Steps to redeem Watch Dogs 2 for free on Uplay

Ubisoft recently announced a free giveaway of Watch Dogs 2 and the game was set to be redeemed during the Ubisoft Forward event. However, things did not go well as the high demand crashed the Ubisoft servers, which means that a large number of people could not log in to Uplay and were subsequently unable to claim their free copy.

This gave rise to frustrations among the players who were waiting to grab the game for free since Ubisoft's announcement.
