Do Ubisoft games on Steam also require Ubisoft Connect?

Historically, yes. Ubisoft games bought on Steam required Ubisoft Connect to run in the background, meaning you needed both launchers. However, Ubisoft has been transitioning newer titles to work natively through Steam without requiring the Ubisoft Connect launcher. Check individual game pages to see the current requirements. If you prefer to avoid dual-launcher setups, buying directly through the Ubisoft Store or using a Ubisoft Connect key eliminates the Steam layer entirely.
