Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws Falls Short of Expectations
Ubisoft recently admitted that their open-world game, Star Wars Outlaws, did not meet expectations. Despite solid reviews and user scores, initial sales were lower than anticipated. Ubisoft is now working hard to improve the game and attract more players during the holiday season.
Star Wars Outlaws: A Rocky Launch
Released on August 26, Star Wars Outlaws had a quieter launch than expected. Ubisoft announced a release date on Steam for November 21 to try and boost the game's presence.
The game received a Metacritic score of 76 and user scores of 3.9/5 on First Party and Epic stores. These scores reflect an immersive and authentic Star Wars universe. However, sales did not match these positive reviews.
Ubisoft's Response
Ubisoft is responding to player feedback by implementing several updates. The goal is to refine and improve the player experience and position the game as a long-term success.
- Implementing player feedback
- Releasing updates to improve gameplay
- Aiming to attract a larger audience during the holidays
Impact on Ubisoft
The disappointing launch affected Ubisoft significantly. Their stock prices fell to their lowest in nearly a decade. An unhappy investor even suggested that the company should delist due to this decline.
Despite these challenges, Ubisoft remains committed to turning things around for Star Wars Outlaws. They believe the upcoming updates will enhance the game and attract more players.
