Original Post — Direct link
I see the notice that Ubisoft is having an online outage and "connectivity" issues. So why can't I play the game online? When I purchased it, nothing said the game had to have a constant internet connection.

I have the base game, plus all DLC to date, except the Anarchist.

Hey guys, thanks for reaching out!

We did indeed have a temporary degradation however this has been resolved since and servers are working as intended.

Hey Thorntongue!

OP case is a little different from yours however if you are referring to Ubisoft+ subscription, then yes, I can confirm that it does indeed require online connection, otherwise you will not be able to play, I'm afraid.
