If i buy a Ubisoft game on Steam will it appear in UPLAY list as well?

I want to buy on sale a Ubisoft game on Steam. The only problem is that i want to collect all Ubisoft games on UPLAY. If i buy the game on Steam will it appear in the UPLAY games list? so i will be able to just launch UPLAY instead of Steam to play the game?

Best Answer

This is my complete experience with Steam and UPlay.

Mini description:

Ubisoft games bought on Steam are unlocked on UPlay as well but the game files and DLC are downloaded/bought on Steam.
Achivements are unlocked on UPlay, if you remove the game from Steam they will remain on UPlay but you wont be able to install the game.

I have bought on sale Assassin's Creed Unity, i installed it through Steam, i have press the "Play" button and a popup appeared asking me to link the Steam account to Uplay. After i have connected them AC Unity appeared on my Uplay account games list.

I have uninstalled AC Unity from Steam and i have tried to install it via UPlay but i couldnt't do that, Steam launched. I couldn't buy any DLC via UPlay, even though the game appears in UPlay it is still a Steam game. The achievements are on UPlay but the game files and DLC are through Steam.

Than i have asked for a refund, the game disappeared from Steam but i still have the unlocked achievements on UPlay.
