Ubisoft has confirmed that the PC version of Watch Dogs will require the publisher's Uplay platform to be installed.

　　That's regardless of where you've purchased the game, so even the Steam version will go through Uplay as opposed to its own Steamworks platform.

　　"Like some of our other AAA releases, including Far Cry 3, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag," said a Ubisoft representative to IGN, "Watch Dogs will be available on Steam and will leverage Uplay to support the games services."

　　This means that PC users will need to have their own Uplay account and client installed to run Watch Dogs.

　　Ubisoft also announced the PC system requirements for the game over the weekend. Brace yourself:
