Baisse des ventes de jeux Star Wars prévue par un analyste

Star Wars Outlaws d'Ubisoft sous-performe, ce qui a un impact sur le cours de l'action

Le très attendu Star Wars Outlaws d'Ubisoft, conçu comme un redressement financier pour l'entreprise, aurait sous-performé en termes de ventes, provoquant une baisse du cours de l'action d'Ubisoft. Cela fait suite à un rapport de ventes du premier trimestre 2024-25 dans lequel Ubisoft a souligné Star Wars Outlaws et Assassin's Creed Shadows comme principaux moteurs de croissance.

Star Wars Outlaws' Sales Predictions

Malgré un accueil critique positif, les ventes ont été décrites comme lentes. L'analyste de J.P. Morgan, Daniel Kerven, a abaissé sa prévision de ventes pour Star Wars Outlaws de 7,5 millions d'unités à 5,5 millions d'unités d'ici mars 2025. Cette performance décevante a contribué à une baisse consécutive de deux jours du cours de l'action d'Ubisoft, atteignant son plus bas niveau depuis 2015.

Ubisoft's Stock Performance

Le contraste entre les éloges de la critique et l'accueil des joueurs est notable. Alors que Metacritic affiche un score utilisateur de seulement 4,5/10, certains médias, comme Game8 (90/100), ont loué le jeu. Le rapport du premier trimestre d'Ubisoft a mis en évidence une augmentation de 15 % du nombre de jours de session et une augmentation de 7 % d'une année sur l'autre du nombre d'utilisateurs actifs mensuels (MAU), largement attribuées aux titres Games-as-a-Service. Cependant, la sous-performance de Star Wars Outlaws jette une ombre sur le redressement financier projeté de l'entreprise.

Stock Price Drop

Le succès futur d'Ubisoft dépend désormais, en partie, de la sortie prochaine d'Assassin's Creed Shadows. Les espoirs de la société concernant la valeur à long terme de ces deux titres restent à voir. Pour une analyse détaillée de Star Wars Outlaws, reportez-vous à [lien vers la revue].

Les rumeurs sur Switch 2 suggèrent un "été de Switch 2" l'année prochaine

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019.
Here’s what’s known:

Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony.
In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work.
There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio.
In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment.

In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down. So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term "cuts" may be a misinterpretation or exaggeration of internal restructuring or staff reallocation. The studio is still active and reportedly working on a new, undisclosed project — potentially a fresh IP, not a sequel to Days Gone. In short: There is no verified evidence of layoffs at Bend Studio. The studio is in a transition phase, focusing on a new, unknown project — common in the industry after a major title release. Bend Studio remains operational and part of Sony’s first-party development network.
