Ubisoft Stock Decline Follows Poor Star Wars Outlaws Launch
Short IGN-styled description here.
Ubisoft's Stock Hits Lowest Since 2015
Ubisoft is facing a stock decline following the disappointing launch of Star Wars Outlaws. Analysts link the downturn to a lukewarm player response and decreasing interest in the multiplayer shooter XDefiant. Currently, Ubisoft's stocks are at their lowest since 2015.
Gamer Ratings and Critic Reviews Clash
While critics have given Star Wars Outlaws relatively positive reviews, users on Metacritic have rated the game at just 4.9 out of 10. Despite having a budget that was 30% larger than last year's Assassin's Creed Mirage, the game has also seen 15% less interest on Twitch.
Sales Expectations Lowered
In reaction to these developments, a J.P. Morgan analyst has adjusted their sales expectations for Star Wars Outlaws from 7.5 million to 5.5 million copies by the end of March 2025.
