Star Wars Outlaws Reportedly Sold Well Despite Widespread Criticism

Expert Verified By

Launch Sales Are Not Bad At All!

Story Highlight
  • Star Wars Outlaws has received widespread criticism.
  • An analyst estimates that the game sold a whopping 800,000 units in just the last few days of August.
  • This is an encouraging sign, but the game must continue to sell at this rate in the future.

Star Wars Outlaws has been out for nearly a whole month, but it seems everyone has already moved on. Following disappointing review scores and Ubisoft’s stocks taking a sharp fall, a surprising report outlines that the situation may not be as bad as it seems.

According to Ampere Analysis, the game has already sold nearly a million units.

Why it matters: Massive Entertainment or Ubisoft have yet to share any official sales data for the latest blockbuster Star Wars offering.

During the latest Gamesindustry podcast, an Ampere Analysis expert chimed in and shared estimated sales for Ubisoft’s latest launch.

The game is said to have sold 800,000 units globally in August alone. For context, Star Wars Outlaws launched in early access on August 27, with the full release following on August 30.

This means that it sold nearly 1 million units in just a few days. This is far from incredible for such a high-profile release, but the data isn’t as concerning as one might have expected.

Still, Ubisoft isn’t in the clear just yet. The publisher’s games are historically famous for losing their appeal very quickly, so Star Wars Outlaws may not sell a lot more in the coming months.

Star Wars Outlaws Could Have Been A lot Better

As is the case with most Ubisoft releases, the game will most likely receive a steep price cut soon. These factors could lead to a disappointing outcome for the publisher, but it remains to be seen exactly how Star Wars Outlaws will turn out in the long term.

As Ampere Analysis points out, the publisher has yet to find a major hit in recent years.

Games like Skull and Bones, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown have found varying degrees of success despite no shortage of efforts. The publisher will now look toward the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows for a strong finish to 2024.
