Star Wars Outlaws Surpasses 1 Million Sales, But Ubisoft Is in Crisis

According to Insiders Gaming and a journalist Tom Henderson, star wars outlaws only now reached the mark of 1 million copies sold, which has become a serious problem for UbisoftThe expensive project required a lot of resources, including licensing fees. Disney and promotion of the game. To reach the break-even point, star wars outlaws should sell millions of copies at full price, which now seems all the less likely.

Ubisoft itself admitted that it expected much more success from the game. Early trailers and demos star wars outlaws impressed players who were eager to explore the open world as a new character. However, the gameplay videos released before the release failed to attract a large enough audience, and interest in the game began to wane.

Despite Ubisoft's promises to fix bugs and improve stealth mechanics, the negative reception has already hurt the game's sales. Insider Gaming's sources don't believe patches will make much of a difference.

For mid-budget projects, a million copies sold may be enough, but for games of the category AAA or YYYY - this is clearly not enough. For example, Spider-Man 2 from Sony sold in a circulation of 7,2 million copies to reach the break-even point and surpassed the mark 11 million copies by April 2024. Last year Assassin's Creed Mirage from Ubisoft sold more than 5 million buyers in three months.
