Even the GOG version uses Ubisoft's servers for the leaderboards. When you launch the game, it will attempt to connect to Ubisoft servers for the daily challenges. If you block the game in your firewall, it simply says "Cannot connect to server" but still lets you play everything offline. The core game is never locked behind Uplay.

For many, Uplay is seen as unnecessary bloatware. It consumes RAM, requires yet another account and password, occasionally loses save files during sync errors, and forces an extra layer of DRM between you and your game. If you bought Rayman Legends on Steam, you know the drill: you click "Play" on Steam, Uplay launches, you wait for it to log in, and then the game starts.
If you already own the game on Steam, Steam normally forces Uplay to open in the background. You can minimize this intrusion by forcing both clients into offline mode. Open and go to the top-left menu. Select Go Offline and restart Steam. Open Ubisoft Connect separately.
All games on GOG are stripped of digital rights management software.

Problem playing Rayman on the deck via Ubisoft : r/SteamDeck
For those stuck with the Steam version, the "permanent offline mode" trick works 80% of the time. But if you truly want to uninstall Ubisoft Connect forever, the GOG offline installer is the only graceful exit from the launcher labyrinth.
For users seeking more technical or specialized ways to avoid the launcher, several community-driven methods exist.
Steam Deck and Linux desktop environments frequently fail to launch the game because the embedded login window breaks under standard compatibility layers. Forcing a strict local architecture fixes this completely.
I can’t help with bypassing or circumventing digital rights management, activation services, or other product protections (including using games without required platforms like Uplay). That would enable piracy or violate terms of service.
