Rayman Origins Free on PC This Month Through Club Ubi August 17, 2016

At E3 2016 Ubisoft announced they would be giving away a free PC  game every month until December on the Uplay digital download service.  To get it, all you need to do is log into Club Ubi with your Uplay account and tell the site you want your free game.  Then you can play it all you want on the Uplay client. That’s all.

This month, Ubisoft is giving away the modern platformer Rayman Origins. I first remember seeing this game demoed when I attended the E3 2011 Ubisoft Press Event and I’m happy to finally get the chance to play it.

Seriously this game is free right now. You don’t have to pay for it, and the Uplay Client is completely free to download. Even if you delete the game or the Uplay client, as long as you got it while it was free you’ll always be able to retrieve your game when you log back into your account. Get it now, because the offer is going to be invalid when Ubisoft offers their next free game.
