Ubisoft Connect 2.0 Leaks, Looks Like the Epic Games Store
Ubisoft prepares a complete rework of its Ubisoft Connect 2.0 game launcher, this time taking cues from Epic Games' own library client.

Now, almost three years after Ubisoft Connect first came out, the publisher is reportedly gearing up for a comprehensive update to the game client. Respawn First was provided with a slew of screenshots featuring the new and improved Ubisoft Connect 2.0, and it seems that its design language borrows heavily from the Epic Games Store in particular. According to the leaked images, the majority of the UI is dark and sleek, and some of the highlights include a reworked home page, login screen, and game library pages.
The featured version of Ubisoft Connect 2.0 is currently undergoing a beta stress test, and the source claims that it is slowly being rolled out to a small number of users, meaning that it's not necessarily going to look like an offshoot of the Epic Games Store once it fully launches to a more widespread audience. Since Steam Deck users can easily install the Epic Games Launcher, Ubisoft is hopefully taking this functionality into account too.
