PC Platform was most successful & profitable platform for Ubisoft in Q1
- Thread starter dex3108

Damn, im assuming MTX are included in this? Because i can see siege being what pushed it over the edge to number 1, along with division 2 of course.
Unless im forgetting a game released by Ubisoft this year.

The Division 2?
Anno 1800 and The Division 2
Held up against Activision and EA, Ubi Soft looks like darlings
Doesn't hurt that I really enjoyed AC Odyssey and that The Division 2 was stuffed with content

lol. This isn't what you should take from this.
Yves is on record saying that the decision to move their games to EGS was because they know the storefront is extremely unpopular and it drives customers directly to uPlay instead (where they get 100%).
Yves Guillemot is thanking Epic for affording him his second golden yacht.
Keep 'em coming Timmy! Ubisoft loves free cash and free marketing for their platform.
But seriously, Siege is doing serious work for Ubi.
yup the egs stuff in a way was a perfect storm for ubisoft to do that move just like ea did with their origin store, ubisoft is in a place now where they can launch games on egs because they know they will get minuscule sales their, where as if they did steam / uplay like prior most of it sells on steam,
as of now its egs/uplay, they get a bulk of cash from epic (literally daylight robbing epic frankly haha ) and then 100%money due to most sales happening on uplay now.
Wasn't that released in Q4? I believe this's referring to the the fiscal year. The majority of sales took place in that Q not this one.
Not really surprising when 95% of their games are GAAS that are multiplayer and require frequent updates.
The Division was released at the end of March, still in Q1.
The chart is about Q1 of this fiscal year, so Q1 2019 (January - March 2019)
Click the link, The Division 2 is indeed included in the fiscal report.
Oh you are right, didn't see that.
So yes, they only had Anno 1800 in April and no major console/multiplatform game.
I only care about whatever Rabbids/Rayman content comes out of Ubisoft these days, plus whatever Davide Soliani's team is working on, assuming it's not a Mario + Rabbids followup.
Starlink was a good time, though I doubt that's seen all the support it's going to at this point.

well, the only switch game from them in the recent past was assassin's creed 3 remastered while other platforms have all of their games.
The Ubisoft store seems to be working out great for them. A whooping 93% of bookings is from digital sales. But new player additions have stagnated. It's recurrent spending from existent players that's driving revenue growth.
So even with the EGS controversies and bitcoin GPU mining price inflation this only shows PC gaming is far from dead and continues to grow. It will be interesting to see how streaming and subscription services like Stadia and GamePass effect the PC gaming market.
I mean, EGS is one of the biggest reasons for this. They lured Ubisoft over to their store, so now with how deep the discounts get for Uplay keys, most people are buying Ubisoft's games on Uplay.
Also, I'd like to see population comparisons for Rainbow 6 Siege on PC vs console. Someone on Reddit tried to convince me it's more popular on PS4.

It's a sneaky play on Ubisofts part. The terrible public image of the EGS causes people to boycott games. So some people will buy those Ubisoft 'EGS exclusives' on the Ubisoft store instead.
Apparently it's The Divison 2 that's making most of the money for them. Not that I've seen that much hype for that game. Always saw it as the discount 'boring' Destiny.
Yeah, them rinsing Epic for every penny is probably a contributing factor, especially considering Anno's pre-orders were bolstered by the announcement that it would be removed on Steam on launch day. With that said, I do find it interesting that the games highlighted were Rainbow 6 Seige and Assassin's Creed Odyssey, two games which pre-dates the EGS deal. This does pose questions on the continued commercial success of The Division 2, given that its Ubisoft most recently launched service game.
They better give the next gen sequel the mother of all budgets and heavily invest in better online hit detection and severs.
So you mean the re-release because they already said there wouldn't be a Siege 2.
GaaS games tend not to get sequels. It's more profitable to release updates and MTX to an existing game than create a new one. At least until the playable numbers get too small. Then maybe they'll think of a sequel. But that could be years from now.
Yo, we came along way from sailing.
PC gaming has "around a 93-95% piracy rate" claims Ubisoft CEO
I wonder what the sales are like per title, with things like copies sold, DLC and microtransactions?

There will be a sequel eventually. It will be Re released on ps5 but I'd guess 4/5 years from now we'll have a siege 2.
LMFAO, my god, ubi has come a long way since those days where we were al filthy pirates. i for one, buy all their games day 1, so much versatility and choice in their catalog.
Indeed. PC was also number one in FY Q4 2018, which surprised me as it was the quarter The Division 2 released in. I would've expected PS4 to lead but it seems TD2 did exceptionally well on PC.
That statement was always so dumb. Denuvo had crackers on the ropes for a long while (even today for certain games), and those games that couldn't be pirated didn't magically gain millions of extra sales because of it. In fact stuff like The Witcher 3, which was DRM free, dominated sales for single-player games during that time. It goes to show how little the corporate heads understand about the industry, literally anybody with half a brain could have told you it was a service problem.
decent boost for switch2020 Update to this thread.
I wonder what happened. 🤔
