No, you cannot directly redeem Ubisoft games on Steam. Ubisoft games often require Uplay (now rebranded as Ubisoft Connect) to activate and play. Even if you purchase a Ubisoft game through Steam, you'll likely need to link your Steam account to Ubisoft Connect. To play a Ubisoft game, redeem your game directly on Ubisoft Connect or purchase it through the platform where you intend to play.
