In August 2024, the game titled “Star Wars Outlaws” was launched, but unfortunately, it didn’t do well at all. This information emerged amidst Ubisoft grappling with financial difficulties and poor stock market performance.

Star Wars Outlaws didn’t deliver on expectations

According to Ubisoft’s Chief Financial Officer, Frederick Dugué, the game Star Wars Outlaws has not been performing as well as expected.

The news is about the recent content upgrade for the game, and during the call, Dugue expressed optimism to investors that “Star Wars Outlaws” will have a promising future.

According to Dugue, thanks to recent title updates, the game has now achieved a top-tier quality and is widely appreciated by fans as the most engaging and interactive portrayal of the Star Wars universe. This game is expected to remain popular for an extended period.

Players not interested in Star Wars Outlaws

However, according to the game’s developers, fans aren’t playing the game.

According to Pirate_Nation’s account, the developers of SW (assuming this refers to Star Wars) acknowledged that very few players are interested in their game, to such an extent that not a SINGLE player has managed to unlock a mount by participating in the mini-games.

Ubisoft troubles

According to a report issued by Ubisoft last September, the updated goals primarily represent decisions made regarding Assassin’s Creed Shadows and the less-than-anticipated debut of Star Wars Outlaws.

Ubisoft’s shares have experienced a significant decline since their peak in 2018 and 2021, falling approximately 90% from their all-time highs. Additionally, they have decreased by about 56% from their one-year maximum. Following the launch of Star Wars Outlaws in August 2024, the stock price dropped a further 40%.
