A week ago we received the highly anticipated Star Wars: Outlaws, the first open-world game in the galactic saga and the first developed by Ubisoft. A title that moves away from the direction shown by EA and Respawn with their Star Wars Jedi saga and puts us in control of Key Vess. A title that has not yet convinced the specialized critics, with an average score on Metacritic that disappointed its creative director.
On the other hand, sales were also not convincing. Although it was not a failure, Massive Entertainment’s new game sold below expectations.
Star Wars: Outlaws, below Assassin’s Creed Mirage in sales
For example, it has been confirmed that its physical sales in the UK They were 55% higher than Respawn games. In additionaccording to Christopher Dring from GameIndustry, Star Wars: Outlaws reportedly sold half as many copies as Assassin’s Creed Mirage, a smaller game, when it launched.
These figures still come from physical and UK sales, but they clearly indicate that the title is not reaching the expected levels in terms of sales. This may be due to departure planned for the end of Augustbeing the first in a calendar packed with big upcoming games, such as Space Marine II, annual sports titles and the already upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
Despite all this, the economic performance of Star Wars: Outlaws is reportedly much better than the studio’s last game, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. The game set in James Cameron’s universe was released in December and had poor sales results. In this way, Outlaws would have sold a little more than double, while having the possibility of increasing its sales in the last months of the year.
