Ubisoft has issued a press release, with its new financial report for the third quarter of its 2022-fifteen fiscal year. According to the company, the release of Assassin's Creed Unity, Kid of Light, Far Cry iv, But Dance 2022, The Crew, Trials Fusion and Frontier, Valiant Hearts and Watch Dog have helped its sales figure become higher than the targeted €730 million.

Both old-gen and current gen consoles sell meliorate than PC

As can exist seen in the image beneath, showing Ubisoft'southward sales per platform, PC sales deemed for only 9% of total units sold. Nosotros tin see that both erstwhile-gen and current-gen consoles from both Sony and Microsoft surpass that number. Nintendo's consoles remain beneath the PC.

These numbers are not surprising. Most of Ubisoft's latest titles had problems on the PC. Scout Dogs was downgraded and suffered from stuttering issues, Far Weep 4 had stuttering issues (that were lessened thanks to its patches) as well as mouse acceleration problems (that was also stock-still), and Assassin's Creed: Unity is however has problems affecting PC gamers.

Ubisoft volition probably take this every bit an indication of piracy

Unfortunately, Ubisoft will probably take this as an indication of piracy and deem the PC platform not worthy of putting whatever extra effort on. Many disappointed gamers, decided that not buying Ubisoft products was the appropriate strategy to motivate the company to spend more time optimizing the PC versions of their titles. This is by no means wrong, simply it's probable that Ubisoft will not meet information technology that way.

Personally, I would similar to be able to play the next few Assassin's Creed iterations on my PC, without having all of these technical issues. Hopefully with the release of DirectX 12 and it's implementation and use inside future engines and games some of the limitations will be alleviated. It's understandable that many gamers have lost faith in Ubisoft.
