Ubisoft confirms online pass

Uplay Passport to cost $9.99.

As rumoured yesterday, Ubisoft has confirmed the impending arrival of an online pass for used copies of its games.

Dubbed the Uplay Passport, it will charge US gamers $9.99 for access to the online features of "many of Ubisoft's popular core games" when purchased second hand.

If you've bought the game new, you'll find a one-time use registration code included in the box to enable multiplayer modes and "exclusive bonus content".

Driver: San Francisco will be the first game to incorporate the system when it launches on 2nd September.

A UK price for the pass has not been confirmed at the time of writing.
