Pass will be bundled with new copies of “core” games beginning with Driver: SF, offer gamers “additional content” and full access to online modes; second-hand players can opt-in for $10.
Yesterday, it was rumored that Ubisoft would join major publishers Sony, THQ, Warner Bros., and Electronic Arts in offering an online pass for its games called the Uplay Passport. Today, the French publisher has made it official, confirming the program and detailing it.
The Uplay Passport will come bundled with new copies of Ubisoft’s “core” games, beginning this August with racing game Driver: San Francisco. The one-time use code will give gamers full access to the game’s online modes as well as unspecified “exclusive” additional content.
According to Ubisoft, the Uplay Passport is an “adjunct” to Uplay, the in-game achievement service that launched with 2009’s Assassin’s Creed II and is still in beta.
The publisher did not specifically name upcoming games that will use the Uplay Passport, but Assassin’s Creed, Ghost Recon, and Far Cry games fit the publisher’s “core” description.
Gamers who borrow, rent, or purchase a Uplay Passport-enhanced game second-hand will need to pay $10 for the pass. For more on the first title to use the Uplay Passport, check out GameSpot’s latest review of Driver: San Francisco.

Cevat Yerli expects Sony’s next handheld to have a hard time carving out its market against tablets, mobile devices, and the 3DS.
The PlayStation Vita may be Sony’s next-generation handheld, but one developer wonders if the upcoming portable system is already behind the times. In a newly published interview with Develop, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli expressed appreciation for Sony and the PS Vita, as well as skepticism about their commercial prospects.
“The Vita is an absolutely fantastic platform, but it will have a hard time, and it might be too late,” Yerli said. “I love Sony as a company, and we have great relations with them, but the Vita is going to have a hard time against the next generation mobiles and all the tablets. There’s also the 3DS investing in this market.”
Yerli went on to say the winners in the portable market would be determined partly by content, but also by “the platform’s ability to receive the content.”
While Yerli characterizes his relationship with Sony positively, it isn’t very old. The March launch of Crysis 2 marked Crytek’s first excursion on a Sony platform for the previously PC-exclusive developer. While rumors spread last month that the studio intended to finish up the multiplatform TimeSplitters 4–which was in development at Free Radical when Crytek acquired the company–Crytek has no officially announced projects on the way for PlayStation 3 or Vita.
