What players say
it uses the launcher that shall not be named. enjoy not getting to play a game you payed for because ubisoft linked it to an acount you were not even logged into... i have one ubisoft account that i made and all my games should be linked to. i have one ainchent account for xbox and these clowns have locked it on the other account. i have spent HALF A YEAR getting back my main account when that email was hacked and...

This game doesnt work properly, every 30 minutes goes down completely. Waste of time...
Yes, this game uses Ubisoft Launcher, which sucks. Yes, servers were turned off in this game so the MP is no more. Even with those limitations of an old game, this game still is one of the best action stealth games ever made. Download the Blacklist fusion mod, it's easy and gives you all the unlocks and widescreen support. Game is definitely worth playing in 2026.
