News PS4 Freebie Grow Home Is Ubisoft's Fastest Ever PlayStation Download
BUD for you
It won the Vote to Play poll on the PlayStation 4, but there's more good news for Grow Home's botanical bot BUD, as the platformer has become Ubisoft's fastest ever download on PlayStation formats. The game exceeded 1.5 million "sales" within its first week – but this success can of course be attributed to the fact that it was given...
TGS 2015 London's Burning in Assassin's Creed Syndicate's Jack the Ripper DLC
London is also calling
In a move that even the lousiest psychic in the world could have predicted, Ubisoft today announced at Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference that Assassin's Creed Syndicate will be receiving downloadable content. The DLC in question is somehow related to Jack the Ripper, however it's unclear whether you'll play as the...
News Journey Composer Revealed as Mind Behind Assassin's Creed Syndicate's Soundtrack
Promising
If you've played Journey, then you'll know that it has an absolutely stellar soundtrack; the music isn't just a background component - it's something that's directly entwined with the experience. Composer Austin Wintory's name was deservedly thrown around a lot after the game's release, so we suppose that it's no surprise a big publisher...
Son of a beech
Grow Home is yet another small indie-esque release from Ubisoft, following closely in the footsteps of Child of Light and Valiant Hearts. It combines unique gameplay, a stunning graphical style, and a cute story about robots and plants in an attempt to recreate the sensation of rock-climbing. But does this plucky platformer climb to...
News London's Looking Lavely In Assassin's Creed Syndicate's Newest Gameplay Trailer
Mmmm, smog
Ah, London. An enjoyable city if you can withstand the crowds, the stinky public transport, and the complete lack of decent manners from anyone who isn't being paid in tips, and we dare say that it's looking rather fetching in Assassin's Creed Syndicate's latest arty trailer. Indeed, you can tell that we're getting closer to the game's...

News Rainbow Six: Siege Dodges a Bullet with PS4 Delay
Will now deploy in December
When we controversially claimed over the weekend that no one gives a hoot about Rainbow Six: Siege, we weren't being mean about Ubisoft's latest shooter. We have a lot of analytics here at Push Square, and while we don't claim to have a view of the PlayStation 4 market as a whole, we can get a feel for which games are...
There's no U in Zombi
ZombiU was an innovative and genuinely scary survival horror title which hit the Wii U at launch – one that made excellent use of Nintendo's second screen GamePad to enhance the terror to all new levels. Now, three years later, the title has been ported to the PlayStation 4, complete with a control overhaul to shift...
News Kendra Wilkinson Says Everything You Need to Know About Rainbow Six: Siege
Urgh
Ubisoft's getting desperate. Seemingly aware of the fact that absolutely no one on Planet Earth gives a hoot about the upcoming Rainbow Six: Siege, it's rolled out some celebrities to big up the game – like reality TV star Kendra Wilkinson and her footballer husband Hank Baskett. Unsurprisingly, they both think that the release is the...
Mind boggling
Ubisoft's board game train ain't showing any signs of slowing, with Boggle the latest passenger on the quality time carriage. A popular pastime originally designed by Allan Turoff in the early 70s, the tabletop title works a little like a word search whereby you can snake between different letters, as long as you can find a way to...

Gamescom 2015 Ubisoft's Still Trying to Flog The Crew
Publisher overhauling PS4 racer's visuals

News PS4 Doubles the Competition When it Comes to Ubisoft Game Sales
A French favourite
Without an early 2015 blockbuster release, Ubisoft's revenue has taken a hit this year.

Yves forbade Jade
Sony's big E3 2015 press conference may have felt a little like a séance for formerly dead projects, but there's one title that it failed to resurrect: Beyond Good & Evil 2.

That's one way to travel
When we saw Assassin's Creed Syndicate take center stage for Ubisoft's E3 2015 conference, we thought its cinematic trailer was a bloody good show, but we asked ourselves, "Where's the gameplay?" Well, it seems Ubisoft sneakily left that for the more observant to find on its YouTube channel with a succinct four minute video...
E3 2015 Take Aim at 6 Minutes of Rainbow Six: Siege Footage
"I siege what you did there"
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege received significant stage time at Ubisoft's E3 press conference today.

E3 2015 South Park: The Fractured But Whole Is Swearing Up a Storm on PS4
Pre-orders are available now
Bethesda did a great job kicking off its presser with some gory, gutsy footage of DOOM - but we think that Ubisoft may have taken the cake by pulling out Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

Swing that sword, baby
Today (or tonight depending where you live,) Ubisoft gave us all a rather pleasant surprise by starting its E3 conference with a brand new IP titled called 'For Honor.'

News Phew, Assassin's Creed Syndicate Won't Have a Daft Companion App
Now we're getting somewhere
Assassin's Creed Unity had a lot of problems, some far more serious than its stupid companion app, but the fact that there were locked chests scattered all about the map, which could only be opened via the use of said app, was just the icing on the cake of an already disappointing package. It's a relief, then, that this...

Ubisoft's moving on
There are still lots of people clinging to the fact that the PlayStation 3 has a much larger install base than the PlayStation 4, but the reality is that there are many, many more active users on Sony's super machine.
