Star Wars Outlaws Fails to Meet Expectations, Says Ubisoft

Ubisoft has acknowledged that its open-world game, Star Wars Outlaws, did not perform as well as expected. Despite receiving solid ratings, the game’s initial sales fell short of internal forecasts. Ubisoft shared this update in a recent financial report, where they also announced a new release date for the game’s Steam version.

“Despite solid ratings (Metacritic 76) and user scores across the First Party and Epic stores (3.9/5) that reflect an immersive and authentic Star Wars universe, Star Wars Outlaws initial sales proved softer than expected,” Ubisoft stated. The company is now focusing on updates to enhance the player experience during the upcoming holiday season to boost the game’s long-term success.

Ubisoft’s Next Steps

Ubisoft has mobilized its development teams to swiftly implement updates aimed at improving the game based on player feedback. The goal is to attract a larger audience and position the game as a strong performer in the long run.

The underperformance of Star Wars Outlaws has had significant consequences for Ubisoft. The company’s stock dropped to a near ten-year low, and a frustrated investor has even called for Ubisoft to go private. As Ubisoft prepares to release the game on Steam on November 21, it remains to be seen if these updates can help turn the tide for Star Wars Outlaws.
