In an interview with IGN in April 2019<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9ewXj4RO5A&feature=youtu.be&t=2650</ref> Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot explains why the framework isn't being used as much anymore, stating the "tools were difficult to use". He however goes on by saying that “It’s still there, and you will see other things using it, but it’s not as predominant as it used to be”.

The majority of the UbiArt games use IPK files to store all related game files. This format is a custom archive file where multiple files can be packed, maintaining their original directory structure. Files can be compressed, which is usually only the case for larger textures. The majority of the games use ~~ZLib~~ compression while later games use LZMA.
