I purchased Far Cry 3 on my Steam account, I downloaded the game from Steam and when I ran it I got a key to activate the game on UPlay but, when I run the game I should login to both services.

If I uninstall the game and download it again via UPlay, Will I be able to play it without logging in Steam?

  • Assuming it's the same as the last time I tried playing that game then unfortunately no, Steam must be running in order for UPlay to recognise the game as being installed :(

  • I mean that I will remove it so, the game is installed via UPlay not Steam.

  • With Heroes of might and magic (6 iirc), I could launch it from UPlay without having steam running even if I had bought it on Steam. Ubisoft's games bought on Steam are usually all working with Uplay and Steam is just a front-end service but not the actual one the game uses. The Crew and GTA V(but from Rockstar) works in a similar manner.

At current it is downloaded with steam. If you delete the game, and re download it directly from Uplay, then yes. You should be able to play without steam.
