Ubisoft reported a 31.4% decline in revenues, totaling €990 million, alongside a 51.8% drop in net bookings for the third quarter. The company's stock fell by 52% following the announcement. Despite these challenges, Ubisoft is optimistic about its upcoming release, Assassin's Creed Shadows, set to launch on March 20, with solid pre-sales expected to help boost revenues. Meanwhile, Starbreeze, the developer behind the Payday franchise, is facing its own financial difficulties, reporting a full-year loss of $18.5 million in 2024. The company has laid off 23 developers from its French branch and continues to struggle with declining sales of Payday 3, although it maintains a positive outlook for the future.
