Ubisoft Confirms Star Wars Outlaws Underperformed, Announces Steam Release

Ubisoft has acknowledged that its open-world game Star Wars Outlaws underperformed and has set a November 21 release date for Steam.

In a financial update, Ubisoft revealed that Star Wars Outlaws had a "softer than expected launch," despite solid reviews (Metacritic 76) and decent user ratings (3.9/5). Ubisoft cited the game's immersive Star Wars universe but acknowledged that initial sales fell short of expectations.

In response, the development team is working on updates to improve the game and attract a larger audience during the holiday season, aiming to position Star Wars Outlaws as a long-term success.

The news follows a sharp drop in Ubisoft’s share price after the game's August 26 release, with one investor even urging the company to consider going private amid the downturn.
