Delisting
Anno 1800 was removed from sale on Steam on the same day that it was set to be released, April 16th, 2019. The game was available to pre-order on Steam until this date and Ubisoft continued to support it on the platform with updates and DLC for existing owners.
The company announced on March 29th, 2019 that they had partnered with Epic Games to release Anno 1800 on the Epic Games Store. However, the game was also released through the Ubisoft Store and on Origin.com on April 16th. The Steam Store page was updated on March 29th with the following announcement:
Notice: Sales of Anno 1800 will be discontinued on Steam after April 16th due to a publisher decision to make the game exclusive to another PC store.
The publisher has assured us that all prior sales of the game on Steam will be fulfilled on Steam, and Steam owners will be able to access the game and any future updates or DLC through Steam.
We apologize to Steam customers that were expecting it to be available for sale after the April 16th release date.
Steam Store announcement – April 16, 2019
Anno 1800 was then relisted on Steam on December 8th, 2022, having since been removed from EA’s Origin service on June 13th, 2022 when all third party releases were taken off of sale on that platform.
