Thanks for this - I've been waiting for it to go on sale somewhere.

It's a steam key by the way. Also, remember that if you have a Uplay account with at least 100 "units", you can exchange them for a 20% off voucher at the Ubisoft Club website (making it £4.20)

Just to dispel some of this misinformation:

You will NOT need to run uPlay to play this title. It doesn't use the Ubisoft DRM. Ubi act as a third party seller in this case. So when you launch the game from Steam, nothing else apart from the game itself loads :smiley:

Feel free to check the Steam listing to verify: http://store.steampowered.com/app/201810/

Also, it is worth noting that once you have added the game to your Steam account, you can log in to http://doom.com/en-gb/alpha/steam with your Steam account to sign up to the alpha / beta for the new DOOM game.

Its also £4.46 on Green Man Gaming - although you need to log in with an account to view the price

thanks :smiley: have signed up for doom beta

cheaper on steam
http://store.steampowered.com/app/201810/

Purchased and activated on Steam . Thanks :sunglasses:

Thanks OP. I've been waiting awhile for this. Purchased easily as I already had a uPlay account and then just activated using the supplied key with Steam. Taking ages to download though :-(

I can confirm you enter activation key(from uplay purchase) in steam it is successful and installs and plays without going to uplay in case words alone were not enough to convince anyone :smiley:

bought :wink: .....wont be able to add key to steam til i get home, so hopefully all will be ok

This is getting more and more like HotUKDoomsdaybookdeals.

Yes, you can :smiley: The key is delivered to you instantly, and you can share as you like.

Finally, someone who shares the truth.

Because they are a pain in the **** :laughing:

They just want people to start using their client more I guess.

I'm not doubting it, but I can't see why this game would have the uPlay overlay? It's not a Ubisoft title.

​Are you guessing? Or is this the process that you go through to play this game?

Yes, its classed as double DRM, you will open the game in Steam which uses the Steam Key, once the game has started you will be prompted to login to your Uplay account. If you buy it from other sellers you wont need to login to Uplay. The same goes for Farcry 3, I purchased Farcry and recieved a Steam key but had to login to Uplay once the game starts.

sorry so your saying as a non uplay account holder, I would have to create a uplay account inorder to play the game in steam
thanks in advance

Oh ok, that's a bit of a ball ache

The game on your Uplay account would be assigned to that Steam Key, so they would need to login with your account details for Uplay either way. So you would have Steam DRM & Uplay DRM. Either way you will need to use your Uplay account details.

Read that back to myself and It sound terrible.

If you start the game in Steam, you will be prompted to login to Uplay once the game starts.

How does it work then? Do my uplay and steam account have to use the same email address? Are they linked somehow?

No, Its doesn't work like that.

Well spotted! I blame failing eyesight! I shall be purchasing this now.

Pretty sure I paid this price or less - no matter. Heated, great game, $%^& poor ending though.

Great game, well worth a fiver :sunglasses:

Thanks OP, feels like this one tool forever to drop :smiley:
