Steam als Linux-Alternative zu Ubisoft Connect
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Steam can serve as a practical replacement for Ubisoft Connect for most players who mainly want to launch Ubisoft PC titles on Linux. It runs the games through Proton, handles updates, and keeps saves via Steam Cloud. However, it lacks native Ubisoft‑specific services such as in‑game rewards, Ubisoft account linking, and some anti‑cheat integrations, so power users who rely on those features may still need Wine/Proton tricks or a Windows environment.

Was anders ist

Ihre Ubisoft Connect-Dateien öffnen
Steam does not read Ubisoft Connect's proprietary configuration or DRM files directly. Games installed via Steam will store their own save files in the Steam Cloud folder, while any Ubisoft‑specific data (e.g., activation files) remains managed by the game itself under Proton's prefix. If you have existing Ubisoft save files, you can copy them into the game's save directory inside the Proton prefix, but there is no automated conversion tool.
Von Ubisoft Connect zu Steam wechseln – Schritt für Schritt
- Install Steam from your distribution's repository or Flathub.
- Enable Proton in Steam settings (Steam > Settings > Steam Play).
- Add your Ubisoft games to Steam as non‑Steam games, pointing to the .exe in the Wine/Proton prefix.
- Log into your Ubisoft account from within each game to access multiplayer and DLC.
- Test multiplayer and anti‑cheat; if issues arise, consult ProtonDB for specific launch options.

Can I use my existing Ubisoft subscription with Steam?
Steam does not manage Ubisoft subscriptions; you must log into the Ubisoft service from within the game after launch.
Will Steam Cloud replace Ubisoft Cloud saves?
Steam Cloud works for games that support it on Linux; otherwise the game will fall back to its own cloud service if available.
Is anti‑cheat reliable when running Ubisoft games through Proton?
Compatibility varies; many titles work, but some anti‑cheat systems still require a native Windows environment.
