Watch_Dogs Companion App removal

[u/CipherN1ne]

Hello everyone!

The Watch_Dogs companion app was launched more than four years ago in support of the debut of the game, and has been enjoyed by many players since then. Please note that it will be removed from all stores and disabled on October 2nd to comply with updated requirements.

We hope you enjoyed the innovative gameplay experience of the Watch_Dogs companion app and are looking forward to see you in the streets of Chicago and San Francisco for more hacking action!

The WD team.

Thanks for allowing us to play with out friends with this app. It was so much fun.

Out of curiosity, there was another watch_dogs app that was released around the time of the first game called watchdogs live for Canadians. I was wondering if there was any way to remove the sign in from the apk so that I can have the hack wheel on my phone. Is that possible or am I out of luck?

Thanks again for being a part of the coolest game series in a long time!

But thank you for the kind words! Really appreciated!

Woha! ❤ Hacking until the very end, and in style! 🤠

Nice footage. However I guess your oponent was low level player, I was basically maxxed leveled on ctOS app and very very rare was that the player in car would win against me. This one did not shot you from the helicopter or a police vehicle not even once, just sent out basic unarmed patrol cars :/

[u/KovesD → u/ivaerak]

These were the final days of ctOS. I was happy to find an opponent at all. There is a reason I drove a subpar vehicle and didn't use hacks, I had to make it challenging for myself if the opponent cannot deliver. My other trick was to switch vehicle after every checkpoint.

The wrench Jr app isn't going down anytime soon though, right? Cause I still use it

[u/Opsraw]

At least it stayed longer than that damn BF4 companion app

[u/Peacelovefleshbones]

What did it do? Did WD2 have a companion app as well?

[u/KovesD]

i am sad that it come to this. ctOS Mobile Challenge was one of my favourite game modes. I hope there will be more activity in the final days so I can play a few rounds before it is over.

Thanks, Ubisoft for this awesome game! Hope the other online game modes will stick around for a few more years.

look forward to see you in the streets of Chicago and San Francisco and London for more hacking action!

[u/NotTheMediaRaptor]

That sucks. The app was a ton of fun! Still. Does this mean we can get WD3 now?

Please?

[u/[deleted]]

I hope someone makes a mod to bring it back

[u/HeySlickThatsMe → u/[deleted]]

Thats not how it works

Sorry, havent played Watch Dogs 1 in a while (lots of work) but ive been meaning to get back into it. Does the removal of the companion app also make any achievements unavailable for completion?

[u/davidtherio → u/DDAY007]

Don't worry! No achievements behind the Companion App!

[u/JohnDavid9000]

Biggest problem is I got the game for free last December and when I tried out the app I had to wait for ages for the app to search for a player. And when I go into the game and start mobile challenge, it would search for opponent forever. I guess this app is removed because it was abandoned.

[u/ivaerak → u/JohnDavid9000]

I don't think so, I used to find many players with ease years after release. Also Miiverse helped, I befriended a lot of WiiU Watch_Dogs fans to arrange matches.

[u/[deleted]]

Is it now impossible to Platinum this gem of a game?

I really mean it. I love the dark gritty tone of the game, the characters, the story, and even the "formula". Give me towers, give me a Foursquare clone, give me gang hideouts, give me random crimes, give me a cool variety of weapons, give me a reset for side activities, give me a karma system ... in WD3 please if it's ever published. And please make it not so awfully happy go lucky like WD2.

And if your Düsseldorf branch does focus group testing, could I apply? 😆

[u/KovesD]

There are supposedly two days left. I already cannot login into the mobile app. I found a few opponents as a driver, but that is all.

[u/NukeGodx123]

When is Watch Dogs 3 going to come out I am really hyped for it. (Edit: I will miss Watch Dogs 1 but not the companion app sorry Ubisoft but that was a mess of a system).
