Ubisoft Entertainment SA engages in the production, publishing, distribution and operation of video games for consoles, PCs, smartphones and tablets in physical and digital formats worldwide. The company develops and publishes major franchises including Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, Just Dance, Anno, Prince of Persia, Rabbids, Rayman, Watch Dogs, The Crew, For Honor, Ghost Recon, The Division and Brawlhalla; it also offers subscription-based gaming services via Ubisoft+, educational tools such as Discovery Tour apps, mobile and free-to-play titles, and media extensions including films, television series, books and music. Founded in 1986 by the Guillemot brothers and headquartered in Saint-Mandé near Paris, France, Ubisoft operates over 45 studios across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and other regions, serving consumers, gamers and entertainment markets with a workforce exceeding 17,000 employees. In a major strategic shift announced in March 2025, Ubisoft creates Vantage Studios as a new subsidiary to manage development of its flagship Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and Rainbow Six franchises, with Tencent investing €1.16 billion for a 25% stake at a €4 billion valuation; the transaction nears completion as of November 2025, enabling deleveraging through early debt repayment and focusing the parent company on other IPs like Ghost Recon and The Division alongside new technologies. Recent leadership appointments for the subsidiary include co-CEOs Christophe Derennes and Charlie Guillemot, while Ubisoft launches accessibility tools like the open-source Chroma colorblind simulator and joins the Accessible Games Initiative; it also expands Ubisoft+ with Activision Blizzard titles and inaugurates new facilities such as the 7,700m² Ubisoft Bordeaux studio.
