It’s actually pronounced like the word Hue more or less (slightly shorter,the first half) it’s pronouced as such " hue - bee - soft "and the you sound is very much present in our language, for exemple baillou or caillou.
I just meant to say that it wasn’t typically a sound used for just the letter U, but fair enough! I stand corrected. I’ll gladly learn a lesson at the hands of a native lol
I’ve always said it with “you” but that makes sense.
I was only curious because of the “an” before ubisoft in the comment I replied to. If it was the “you” sound it wouldn’t feel right to say out loud and it confused me lol

Quick question is it pronounced “you be soft” or “oo be soft”?
“oo be soft” because they’re a French company (at least originally). The “you” sound for U isn’t really in their language.

Thank you for the lesson!
It stands for Ubiquitous Software, so it’s “you be soft”.
It’s neither. The French “U” sound doesn’t exist in English so I can’t really give an example from an English word.
That said, being a global company they’re probably fine with the default English pronunciation that would be “you be soft”.
