Ubisoft Says xDefiant Helped With Early 2024 Financial Success

As an avid gamer and long-time fan of Ubisoft, I couldn’t be more thrilled with the company’s recent financial report for the 2025 fiscal year. The launch of xDefiant has exceeded all expectations, with its free-to-play model attracting a massive player base of 10 million in just the first two weeks! It’s truly impressive to see such success, and I’ve personally enjoyed every moment of it.


I was thrilled to learn that Ubisoft shared their financial report for the initial quarter of their 2025 fiscal year last Thursday. The excitement didn’t stop there, as they received applause for the successful debut of xDefiant – their new free-to-play shooter game.

Based on the announcement from the company, xDefiant experienced a promising beginning after its launch on May 21.

“The studio reported that the game exceeded predictions, primarily due to successful acquisitions and substantial daily revenue per user.”

Within just two weeks after being released, xDefiant attracted a massive player base of 10 million people. Furthermore, the game underwent several upgrades with the introduction of two new game modes: Capture the Flag and Team Deathmatch.

It’s Not Just xDefiant

Ubisoft reports that the strong performance of xDefiant is not the only factor contributing to their early financial achievements. They also mention the significant revenues generated by Rainbow Six Siege, The Crew, and Assassin’s Creed, amounting to $316.5 million. This represents an 8.3% increase compared to the previous year and a 5.5% surplus over initial expectations.

Ubisoft additionally anticipates that the upcoming releases of Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed Shadows will contribute significantly to their annual earnings. The predicted revenue for the second quarter is approximately $545 million or €500m.

In conclusion, the studio expressed its commitment once more to broadening its Games as a Service (GaaS) collections. They highlighted the plans for The Crew Motorfest in Year 2 and the upcoming Season 3 content for Skill and Bones.

In fiscal year 2025, Rainbow Six Mobile and The Division Resurgence will no longer be released. The development teams are devoting additional time to perfect these projects, ensuring they meet high standards and optimal key performance indicators within a competitive and vast marketplace.
