Ubisoft’s online PC launcher, Ubisoft Connect, is currently experiencing connectivity issues that prevent players from accessing their games. The official Ubisoft Support team has acknowledged the issue but has not given a timeframe for when the service will be back online.

We're aware of issues affecting connectivity in multiple games and are working towards resolving this ASAP.

Issues with Ubisoft Connect began earlier in the day shortly after Rainbow Six Siege underwent scheduled maintenance. When the servers came back online, many players were either unable to connect to the game at all or were stuck in limbo between rounds. Less than half an hour later, however, the issue became more widespread as Ubisoft Connect itself went down. This has resulted in players not being able to log in to their Ubisoft Connect accounts at all to access their library of games.

The Ubisoft Support account on X released a statement stating that “We’re aware of issues affecting connectivity in multiple games and are working towards resolving this ASAP.” There is no word yet on when the servers will be back online, but updates should be posted on the official X account as they arrive. The issue appears to be stemming from the Ubisoft client itself rather than the games since users can still log in on the website. Some have even gone so far as to delete and reinstall Ubisoft Connect with no success.

This outage comes just weeks after the PSN went down for nearly 24 hours in February, also locking players out of their game libraries. Being a digital-only platform, Ubisoft Connect being down means players cannot access any purchased games, regardless of whether or not they are online games. It isn’t likely that this outage will be as severe, but it is still a major inconvenience for players who invested in Ubisoft Connect and are now unable to play their games.

I can’t stop thinking about this enigmatic new game about AI
A child stands in a doorway in Centum.

It’s a Monday morning as I write this. My day is just beginning and I’m getting my to-do list in order. As I check assignments off my list, I stop to remember if there are any games I’ve played recently that I’ve been meaning to write about. None that I can remember. After all, my weekend was spent watching wrestling and an Oscars-adjacent live stream with friends.

No, wait. I played something too, didn’t I? My head is hazy (probably from excessive pizza consumption), but a game starts to come back into focus. Something weird. Unsettling. What was it called? Centum. Was it an indigestion-induced fever dream? My Steam account begs to differ, reminding me that I went on a three-hour point and click odyssey over the weekend between social gatherings. It’s not that I had forgotten what I’d played; it’s just that it was so otherworldly that it feels like I played it in another life entirely.

The best hero shooters on PC
Two characters face off at close range in Apex Legends.

The best PC games come in all genres, but there's no doubt that FPS games on PC are especially popular. Counter-Strike 2 alone is constantly at the top of Steam's most played games list, overtaking even the most popular MMORPGs and free games. Within the larger FPS genre, hero shooters are especially beloved. These games combine some RPG elements by giving each character some unique traits and abilities to spice up the normal gunplay. While Overwatch popularized the genre almost a decade ago, tons of excellent hero shooters have come out since that refined and tweaked the formula in fantastic ways. Plus, with most being cross-platform games, you can even play against console players. These are the best hero shooters you can play today on PC.

Don't forget that there are plenty of upcoming PC games that might be the next big hero shooter.

To make things a little easier, here are ten incredible demos to start with if you are feeling lost.
Demon Tides
Demon Tides - Demo Teaser

If you are itching for more 3D platforming goodness after last year’s Astro Bot, try out Demon Tides. The cartoonish adventure set in a world of islands and open oceans is a responsive and frenetic platformer with a lot of promise. While the demo doesn’t give us the deepest look into how Demon Tides will expand its story and players only get a taste of the platforming, what is there is solid enough to put this game immediately on my wishlist after playing.
