Ubisoft Entertainment SA (/ˈjbisɒft/; French: [ybisɔft];[5] formerly Ubi Soft Entertainment SA) is a French video game publisher headquartered in Saint-Mandé with development studios across the world. Its video game franchises include Anno, Assassin's Creed, Driver, Far Cry, Just Dance, Prince of Persia, Rabbids, Rayman, Tom Clancy's, and Watch Dogs.

Ubisoft is led by chairman and CEO Yves Guillemot. The company first achieved commercial and critical success with their 1995 platform game Rayman. In 1996, the company began to expand to other parts of the world, opening studios in Annecy, Shanghai, Montreal and Milan. In recent years, Ubisoft has struggled financially, with a strong decline in revenue in 2024, and laying off 185 employees in 2025.[6][7]
