That&#8217;s, uh, the version you can&#8217;t actually buy anymore: the one with a big orange &#8220;Assassin\u2019s Creed 3 is no longer available on the Steam store&#8221; notice on its page. AC3 remastered, meanwhile, remains cheev-less. It means only people who already bought AC3 Cool Original back when it was available will be able to earn &#8217;em.<\/p>\n<p>Which, to be fair, Ubi does acknowledge in the update&#8217;s <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/208480\/view\/689716592460694163?l=english\" target=\"_blank\">accompanying news post<\/a>. &#8220;What about Assassin&#8217;s Creed 3 Remastered?&#8221; the studio anticipates someone asking, and answers &#8220;Achievements for Assassin&#8217;s Creed 3 Remastered are coming soon!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Which, hey, isn&#8217;t much of an issue unless you&#8217;re some kind of weirdo who actually cares about Steam achievements (like, well, me), and I have to imagine there&#8217;s probably some long chain of weird corporate decision-making that makes the bass-ackwards way Ubisoft is Steam-ifying its games make sense. But still, on its face it&#8217;s not exactly intuitive to add features to a game you&#8217;re not actually selling anymore rather than the games you actually are.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the AC3 update, Ubi&#8217;s also put out achievements for Assassin&#8217;s Creed: Liberation HD, the once-upon-a-time Vita exclusive that got ported to beefier machines in 2014. You can still buy that one, so fair play. If you&#8217;re worried about having to replay those games to unlock the achievements you already earned, fear not, you&#8217;ll get all the cheevos you&#8217;ve previously chalked up straight away when you launch the game.<\/p>\n<p>So ultimately it&#8217;s all good news. I like the dopamine hit of an achievement pop as much as the next guy, and I&#8217;m glad to see more games get it even if they&#8217;re very odd choices indeed. If you really wanna make me happy though, Ubi, how about removing the necessity to use Ubisoft Connect entirely? I&#8217;m sick of using my launcher to launch launchers.<\/p>\n<p>No? Well, it was worth a shot.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"f60b0120-06eb-4f53-b9be-621fd3f8ebb7\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/13-years-on-ubisoft-adds-steam-achievements-to-the-one-mainline-assassins-creed-game-you-cant-actually-buy-but-not-the-updated-version-you-can.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"f60b0120-06eb-4f53-b9be-621fd3f8ebb7\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/assassins-creed\/13-years-on-ubisoft-adds-steam-achievements-to-the-one-mainline-assassins-creed-game-you-cant-actually-buy-but-not-the-updated-version-you-can\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ubisoft&#8217;s been returning to Steam with all the enthusiasm of a groom at a shotgun wedding for a good few years now, and most recently it&#8217;s been adding Steam achievements to its back catalogue of games.
