Ubisoft introduces Share Play service for free with certain limitations

The Share Play open beta is exclusively accessible on PC, and Ubisoft is highly unlikely to extend its reach to more platforms anytime soon. primarily because over the last two hardware generations, both Sony and Microsoft’s consoles natively provided nearly equivalent functionality; the PS4 and PS5 have the aforementioned Share Play feature, whereas Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S offer a similar “game sharing” capability.

Apart from platform compatibility, Ubisoft’s Share Play has only four supported games in its library at the moment: Far Cry 6, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, OddBallers, and Riders Republic. More games are “on the way,” as the firm did promise, but it is still not clear if this expansion will take place before the service exits beta. Public testing of sophisticated networking technology, like Share Play, may last for several months.
