Overview
Ubisoft is a global developer and publisher of interactive entertainment, creating, marketing, and selling video games for consoles, PCs, and mobile devices. Its products run as traditional paid games, in-game purchases, and subscription services, and are supported by major franchises such as Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six. Games are built to run across platforms with optional in-game purchases and ongoing services, and Ubisoft also develops its own tech, like Ubisoft Scalar, to streamline game development and enhance player experiences. The company differentiates itself through its large portfolio of enduring franchises, its in-house technology investments, and its active support for esports, community building, accessibility, and inclusion. Ubisoft’s goal is to deliver engaging interactive experiences at scale, grow its global gaming ecosystem, and maintain leadership in game development and publishing while expanding services and accessibility for a wide audience.
