What Ubisoft Entertainment SA's terms say at death
- Section 1.3
“The Services and Content are LICENSED TO YOU, NOT SOLD. This means we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensed, and revocable right and license to use the Services and access the Content, for your entertainment, non-commercial use, subject to your compliance with these Terms.”1
What Ubisoft Entertainment SA says happens9
- Who owns the asset
Ubisoft licenses its Services and Content rather than selling them, and title and ownership stay with Ubisoft or its licensors; the license is personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensed and revocable.1
Ubisoft Connect Units are not the holder's property: they represent limited license rights and have no monetary or real-world value.2
- Closing the account
On termination of an account, the holder loses access to the account and all save files and in-game progression.1
Closing an account ends access to the games owned on Ubisoft Connect PC and on linked platforms, and an active subscription has to be cancelled before the account can be closed.3
- Restoring a deleted account
A closed account is placed in a 30-day suspension before permanent closure, after which Ubisoft states it cannot restore associated data or recover the account.3
- Balances, payouts and refunds
On termination, no credit for unused Services, unused subscription period, unused points or Ubisoft Virtual Currency is credited or converted into cash, and unused Virtual Currency is non-refundable except where the law requires.1
No money or other compensation is given for unused or expired Units or rewards when an account is closed.2
- Subscriptions and billing
A Ubisoft+ subscription from the Ubisoft Store or Ubisoft Connect PC is cancelled on the My Subscription page, and one bought on another platform store is cancelled on that platform.4
A cancelled subscription runs to the end of its period, a renewal already invoiced may still be charged, and the account cannot be closed until the active subscription ends.4
- Inactive accounts and expiry
Ubisoft closes an inactive account only when every criterion is met: no login in the last four years, not a child or teen account, and no game ownership, active subscription, purchased or redeemed content, or saved progression.5
An account holding a game library, subscription, purchases or saved progression does not meet those criteria, so it stays open until someone acts.5
- How requests are reviewed
Ubisoft states that inactive accounts may also be closed immediately at its discretion, on a case-by-case basis.5
- Passwords and login
Under the Terms of Use, the holder must "Never share your Account details (username, password...) with anyone" and "Never authorize anyone to access and/or use your Account."1, 6
- Other ways to reach the provider
The Contact Us form sorts requests by game or service and by category: Account Management and Security, Player Reporting and Sanctions, Information and Troubleshooting, and Purchases and Subscriptions.7

A written request to Ubisoft Entertainment SA can ask it to refund an unspent balance, provide purchase and transaction records for the estate inventory, transfer the game library to a named family member, close the account and preserve the account while the estate is opened.
Nothing in the account survives the holder, and Ubisoft Entertainment SA allows no lifetime transfer of it either.
