- Star Wars Outlaws soft launch caused the delay of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
- However, it has been an opener for publishers as it is now releasing games on Steam, too.
- Apparently, every team at Ubisoft has been pushing for Steam releases for years now, but the gaming giant has never listened to them.
Due to the recent failures of Ubisoft, the gaming industry is full of nothing but different types of news regarding this publisher. First, it reveals that Star Wars Outlaws sales didn’t meet expectations, which caused the delay of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
While Ubisoft will not change Yasuke as the main lead, it will address the concerns of the Japanese fandom and improve the overall game. However, the company has been missing on some major scale due to its game not being available on Steam.
A reliable insider has now revealed that every Ubisoft team has been pushing for Steam releases for years now.
Why it matters: Steam is the biggest and most loved platform on PC, and the fans don’t prefer any other launcher. So, not releasing games on this platform would mean losing the potential of millions of sales.
A reliable industry insider recently revealed that Yasuke won’t be replaced as the main lead, and the game is still targeting the February 2025 release window. He also revealed that every team has been pushing for releases on Steam for years now, and yet Ubisoft just realized the importance now.
Star Wars Outlaws’ performance has led to the approval of Assassin’s Creed Shadows being delayed to Q1 2025 but to finally putting games back on Steam
(a request that every Ubisoft team has been pushing for years).
-Industry Insider
It seems like the team has been asking Ubisoft to do Steam releases for years now, but the gaming giant has never listened. Star Wars Outlaws’ performance was seemingly the eye-opener that has led to day one Steam releases now.
Star Wars Outlaws will also be coming to Steam next month, so it is good to see the gaming giant finally realizing the worth of releasing games on Steam.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows will also see a day-one release on this beloved platform on PC, so its sales are likely to increase.
