Similar to the Chicago setting in Watch Dogs and San Francisco setting in its sequel, players will be entering the huge open-world of Los Santos and Blaine County to risk everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that keep them engaged throughout the game. Although players won’t be able to hack cars, traffic signals, bridges and phones like Watch Dogs, GTA V lets you play as three different criminals and you can even decide the mission that you want to play. When Ubisoft unveiled Watch Dogs, GTA-like experience was the first word that came to our mind, except for the hacking capabilities. Considering the franchise’s popularity, we’re not surprised at all. Steam Deck vs.Developed by Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto V is one of the best-selling video games of all-time, managing to sell over 80 million copies in just under 4 years, which is quite a feat to say the least. Time will tell if Marcus and the crew from Watch Dogs 2 will make an appearance in Watch Dogs: Legion.

While Watch Dogs 2 has a single playable character versus Legion‘s ability to take control of any NPC in the game world, from what Ubisoft showed off at its Ubisoft Forward event, the gameplay is seemingly incredibly similar and will feature many of the same hacking abilities, while continuing the story and lore around DeadSec. It might be a good idea to play Watch Dogs 2 if you plan on jumping into Watch Dogs: Legion this fall. Ubisoft is also having a large site-wide sale on many of its games, including Watch Dogs 2‘s DLC if you wish to play past the base game. No word on how long this promotion is lasting, or if it’s indefinite, but if you wish to claim your copy we suggest doing so sooner rather than later. We will make sure to update this article the moment that change happens. However, when we reload the portal link, it simply states that we’ve already claimed our copy, so hopefully soon my Uplay account will update. The operative word being should, as after claiming the game for ourselves, it is still yet to appear in our list of games 10 minutes later. And that’s it! The game should appear in your Uplay games library. To claim the game, you simply need to head to Ubisoft’s portal and log into your Uplay, or create one if you’re new to the service.


Not wishing to add more bad press to the company’s recent collection of terrible news, Ubisoft quickly announced it would allow Watch Dogs 2 to be redeemable by anyone that logged into Uplay after the event. Ubisoft Forward passed with few users having redeemed the game. Unfortunately, the service was plagued with issues during that time, likely caused by an overload of users trying to access it. The catch? You had to log in to Uplay during the live broadcast. To help build hype for its recent Ubisoft Forward event, Ubisoft allowed viewers to claim Watch Dogs 2 for free.
