In its semi-annual report, Ubisoft also revealed the performance metrics of its key games and related statistics. We've compiled the main highlights.
Star Wars Outlaws
- The total time spent in the company’s games increased by 9% year-over-year, while the number of gaming sessions rose by 6%. Rainbow Six Siege was the main driver, showing double-digit growth in these metrics.
- The MAU increased by 3% to 37 million, and over the last 12 months, the company attracted 138 million users on PC and consoles.
- The number of active players in Rainbow Six Siege and Assassin’s Creed franchise games exceeded 30 million over the past 12 months.
- Sales of Star Wars Outlaws did not meet expectations. Currently, teams are working on improving the game and preparing it for release on Steam. The company anticipates a sales boost during the holiday season.
- The metrics for the free-to-play shooter XDefiant also fell below expectations. Despite a strong start, the game's metrics soon began to decline.
- However, Ubisoft plans not only to continue developing XDefiant but also to expand its portfolio of live-service games, including the Rainbow Six Mobile currently in development.
- Ubisoft emphasized that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released on time. The recent delay to February 14, 2025, is primarily for additional polishing following the criticism of Star Wars Outlaws.
