Ubisoft Montréal is Ubisoft's largest in-house development studio, as well as the largest development studio worldwide with more than 4,000 employees. Founded in Montréal, Québec, the studio started with only 50 employees. 25 of these came from Ubisoft's headquarters in France, while the rest were new recruits. While the company originally focused their work on licensed family-friendly titles, the team achieved breakthrough success through the release of two titles: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.
Ubisoft Montreal is a massive operation based in Canada that has been active since 1997. It stands as the largest development studio worldwide with over 4,000 employees today. The company started small with just 50 people in its first year, with half of them coming from Ubisoft's headquarters in France. Their catalog on PlayPile contains 160 games where they served as developers and two titles published by them. They have released games every year from 1998 through 2025, showing a clear pattern of growth over time. The studio produced only four games in the 1990s but released 42 titles during the 2000s. This number jumped significantly to 89 games in the 2010s before settling at 18 releases in the 2020s so far. Their work primarily focuses on Adventure games with 102 entries, followed by Shooters with 66 titles. They have also made significant contributions to Tactical and Platform genres. The majority of their output targets PC, appearing on that platform in 108 games. Consoles are also a major focus, with 73 releases on PlayStation 4 and 68 on Xbox One. Their quality ratings show a mix of results across 79 titles that have been scored. The average IGDB rating sits at 73.2 out of 100. There are 23 great games rated 80 or higher, while 44 titles fall into the good range between 60 and 79. They have 11 mixed entries and only one poor game in their history. Their highest-rated work comes from the Assassin's Creed series. This includes Assassin's Creed III: Deluxe Edition at 96 points, Assassin's Creed II: Deluxe Edition at 94.6, and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood at 90. Other strong performers include Assassin's Creed: Origins and Assassin's Creed II from the late 2000s and early 2010s. Recent releases show a different trend in quality. Roller Champions from May 2022 received a score of 58.3, which falls into the mixed category. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction from January 2022 scored 70, landing it in the good range but below their peak achievements. Future titles like Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege X and Rainbow Six Mobile are scheduled for release in 2025. The studio originally worked on licensed family-friendly titles before achieving breakthrough success with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.
