Ubisoft chief executive officer Yves Guillemot has publicly acknowledged that Star Wars Outlaws fell well short of the company’s sales expectations, selling about one million copies in its first month on the market last year. Speaking during a 21 July shareholder question-and-answer session, Guillemot said the open-world title "suffered from a number of factors," including releasing at a time when the broader Star Wars franchise was in "choppy waters." The executive’s remarks downplayed technical issues that players and reviewers cited at launch, as well as fatigue with Ubisoft’s design formula, instead emphasising what he called waning enthusiasm for the science-fiction series after mixed consumer response to recent films and streaming spin-offs. Guillemot added that the game "still had a few items that needed to be polished," but claimed those fixes were delivered in the weeks following release. Ubisoft hopes to revive interest when an updated version of Star Wars Outlaws arrives on Nintendo’s forthcoming Switch 2 console on 4 September 2025. Guillemot told investors the port would constitute "a new version of the game," suggesting the company sees the re-release as an opportunity to extend the title’s commercial life despite its initial disappointment.
