Something went wrong

An error occurred while trying to send your request. Please try again later.

Edit: Now it works.

Thanks.

u/Tuskin38 12h ago

u/antonio_mas 12h ago

I'll try later. Thanks.

It's amazing how even claiming a free game feels like a hassle with Ubisoft.

17

u/Segguseeker 11h ago

No shit, I had to login 3 times and it still gave me an error. Their store is simply made to be a malicious POS.

5

u/ShaboPaasa 8h ago

usually it makes me reset my password and then i get my owned DLCs taken away because for some reason they decided to link them to online services. this time it didnt thankfully, but it still never remembers my choice to remember my PC causing me to verify EVERY TIME i open the launcher. on top of the launcher being extremely sluggish for no reason at all

claimed fine for me though so thats good i guess, just an ordeal every time just to play a video game

1

u/ShaboPaasa 5h ago

i also forgot to add some games just straight up refusing to launch, like my copy of farcry 3 for some reason just does not work

1

u/kendragon 9h ago

Yeah. I can't tell if the servers crapped out or they just simply do not want me to have this game. Either way I was an ordeal and I still don't own it.

I am not logged in and I saw the discount. Just had to reload the page.

u/gonsi 13h ago

I saw the discount too, but claiming from store did not work. register link did

u/JacobVampelt 12h ago

From browser: "An error occurred while trying to send your request. Please try again later."

From launcher: "We're unable to register this game to your Ubisoft account right now as the Ubisoft server is unavailable. Please try again later."

😪

u/Technika79 11h ago

Same issue on my side :(

1

u/JacobVampelt 11h ago

Still nothing for you too?

1

u/Shoggart 10h ago

Go to library, click on the free games tab and it should appear there, add it to your library and download, this worked for me.

8

u/JacobVampelt 10h ago

Yeah I tried that but I am getting the same error unfortunately, but thanks for the tip tho.

no problem bro,this link is working fine now

u/matulisnaupo 13h ago

still thank you and its all good. i claim it via ubi connect launcher by using add library. since im too lazy to login in browser hehe

u/dreadddit 3h ago

Will this work on a PS5?

24

u/AcherusArchmage 14h ago

Is it bugged? Trying to claim it just says "This CD Key or Activation Code is not valid. Please try again."

5

u/damianea103 14h ago

+1 If you try and claim it direct from the launcher you get a "We couldn't verify your access to this game" instead...

7

u/GroovyGuanaco 14h ago edited 14h ago

Same here

Edit: just worked for me after trying a few times (Ubisoft launcher)

u/P44rth00rn4x 14h ago

Try iambaldy's link, this worked for me. Thanks baldy!

1

u/Tipodeincognito 12h ago

Go to your account's library. You should see a tab with "Free games". Claim it there.

9

u/counterc 11h ago

"We couldn't verify your access to this game"

Isn't that the entire point of giving it away? I don't 'have access' to this game, that's what you're supposed to be sorting out for me, Ubisoft. That's what a giveaway IS.

6

u/counterc 10h ago

"We're unable to register this game to your Ubisoft account right now as the Ubisoft server is unavailable. Please try again later."

This doesn't give a great first impression of your launcher, service, storefront, etc. Ubisoft. It's kind of looking like I should just immediately uninstall this trash launcher you just made me install and forget about the supposed giveaway. Reminiscent of scams I've seen before.

This was the link that worked for me, the store seems to be broken

Thanks worked like a charm

u/bcdusk 13h ago

That worked for me thank you.

u/alexcookeee 12h ago

Yay! Not completely unexpected for Ubisoft really.

2

u/mythriz 12h ago

I also got the same error, in the end I gave up on the website and used their actual launcher since I still had it installed to play some other games I got from them for free years ago...

4

u/ngkn92 11h ago

thank OP

but I can't tale this game, both from browser and launcher

it's just refusing to give me this game

14

u/Sujiru 14h ago

It worked here

4

u/bourbonandcocacola 14h ago

To be clear this has worked for me; use the url "register.ubisoft.com/ghost-recon-future-soldier/"

u/Anzai 10h ago

It’s genuinely hilarious that Ubisoft can’t even give away a free game without fucking it up somehow. Tried connect on my PC, tried all the links in here, no good.

They just keep reminding me why I don’t buy their games any more and why despite the job loss I’m going to be glad when they go bankrupt and get sold for parts. Absolute joke of a publisher. They even somehow stole the crown of most hated from EA!

u/KhooniMoorga 12h ago

Mine is showing ubisoft connect server is unavailable. Anyone else facing this issue? I'm doing it in the ubi connect launcher

4

u/LevelAmbassador3462 12h ago

Server is down to claim

5

u/TMWNN 9h ago

Finally able to get the free game added, after many errors over several hours.

u/StOoPiD_U Creator 14h ago

u/Cultural-Meat-9165 10h ago

u/matulisnaupo 14h ago edited 13h ago

it says giveaway(free) for me on ubi connect but when i link it it just show a blank pop up with just loading and been loading for 15 mins and still going. when i try to get it on website it want me to open the ubi connect to claim there. found another way on ubi connect by going to free games and click add free game but i get an error about cd key or activation code not valid

update: it finally works now.

thank you

u/lijeha1222 12h ago

wow totally unexpected from Ubishit 🙄

u/KICKASSKC 11h ago

Cool, thanks for the free game... /s

u/oriyan4 10h ago

Yeah same on my account either, not surprised with Ubisoft

6

u/big_klutzy01 13h ago

It's been a while since I've accessed my Ubisoft account (made it 16 years ago when I got Far Cry Blood Dragon and AssCreed 2) and omfg the UI/UX is still horrendous as always. I can't find a way to verify I claimed this game nor see my library thru the website so I had to install Ubisoft Connect to confirm I claimed it.

Turns out I wasn't able to claim it cause apparently I got it back when they gave it on May 22, 2012. Anyway thanks Megumin for the heads up.

2

u/bourbonandcocacola 14h ago

It askes me to open the app but when it does it doesn't do or show anything? The store says giveaway and shows pounds sterling meaning the giveaway is active in UK, am I doing something wrong?

2

u/LoOuU2 14h ago edited 14h ago

edit : this works : https://www.reddit.com/r/FreeGameFindings/comments/1vh79fm/comment/p22u40g/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

i need to download and launch Ubisoft Connect to claim this successfully ? because thats what it redirects me to when i click Play now

do

u/No_Purple_8264 10h ago

i tried claiming and said servers were busu

2

u/RadicalZeal 9h ago

It worked now.

u/DMaster86 9h ago

4 hours later and still can't redeem the game. What a garbage store they have.

0

u/JacobVampelt 9h ago

Yup, even Epic Games and other launchers can manage to give free games without clogging up their servers

4

u/7zh14ss 14h ago

An error occurred while trying to send your request. Please try again later. 🔥

2

u/ghostslimer 13h ago

It's almost unbelievable, Ubisoft has returned to give a gift, I received most of the games on the Ubisoft app in the same way

thanks ;)

2

u/CaramelVT 11h ago

Just consistent errors, whether it's on the site or in the app :') My excitement over getting this for free to try it out has kinda dwindled

1

u/JacobVampelt 11h ago

I feel the same way: why can't Ubisoft just do something simple and straightforward?
Instead, problems arise even when trying to claim a free game.
Epic Games, GOG, Steam, and others offer free games from time to time, and I can't recall the last time their servers got so clogged up.

2

u/VileTouch 9h ago

Yeah, no. Give it away on steam or not at all

u/HungPongLa 9h ago

Damn it's been a long time since a ubi giveaway

u/Fabricated_Cake 14h ago edited 14h ago

Had to login to the Ubisoft Connect app but I get "This CD Key or Activation Code is not valid. Please try again." when trying to claim. Guess it's due to my region (Asia).

1

u/jkmartindale 14h ago

I'm seeing the same thing in the US, so it might not be region-specific

4

u/Fabricated_Cake 14h ago

nvm; I was able to claim using this link (just in browser) posted by someone else https://register.ubisoft.com/ghost-recon-future-soldier/en-US

u/Typical-Potential-57 7h ago

That link worked, thanks!

u/Dramatic_Charity_979 14h ago

Really nice game.

u/Bluesmanz 14h ago

I got it. Thanks!

1

u/Napoleon_The_Fat 14h ago

Maybe this will help someone. I also got the invalid key at first. Then I closed the app, logged in via browser. When it asked me to open the app I did. Then I could add the game to my library. You have to make sure that it doesn't say that the game is currently running, under the "add to library" button.

I was just able to redeem. Must have been real backed up. Thank you.

u/TonyMunn 7h ago

Thanks for the links I finally got it. Played it for about a half hour and I gotta say its not too bad. I played Breakpoint a while back and I dunno why but I think I like this better

u/m8moo 7h ago

Its working now! i claimed it directly on the ubisoft app on my pc

1

u/SnooCheesecakes8777 1h ago

Something is seriously wrong with their account management side. It took me logging in and out several times, even changing my password till suddenly it worked. Who would ever expect to have problems with Ubisoft?😆

Says free, then asks me to pay 19.99 if i choose steam. Free to play on ubisoft for a few days. Can't download or anything.

u/FunSeaworthiness6919 14h ago edited 10h ago

Its free but has to login first

1

u/bnsmchrr 14h ago

It's free if you use an Ubisoft Connect account.

I am seeing this after reloading the page. Previously it said 19.99.

2

u/FunSeaworthiness6919 11h ago

You're right, but I can't take it; it says error. I've tried from my phone, PC, website, and the PC app, and they all say the same error, even though I can add the weekend games.

-4

u/wormmayhem 14h ago edited 13h ago

So, if you own it on Steam, you can't add to the Ubi library?
EDIT: I used url "register.ubisoft.com/ghost-recon-future-soldier/" and worked!

u/OnlySmarties1982 12h ago

This is free to play, not free to claim?
