reportedly sold less in Europe throughout 2024 than did, despite Cal Kestis🦩' game releasing a year earlier ⭕in 2023.
Despite being one of the most recognisable brand of all-time, Star Wars has had a bit of a r⭕ough gᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚo of things as of late. Disney seems to have no idea what to do with the series on the big screen, while its Disney Plus outings have had a very rocky track record outsiꦿde of The Mandaloꦕrian. That Star Wars fatigue seems to have even crossed over somewhat into the wo🐓rld of video games.
Ubisoft Has Fixed Everything Wrong With Star Wars🔯 Outlaws
The quirks that made Outlaws annoying at launch𝔉 are all gone🐷.
Last year, Ubisoft lau🧸nched the first ever ✱open-world Star Wars game, Star Wars: Outlaws, which the publisher clearly thought was a jackpot waiting to happen. That wasn't the case, though, as Outlaws underperformed 🧸both critically and commercially, leaving Ubisoft in a very rough position. It seems that Outlaws' failure wasn't a case of Star෴ Wars fatigue, however.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Somehow Outperformed Outlaws In 2024
Earlier this week, , who has had a lot of misses over the past few years. Unarguably the biggest of these, though, is Star Wars 🌳Outlaws, which should have been a surefire hit as a triple-A open-world Star Wars game.
That wasn't the case, though, as the sales data shows that Outlaws has majorly underperformed, . What you might not know, though, is just how poorly Outlaws did in comparison to another recent𝓀 Star Wars game - Jedi: Survivor. According to Dring, Outlaws sold less across Europe in 2024 than Jedi: Survivor did, despite it releasing a year earlier in 2023.
It felt like🌜 a bankable hit. Yet it missed spectacularly. Across Europe, the game was the 47th best-selling game of the year, and sold less than Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which was released the year before. - Christopher Dring
There are a few factors to consider, of course. The first is that Jedi: Survivor was available for all of 2024, whereas Outlaws released in August, giving it a bit less time for sales. Jedi: Survivor also had a last-gen re-relea﷽se that might have boosted sales a bit and helped it come out ahead. Even with those factors in mind, though, it's clear 🦂that the problem lies specifically at Outlaws' an💖d Ubisoft's feet.
