Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws Underperforms, Impacting Share Price
Ubisoft's highly anticipated Star Wars Outlaws, intended as a financial turnaround for the company, has reportedly underperformed in sales, causing a significant drop in Ubisoft's share price. This follows a first-quarter 2024-25 report where Ubisoft emphasized Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin's Creed Shadows as key drivers of future growth.
Despite positive critical reception, sales have been described as sluggish. J.P. Morgan analyst Daniel Kerven lowered his sales projection from 7.5 million units to 5.5 million units by March 2025, reflecting the game's struggle to meet expectations.
This sales shortfall contributed to a consecutive two-day decline in Ubisoft's share price beginning September 3rd. The stock fell 5.1% on Monday and a further 2.4% by Tuesday morning, reaching its lowest point since 2015 and exacerbating a year-to-date drop exceeding 30%.
While critics generally praised the game, player reception has been less enthusiastic, with a Metacritic user score of only 4.5 out of 10. This contrasts with more positive reviews from outlets like Game8, which awarded a 90/100 rating. The discrepancy highlights a potential disconnect between critical acclaim and player engagement.
