Ubisoft Confirms 'Online Pass' Type Program with Uplay Passport

Posted July 15, 2011 by Ben Strauss

The monetization train steams ever onwards as more publishers toss their hat into the ring of an ‘Online Pass’ style program.  Ubisoft has just confirmed the "Uplay Passport" -  a new program to promote the sale of new games through exclusive content offerings and access to online multiplayer. 

Those persons buying used copies of titles utilizing the Uplay Passport will have to pay $10 to unlock said features. The first game to saddle up with the program will be the long-anticipated Driver: San Francisco title, due out August 30.  

Ubisoft said that the Passport will become standard for many of the company's core games going forward. The games using the Passport will feature a logo stamp on the back of the box.
