If you buy a game on Steam that you already own on uPlay, you will essentially have two separate licenses for the same game. However, progress, achievements, and some in-game items may not be shared between the two platforms. To maximize the benefits, consider linking your accounts where possible or sticking to one platform for your purchases.
FAQs & Answers

- Will my progress carry over if I buy the game twice? No, progress, achievements, and in-game items may not be shared between Steam and uPlay, even if you own the game on both platforms.
- What should I do if I want to use both platforms? Decide on one primary platform for game purchases to maintain consistency, and consider account linking for any applicable benefits.
