NOTE: This is intended to play games purchased from Uplay - not Steam. If you do not own Uplay Connect games purchased from Uplay, this video may not apply to you. If you own one the game on Steam? Install it from Steam.

Let's play Ubisoft games on our Steam Deck! I will take you through the installation and configuration of the Ubisoft Connect client via Steam (no Lutris required) and look at three popular games; FarCry 6, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey and The Crew.

Each game will be tested and we'll try to optimize each title a bit for performance. I'll cover some common scenarios including runtime shaders and how to install third party launcher games outside of the non-Steam app/proton folder. All this and more.

It is strongly recommended to use a keyboard+mouse for this tutorial
