2024 saw an interesting turn of events: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, released by Respawn Entertainment in 2023, outperformed Ubisoft’s 2024 title, Star Wars Outlaws, in terms of units sold. This is surprising because, given the popularity of the IP, we might have expected more sales for Outlaws. Although exact numbers weren’t disclosed, in Europe alone, Outlaws ranked as the 47th best-selling game of that year.
The intriguing data is derived from a VGC report by ex-GamesIndustry.biz journalist Christopher Dring, published in 2025, painting a fragile picture of Ubisoft (thanks to TheGamer for the info). Here are some points to ponder: ‘Survivor’ was launched on older generations of consoles, possibly contributing to its success, and ‘Outlaws’ debuted in August, meaning it had a relatively short sales period of about six months. However, this likely won’t provide much solace to the Guillmont family, as financial predators have already picked up on Ubisoft’s vulnerability, and are closing in.
