According to Chris Early, Ubisoft's senior vice president of strategic partnerships and business development, cloud gaming enables diverse content to be played on various devices. This expands accessibility and reduces hardware barriers for players. He added that Ubisoft aims to deliver amazing experiences regardless of their chosen platform.

“Over the past 15 years, we’ve built and honed our online services and distribution ecosystem into one of the most complete in the industry," Early continued. "Today’s deal gives players even more opportunities to access and enjoy some of the biggest brands in gaming."
