Ubisoft is giving away Watch Dogs 2 on PC, free of charge, for anyone watching their live event July 12th.
Tune in to the dedicated Ubisoft Forward stream starting at 10:30 AM PDT with a packed pre-show and free rewards. The Ubisoft News team and friends will be playing Trackmania live on stream, followed by exclusive news, interviews, and a look at upcoming content, including intel about the AI teammates coming to Ghost Recon Breakpoint, news from Just Dance 2020, a deep dive into a much-loved Easter egg from The Division 2, and more!
Don’t forget to log in with your Uplay account anytime after Trackmania and before the end of the main show to claim a free copy of Watch Dogs 2 on PC, and to get a chance to answer trivia questions and win some rewards for a variety of Ubisoft titles.
Here’s the event map so you know when to watch it in your region:
HOW TO GET WATCH DOGS 2 FOR FREE:
It’s simple; to get your copy make sure you are logged in with your Uplay account at the official Ubisoft Forward page (the page will go live before the event starts July 12th).
EDIT: Due to the login problems, the game will be given away to everyone.
EDIT 2: You can now register to claim Watch Dogs 2 (and other goodies) at this page before 15 July 7:00 AM UTC
In case you forget, follow us on Twitter, Facebook or Steam since we’ll post a reminder just before the show stars.
Nice been waiting to play this hear its really good!
5am for us Aussies. I don’t get up that early for sex….
I’ll be hard pressed to get up for a game.
Ast is Arabia Standard Time or Atlantic Standard Time? Anyone who knows for that Middle East part?
Googled it, it says Arabia Standard Time, so I guess that
you will have to watch it live – it will last ~45mins.
okay thanks
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO
According to the time zone converter I just used it’s 3:30am Monday. Either way, too damn early. Really enjoyed this game on PS4 though and been meaning to pick up a cheap PC copy with DLC and play it again some time.
July 13th 2am for Indonesia
Can you post here again once the event goes live,also,do I need to watch all of the event,or?
do I participate if I have now signed up via this link https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/forward what you gave or to some other link?
Sounds like the virtual equivalent of a timeshare seminar. Show up for this sphill where we try to tempt you into spending big and we’ll give you a freebie.
We’ll update the article when it’s live and share it on Twitter, Facebook and Steam
I’m in Pakistan which is 2 hours ahead of Arabian ST or 12 hours ahead of Atlantic ST. For me the event(main show) will start at mid night 12 AM.

Hey moderator when will we see a 10000 random keys or similar giveaway.
It’s at 12 am, midnight in India 🙁
No plans on doing anything like that again soon. We’ll just write news about giveaways, not create our own.
watch livestream at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBMvc6jvuTxH6TNo9ThpYjg
cant login, my account suddenly suspended 🙁
are the uplay codes even real…cant get them to work smh
Lol just like Epic Games all over again 100k++ people login in just to get free games crashing thier servers
alright now its not working lol man was hoping to get watch dogs i dont know why they couldnt have just made it free through uplay for 24 hours
man this is bs **** ubisoft
did u get watch dogs 2…it says watch 1 minute and get a copy right??
I can’t login
seems i was too optimistic 😀
i am unable to login with my ubsoft acc, it just goes back to the login page….damn and i really wanted watch dogs 2 :/
i can’t login!, fuck you ubisoft
mehh scam / bussiness strategy bs
This is a scam! Yesterday I logged in and checked to leave me logged in, I came to pick up wd2 and saw that I was logged in when I logged in again and reloaded the page I was logged in again. Scamers!
they are real but theres delay with the stream, if youre not in america youre basically always late
still cant login..
Still can’t login. Haven’t even been able to watch a minute of the stream because I’ve been constantly logging in and resetting passwords. Man I’m just gonna take the L on this giveaway tried for the past hour to log in
me too
really dissapointed tho
Epic Games atleast gave us a week to redeem gta5, this is bullshit
I think it was expected that their servers will crash. After all its BugiSoft.
The servers didn’t crash, they shut them down …
“We’re aware of an issue causing some players to be unable to log in to their Ubisoft Account and are working towards resolving this. >>” taken from the Uplay twitter
The like and dislike ratio on their live stream is hilarious xD
And it will only get worse …
chat is just everyone spamming #cantlogin on there youtube livestream lol
fuck dealing with ubisoft and their trash servers i’d rather pirate the game they don’t deserve my money
lets dislike that stream
I was actually able to get it, hopefully because of these issues they’ll extend the give away
same here
i still cant login 🙁
That really sucks, I really hope you can get it soon. For now just keep trying
hmmm lets see if they keep that promise
Dont worry! we’ll be giving out the rewards to all of you, even if you were unable to log in succesfully. Sit back and enjoy the show! >>Ubisoft says in their website.
yup

The message for those who log in of the event:
Maintenance
Due to high demand, this page is temporarily unavailable. Please come back later to claim your free copy of the game.
I managed to logged in, after the main event LOL. Now I’m worried about getting the Total War Saga Troy from Epic…
CHILLAX PEOPLE ! THEY just tweeted that they would be giving game to everyone, even if you were’nt able to log in
the jacket is an in game item, not a real jacket
Shitty Tactics… 😜

So which one is it?!?!
I woke at mid night just for this and now they say that they will give it to everyone. Ubisoft is trash they wasted so much of my time.
strean on their page and stream on twitter even was different, o twitter it was maybe 5-10 seconds ahead 🙂
no one can
they know we cant log in and they said we can stille get it
Something must have changed. It’s at 6.8k dislikes now.
I guess a bunch of people managed to login? Or somehow they’ve removed the dislikes. I think I did my first ever dislike of a video today. This was poorly planned. Typical of every company out there who decides to give something away that has the potential to be popular.
Anyone else having issues with Ubisoft Website? I watched the entire show… but no reward and I was logged in but now I see Ubisoft has been having issues with their services so I have no idea if I’ll be able to collect the reward. The site also says that due to high demand, the page is temporarily unavailable and to come back later to claim the free copy of the game. I’ve also been logged out of Ubisoft and can’t log back in on PC or Android Device…
I was logged in… but got logged out some time during the show and only noticed close to the end when I tried claiming the reward and it asked me to login again…
Atleast they’re giving it for free. Respect that. But yeah their service is shit right now, because of us.
The tweet says rewards, so all of the rewards that was listed for the stream? Managed to login 5 times, only to get sent back to the welcome back login page.
Coming 13th August – FREE to claim on the Epic Store for the first 24 hours!
” A Total War Saga: TROY “
hyped for this!
I don’t care if they give it for free or not. I am used to pirating everything from games to movies/tv shows. In my whole life I haven’t spent a dime on any game or a movie or any subscription.
Anyone having issues with logging in? I can log in, and then it shows my username and says welcome back when i go back to stream it wont let me type anything and says login…. 🙁
EDIT: Got it to work, just had to keep signing in I think it took 50 tries at least. So just keep logging in until it works
It was a scam. They just wanted viewers for their show.
and what do you want? a medal?
I managed to login in Uplay, it redirects me to the stream and just can’t login there, theres like 8mins until the event starts and it wont count if im not logged in.. i feel scammed
Ubisoft just twitted:
Don’t worry! We’ll be giving out the rewards to all of you, even if you were unable to log in successfully. Sit back and enjoy the show!
For me it looks like a scam. 1st they had no single problem with streaming when Elon Musk had many of them on space x start. 2nd they had heavy problems with login system wich all day serving hundred tousands logins every minute for their games without problem and they had that issue only in time of transsmision, right after it everything worked perfectly. For me they just wanna create hype but they not meant to give away so many free copies of the game and created artificial problem. US residents got alternate method of gaining rewards by sending mails but why noone outside us had such a chance ?
Well I doubt they have jackets for everyone, but WD2 at least they could give for free, but lets see.
I managed to logged in, after the main event LOL. Now I’m worried about getting the Total War Saga Troy from Epic…

Yeah that makes sense, I guess I wasnt expecting them to giveaway an ingame item from club rewards for a game that we dont own
I think ubisoft wants to give wd2 for free from beginning. They just try to manipulate people to watch their stream and make nobody can login, but in the end they will give wd2 for free
looks like they are just going to give it to everyone with an account due to the login issues

calm your balls kids, its free for everyone now
In Ubisoft’s defense they are a fledgling startup that has never posted anything on the internet before, so while it may have seemed entirely obvious to you, me, and 100,000 other people on the internet that they’d need extra servers to cope with the demand, it’s an easy mistake to make. Apparently. And waking up at 5am on a cold Melbourne morning was its own reward.
here’s the link to get the reward.

They gave it away today instead . If you look down this thread there are links to the page you need to go to . Just went there myself and its now in my Uplay account . Hope that helps .
can anyone tell me if this giveaway does have the dlc included or only the base game?
https://register.ubisoft.com/ubisoft-forward-reward/en-US
Ubisoft has launched this page to allow people to claim the rewards, its unclear if they will just give it to everyone who tried to log in, or only if you log in with this link.
what money?
you can get it today by going to this page

Thanks
nice! me too, couldnt manage to login yesterday… but thanks for letting me know that it’s only the base game

What are you talking about, you never have any sex, you watch porn videos instead.
Everybody got a copy after this (after redeeming), you just happen to be one of the impatient losers.
I’m still playing the waiting game …. 🙁
Appeared in the Freebie section of Indiegala …. Merry Glade
https://freebies.indiegala.com/merry-glade/?dev_id=freebies
Not free at all. I have registered multiple times. The game does not appear in UPlay.
Registering does not do anything. I have tried multiple times in the last 2 days. I still do not see the game on UPlay.
It does not work. I have tried 10 times in the last 2 days. I still do not see the game on Uplay. It is buggy at best.
Nope, I have registered multiple times in the last 2 days. I still do no see the game in Uplay.
Ubisoft says …
“Be aware that the rewards will be granted in waves and should arrive by the end of the week.”
you will get till the end of the week, they wrote in their twitter
you will get till the end of the week
I got the game 20 mins before the show ended. They tweeted they will give WD2 For free by the end of the week.

I made the comment before the announced they’ll be giving it to everyone, also thousands of people are still waiting after they registered, you just had to call them losers? loser
Watched the stream ’til the end, registered multiple times on my multiple account, and still no signs or email from Ubi about Watch Dogs 2 on my Uplay library, I’ve been waiting for 2 days, why you do this to me Ubisoft
I think staying up all night for free game wasn’t worth it all (UTC +08:00 area for Ubi live stream was pretty unfortunate)
you’ll get it by the end of the week…just wait for the email
i got mine a few hours after i registered…i registered pretty quickly after their post went up. they say you will get an email confirmation by the end of the week.
Fucking hell John, we’ve discussed this before. When I agreed that you could be my CIA handler, we had explicit instructions that you would not discuss my masturbation habits on the internet. I don’t mind you watching me watch porn, and listening to my conversations with Google Home, but you’re not permitted to talk about it.
I’ll be bringing this up with your supervisor. 🙂
you are the first and only person who got Watch Dogs 2, I have been in this for 48 hours and keep counting and I do not see any other person on the Internet say the same.
Aaaand it’s too late.
don’t worry. me and a lot of people still waiting for the game.. 48 hours and counting
Still no game after 3 days…
I used to do it too when I was a teen, I didn’t had money to spend or you can say my parents were bit reluctant about me having money to spend (Indian parents mentality). But now I can hold money. And I use it to buy software/games. You not buying the product & taking in piracy reduce the revenue of the developer (I.e. if you have money).
So if you have money, then I would suggest you to buy it rather taking help from piracy.
Okey, just got the game:)
Just checked ….. yep , it’s there 😀
I gotcha the freebie! <3
fuckers.
fuckers.
