While Ubisoft is already facing hardships when it comes to game sales and tumbling stock prices, it seems the studio will soon face yet another entanglement, and this time it’s with a new lawsuit.

The lawsuit identifies the plaintiffs as Trevor Lakes from California, and Alex Rajjoub from West Virginia, and it mentions how they were subscribed to Ubisoft+ and downloaded one game while they were logged into Facebook, and didn’t know that Ubisoft was sharing their info to the social platform via Pixel’s tracking feature. The filing was made in the Northern District of California, with law firm Peiffer Wolf, which specializes in privacy issues, representing the plaintiffs.

Yikes, Ubisoft just can’t catch a break. Getting hit with a lawsuit over sharing customer data with Meta is not a good look, especially when they’re already struggling.

It’s another headache for them and could hurt their reputation even more.
