Ubisoft is giving away free games starting with 'Rayman Legends'
To encourage social distancing and help people from getting bored as they're stuck in their homes during the coronavirus outbreak, Ubisoft announced Tuesday that it's giving away a bunch of free games over the next month.
The first game available during the giveaway is Rayman Legends, an excellent and gorgeous platformer from 2013 — one of the best games of that year. You can download it for PC through the Ubisoft website or through Ubisoft's Uplay game launcher.
The game is only available to download for free on PC. The window to download it for free runs from March 31 to April 3, and you'll still be able to play it after that time if you grabbed it. After that, another game will be made free.
In addition to Rayman Legends, Ubisoft is currently offering free trials for a handful of games including Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, The Crew 2, The Division, and Trials Rising, which are available for a variety of platforms.
As for which free games we can expect down the line, Ubisoft didn't get into specifics in its announcement, but it did namedrop Assassin's Creed and Just Dance as two series that will see free releases over the next month. Along with those series, Ubisoft also publishes Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, Prince of Persia, and Far Cry games to name a few.
Aside from offering free games, Ubisoft has also donated $150,000 to the World Health Organization's Covid-19 relief fund through the Twitch Stream Aid donation drive.
