Ubisoft Unveils Its Own Game-Friendly Version Of Siri
The makers of Assassin's Creed and Far Cry have debuted a virtual assistant named Sam that will help you find info on Ubisoft games.
The Ubisoft Club mobile app now has a new virtual assistant, which lets players talk to a A.I. assistant much like they use other services like Siri and Cortana. For example, you can ask Sam how much time you’ve spent playing certain Ubisoft games, see what your friends are up to, and ask for personalized tips about things to do in games you’ve been playing.
Sam goes into beta in Canada starting today, and should roll out to other countries soon. Check out the video below for more info.

Our Take
I can’t imagine that I’ll actually spend a lot of time talking to Sam, but its neat to see more uses for virtual assistant. I’m mostly disappointed that this computer isn’t using Sam Fisher’s voice.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
