Star Wars Outlaws struggles with slow sales, hitting only 1 million units

Star Wars Outlaws, released in late August, has sold only 1 million copies worldwide across all platforms. This figure falls below initial expectations and earlier reports that suggested the game had sold 800,000 copies by the end of August.

Ubisoft's game Star Wars Outlaws has only partially hit sales targets designed by the publisher since its late August release. 

Initial signals were that the video game was underperforming, and Ubisoft confirmed just last week in its latest earnings report that first sales for the game proved to be "softer than expected." 

While the company hasn't commented officially on sales numbers, a new report sheds some light on that. According to multiple sources, Star Wars Outlaws has sold a total of only 1 million copies all over the world on all platforms to date. 

With the scale and anticipation for this title, that figure falls below any estimation by a long shot. It's a continuum of the slow momentum noted earlier as earlier reports had suggested the game had sold 800,000 copies by the end of August. 

This means that the sales have only slightly gone up for the successive months.It now looks toward the holiday season to improve it. Several patches and content updates are part of the pipeline, along with the first major expansion due to go live on November 21.

Star Wars Outlaws will also hit Steam on the same day, a move Ubisoft hopes will spur more sales. Star Wars Outlaws is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. 

It remains to be seen if this holiday push-and new updates-will push the title toward the success Ubisoft had originally expected.
