Do I need uplay in order to play Ubisoft games bought on Origin? [duplicate]

When I buy for example Far Cry 4 via Origin, will I need uplay AND Origin to start in order to play it? Or do you just need Origin OR uplay (which one)? Was wondering.

origin ubisoft-connect

Best Answer

Yes! I just started Far Cry 4 which I bought from Origin, after launching it from Origin it opens Uplay and ask for CD key. On entering it game is added to Uplay.
