PC has more “Net Bookings”/Sales than PS4 last quarter says Ubisoft
When compared to 2017/18, PC is up 79%, and UPlay is up 150%, generating 27% of the company’s revenue when compared to 18% the previous year. PC is a growing business for Ubisoft, and right now it is earning more money than Sony’s PlayStation 4.
With the release of The Division 2, Ubisoft has seen UPlay sales for the franchise increase by a factor of 10x when compared to the series’ previous outing. This is due to Ubisoft’s partnership with Epic Games, which prevented the game’s release on Steam, moving PC gamers to alternative storefronts where the publisher could benefit from an increased revenue share. High Season pass sales have also contributed to Ubisoft’s sales growth on both PC and consoles.
In Ubisoft’s last quarter, PC created the largest slice of the company’s revenue, showcasing the importance of the platform in the eyes of the publisher. This is great news for PC gamers, as this will send a clear message to the company; PC matters.
