Ubisoft relaunches Uplay Store in time for Watch Dogs 2

Ubisoft doesn’t want to split all of its revenues with retailers.

The French publisher announced today that it has relaunched the Uplay Store. This makeover gives the site a new design, but it also provides a new home for exclusive collector’s editions of Ubisoft games. For example, you can get a Watch Dogs 2 Collector’s Edition with a miniature robot that you can control with your smartphone. Fans of that open-world cyberadventure series can simultaneously pick up memorabilia and apparel related to the series and other Ubisoft properties from the Uplay Store. Ubisoft will still sell other premium Collector’s bundles through its retail partners, but it is just offering up some exclusives on its own platform.
