Step-by-step

1. 1Link your Ubisoft accountUbisoft Connect titles can't be purchased until your Ubisoft account is linked. Click Link Ubisoft account on the game's product page, or go to Account → Linked accounts to connect it ahead of time. You'll be taken to a secure Ubisoft login popup — on a TV or console this shows as a QR code, scan it with your phone to approve.One-time step: once linked, every future Ubisoft Connect purchase skips straight to checkout — no need to relink.
2. 2Buy the gameWith your account linked, the game's Buy button unlocks. Complete checkout as normal — Boosteroid handles the rest automatically once payment goes through.
3. 3Boosteroid registers the purchase with UbisoftBehind the scenes, Boosteroid confirms your purchase directly with Ubisoft and registers it against your linked account. No further action is needed on your end — this happens automatically right after checkout.
4. 4Play — stream instantly or installOnce confirmed, the game is added to your Ubisoft account permanently. Click Play on Boosteroid to stream it instantly with no download, or open the Ubisoft Connect app to install and play locally instead.That's it: the game now lives permanently in your Ubisoft account, however you choose to play it.

If linking or purchase doesn't go through

Login popup doesn't appear:Your browser's pop-up blocker may be stopping it. Allow pop-ups for Boosteroid and click "Link Ubisoft account" again.

Buy button stays locked:The purchase button only unlocks once your Ubisoft account is successfully linked. If it's still locked after linking, refresh the game page — the link status sometimes needs a moment to sync.

Already owned:If Ubisoft reports you already own this title, check your Ubisoft Connect library first — Boosteroid checks your existing entitlements before allowing a purchase, so this usually means it's already there.
