Is UbisoftGameLauncher.exe safe?

Verdict
Safe

The verified Ubisoft signature and zero detections across 75 engines outweigh broad static YARA matches and one unresolved direct-IP connection.

The executable carries a verified signature from Ubisoft Entertainment, and none of 75 antivirus engines flagged it. Static YARA rules and one direct-IP connection warrant source verification, but the completed sandbox run produced no malicious verdict or offensive-only behavior.

Run with normal care

Accept it only from Ubisoft's official release channel after confirming the valid Ubisoft signature. Keep antivirus and endpoint protection enabled.

This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.

Analyst conclusion

The executable carries a verified signature from Ubisoft Entertainment, and none of 75 antivirus engines flagged it. Static YARA rules and one direct-IP connection warrant source verification, but the completed sandbox run produced no malicious verdict or offensive-only behavior.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • externalIntel.yaraify.ruleCount=15 is a strong static counter-signal, although listed rules such as 'golang' and 'DebuggerCheck__API' can match legitimate software and received no engine corroboration.
  • The 'MalwareTips.Synth.DirectIpC2' heuristic recorded contact with 162.159.36.2; contactedHosts=null leaves that IP without a completed reputation cross-check.
  • signing.signerStats.found=false, so there is no local historical sample record for this signer despite the verified trusted-publisher match.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Recommended action

Accept it only from Ubisoft's official release channel after confirming the valid Ubisoft signature. Keep antivirus and endpoint protection enabled.

7 evidence-based answers
Is UbisoftGameLauncher.exe safe?
Evidence-based answer
UbisoftGameLauncher.exe appears safe. 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged it. It carries a verified digital signature from UBISOFT ENTERTAINMENT INC.. Run it only when it came from the developer's official site or another source you independently trust.
What is UbisoftGameLauncher.exe?
Evidence-based answer
UbisoftGameLauncher.exe is a Windows executable program, about 1.7 MB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. It carries a verified digital signature from UBISOFT ENTERTAINMENT INC.. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
How many antivirus engines detected UbisoftGameLauncher.exe?
Evidence-based answer
None — 0 of 75 antivirus engines flagged UbisoftGameLauncher.exe. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
Is UbisoftGameLauncher.exe digitally signed?
Evidence-based answer
Yes — UbisoftGameLauncher.exe carries a valid digital signature from UBISOFT ENTERTAINMENT INC., which confirms the file hasn't been tampered with since that publisher signed it. A valid signature is a positive signal, but note that malware is occasionally signed with stolen or abused certificates, so it isn't proof of safety on its own.
What is the SHA-256 hash of UbisoftGameLauncher.exe?
Evidence-based answer
The SHA-256 hash of UbisoftGameLauncher.exe is 8babb95104113845bb7ece91c967513296f4f63c214fe48c5cc86e01f2af3385, and its MD5 is 577e391bdfd164c843de181e63db8e5f. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
Is it safe to run UbisoftGameLauncher.exe?
Evidence-based answer
Based on the recorded evidence, UbisoftGameLauncher.exe has a low observed risk and is properly signed. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it, verify the source and the exact hash before overriding the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of UbisoftGameLauncher.exe?
Evidence-based answer
This report reflects the scan run on September 30, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of UbisoftGameLauncher.exe is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
