Star Wars Outlaws Suffered Due to Franchise’s State

Star Wars Outlaws Struggles Amid Franchise’s Challenging Period and Early Launch Woes

Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws did not meet expectations, a fact acknowledged by Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot in a disclosure to investors. Guillemot attributed the game’s underperformance primarily to the challenging state of the Star Wars franchise itself. Its release coincided with a period of brand uncertainty, placing it at an immediate disadvantage. Furthermore, a lack of polish at launch negatively impacted early sales. Despite receiving post-launch updates and two expansions that introduced new gameplay features, the initial rocky launch, compounded by the ongoing controversies surrounding the Star Wars brand, hampered Star Wars Outlaws’ overall performance. The fanbase has been divided by creative decisions made since the release of The Last Jedi in 2017 and The Rise of Skywalker in 2019. Recent Disney series have also contributed to the brand’s difficulties.
