Despite being a major release for Ubisoft this year, the launch of Star Wars Outlaws has had less than stellar sales. Physical launch sales in the UK were reportedly 55 percent lower than Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Though some data (including digital sales) was still required, it hasn’t helped the publisher’s stock.

The latter dropped to lows not seen since December 2014, hitting €15.45 at this time of writing. J.P. Morgan analyst Daniel Kerven also revealed (via Reuters) that it had “struggled” to meet the firm’s sales expectations “despite positive critical reviews.” Kerven adjusted sales expectations to 5.5 million by March 31st, 2025, down two million from previous predictions.

Ubisoft hasn’t revealed any sales data for the sci-fi open-world title since it launched last week for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Stay tuned for more details from Gfk and Circana in the coming weeks.
