Ubisoft clarifies that owners of Assassin’s Creed Liberation won’t lose access to title

Assassin's Creed Liberation

Recently there was concern with the delisting of Assassin’s Creed Liberation on Steam, as its wording sounded like the game would become unplayable.

On the store page (archive link as it is different today), it was stated that Assassin’s Creed Liberation will not be accessible following September 1st, 2022.


The Assassin’s Creed Liberation page has now been updated to say that the DLC and online features will be unavailable after that date – but the base game would still be playable for those who own it.

Ubisoft also gave a statement to IGN on the matter:

As stated in our support article, only DLCs and online features will be affected by the upcoming decommissioning. Current owners of those games will still be able to access, play or redownload them. Our teams are working with our partners to update this information across all storefronts and are also assessing all available options for players who will be impacted when these games’ online services are decommissioned on September 1st, 2022. It has always been our intention to do everything in our power to allow those legacy titles to remain available in the best possible conditions for players, and this is what we are working towards.

Of course, this still means that DLC that people have purchased will not be assessible. It should also be noted that the support article also shows other Ubisoft games that will lose out on their DLC access.

Other games that are losing their paid DLC access include other Assassin’s Creed titles like Assassin’s Creed 3 and Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. How do you feel about Ubisoft or other publishers cutting off access to content that you legally purchased/own? Sound off in the comments below!
