Star Wars Outlaws reportedly sold just 1 million copies

Star Wars Outlaws has served as a bit of a breaking point for Ubisoft fans, with the open-world title doing little to separate itself from the publisher’s other titles in the genre. In combination with no day-one Steam launch and less-than-stellar reviews, Star Wars Outlaws has seemingly not met expectations – selling just 1 million copies in its first month.

As reported by known leakers Insider-Gaming, one month on from the initial launch of Star Wars Outlaws and the game has not managed to live up to Ubisoft’s expectations, with the title having sold just 1 million copies.

For context, while not a 1:1 comparison, Ubisoft’s other relatively recent open-world game Assassin’s Creed Mirage surpassed 5 million copies by its 3rd month. for further comparison, 2019's Jedi: Fallen Order sold 8 million copies in under 3 months – so either way you split it, things aren't looking too good. 

Ubisoft has already committed to a post-launch roadmap for Star Wars Outlaws, featuring new features and fixes. This, alongside the recent reveal that the game will be coming to Steam sooner than expected, makes it quite clear that Ubisoft are hoping for stronger medium term sales. We will have to wait and see.

KitGuru says: What did you think of Star Wars Outlaws? Is it any worse than a typical Ubisoft game? Will the Steam launch give it a big enough boost? Let us know down below.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
