Summary
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor outsold Star Wars Outlaws in Europe, even though it’s an older game.
- Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws faced criticism and sales issues, losing to a 2023 game.
- The critical consensus agrees that Jedi: Survivor is superior to Outlaws, reflecting in sales and reviews.
It’s no longer a mystery that the open-world Star Wars action game from Ubisoft, titled Star Wars Outlaws, didn’t live up to anticipations in both critical and commercial aspects. Although Ubisoft hasn’t disclosed exact sales numbers, it might be more disappointing than anticipated, as even an earlier Star Wars game managed to outperform it in terms of units sold, at least in Europe.
We’ve been talking about another Star Wars game, and that’s Star Wars Jedi: Survivor developed by Respawn Entertainment. This game was launched in 2023, serving as the sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, where we found a new Force user named Cal Kestis.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Outsells Outlaws in Europe Even If It’s An Older Game
Based on a report by former Games Industry head Christopher Dring (via TheGamer), we learn about the upheavals at Ubisoft. According to Dring’s analysis, Star Wars Outlaws, which was released in Europe, ranked 47th among the year’s top-selling games and had lower sales than Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a game that came out the previous year.
Although specific sales data wasn’t disclosed, it’s clearly not a positive that a game from 2023, considered “old” in gaming terms, beat a newly released AAA title like Jedi: Survivor, especially one based on the popular Star Wars franchise. Even if Jedi: Survivor was discounted due to being an older game, it’s still surprising that its sales would surpass those of a new game with such a well-known license.
2024 has been a difficult year for Ubisoft, marked by numerous negative headlines. There were even whispers that the company could be taken over by Tencent.
2025 has not treated Ubisoft favorably so far; they have faced accusations of misconduct within the development team of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, causing another delay in its release, pushing it back to March this year.
Speaking as a gamer who’s dabbled in both Outlaws and Jedi: Survivor, I can confidently say that Respawn’s title truly shines. The critical consensus mirrors my sentiment, with the TopMob Star Wars Jedi: Survivor review echoing, “Survivor elevates everything great about Fallen Order and refines it. From the intricate combat mechanics, rich character development, jaw-dropping action sequences, to a genuinely engaging storyline, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor sets the bar high for how sequels should be approached.
Regarding Star Wars Outlaws, it’s currently rated 75 on Open Critic, and 65% of professional critics are suggesting it.
If you can’t wait for more thrilling Star Wars Jedi adventures, it’s been confirmed by EA that they are working on the third installment of the series, which will bring the trilogy to a conclusion.
