GameTap is pleased to announce the renewal and expansion of its distribution partnership with Ubisoft Entertainment. This agreement extends to GameTap the rights for distribution and sale of Ubisoft games through GameTap’s games-on-demand subscription service and its digital retail store.
As part of this agreement, GameTap will continue offering gamers their beloved Ubisoft franchises like Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, Heroes of Might and Magic, Far Cry, and Prince of Persia. In addition to renewing these proven hits, GameTap will update its Ubisoft library with over 50 new games. These exciting new additions include hit titles such as:
• Assassin’s Creed
• Far Cry 2
• Heroes of Might and Magic V
• Brothers in Arms: Road To Hill 30, Earned In Blood, Hell’s Highway

GameTap’s burgeoning digital retail shop will offer an even larger selection of Ubisoft titles available for purchase and download. Ubisoft games started arriving in the shop on June 23, 2009 with the release of Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. and Prince Of Persia. This represents the first time Ubisoft’s games have been available for sale from the re-vamped GameTap shop.
“We are pleased to be able to offer our subscribers more of the kinds of games they love to play,” said GameTap US General Manager, Sene Sorrow. “Ubisoft games have always performed well for GameTap, and we are excited to grow this partnership,”
“We are excited to add more of Ubisoft’s top notch games into GameTap’s network, for both full game downloads and improved subscription based offerings,” said Andy Swanson, senior director of strategic sales and partnerships at Ubisoft. “We look forward to offering consumers yet another opportunity to play our award-winning franchises and receive our games digitally.”
Ubisoft’s ongoing relationship with GameTap has for years provided GameTap subscribers with top quality, high performing titles that are consistently ranked as favorites by their users. Through our partnerships with industry leaders like Ubisoft and these new additions to our ever-growing catalog of games, GameTap further cements its position as the best value in gaming.
