this when they want easy money, and unfortunately customers just wine and then accept this, especially if their product is good and they know most people will double pay.

Thats..... thats just laughable...... because Table 1 and Table 6 are STILL both McDonalds....

My Example still stands

And what Games you bought outside Steam, im sure its not a single one where the Publisher had his own Storefront.

I would also like that. I'm sure it will be resolved soon.
WHY?

Do you get free Burgers at Burger King because you bought one at Mc Donalds??

hm. its more like buying a car only allowed to be parked in a certain garage.

LoL.... another pointless and stupid example

You bought the Car at Dealer A, you wont get a free Car at Dealer B.

What Garage you are parking has absolutly nothing to do with WHERE you bought your Car.

You guys are mistaken when comparing a license to play a game with ownership of that game. When you buy physical goods, you typically own that item. You can resell the car you purchased, but you can not resell video games you buy digitally. Steam, Ubisoft, Epic, etc., don't sell games; they sell a license to play that game on the account that purchased it.

So yes, if you bought a car from Dealer A, that would not entitle you to claim ownership of the same vehicle at a different dealership. However, if you purchased a license to use that car whenever you wanted, you would expect to be able to use that car whenever you wanted at participating dealerships. That really is the crux of the problem here, dealerships need to agree with each other to honor your license from the originating dealership.

Currently, Ubisoft or Valve do not have an agreement to honor a user's Anno 1800 Software License for each other's platforms. So it could only change if Valve or Ubisoft want it to change. Generally, this happens with enough customers raising their frustrations on social media or the companies see a way to make money on the change.

Users are frustrated at digital storefronts because they can't play the game they have a license to play. Their frustration seems justified because Ubisoft/Valve could come to an agreement on how best to honor each other's licenses, but they don't because they make more money making licenses "non-transferrable".
