Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry and Rainbow Six will soon have their developments "spearheaded" by Ubisoft and Tencent's new €4 billion baby

Well, there you go. After all the chatter about Ubisoft and Tencent possibly doing a business thing together, the mega-corps have gone and done one. It's a deal to create a new mini-Ubisoft subsidiary that'll "spearhead development" on the Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and Rainbow Six series.

Well, there you have it folks. After months of uncertainty over share price falls, major game delays and squabbles with investors, Ubisoft have opened up a new subsidiary to look after their biggest-selling Assassin's Creed, Rainbow Six, and Far Cry games, with Tencent chucking in a whopping €1.16 billion - meaning that the latter will have a 25% stake in the new spin-off business when all is said and done.

Rainbow Six Siege and GTA 5 now "Playable" on Steam Deck, despite anti-cheat

Valve has just issued an update to its Steam Deck compatibility ratings for GTA 5 Enhanced and Rainbow Six Siege, declaring them both as Playable.

While GTA 5 Enhanced's main offline mode doesn't require anti-cheat, GTA Online does, as does Rainbow Six Siege, leaving a question mark over why the rating has been changed.
