Forums - Nintendo - Ubisoft “very happy” with Switch sales, more games on the way

Assassin's Creed publisher Ubisoft says it will release more Nintendo Switch games. During an earnings call this week, CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed that, "We will have some Switch games next year." That could be a reference to calendar year 2018 or fiscal year 2018. 

It's no surprise that Ubisoft is committing to the Switch, as the console accounted for 19 percent of Ubisoft game sales last quarter; that is justone percentage point behind the Xbox One. This is to say, Switch is a meaningful contributor to Ubisoft's bottom line. Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom BattleRayman Legends, and Just Dance 2017 are Ubisoft's main contributors in the area of Switch sales.

During the call, Guillemot said Ubisoft is "very happy" with Switch sales so far. By Nintendo's latest count, the system had sold 7.63 million units worldwide.

Some of Ubisoft's other Switch games include Just Dance 2018 andMonopoly. Looking ahead, Ubisoft is launching Steep and Starlink: Battle for Atlas on the system.

Battle for Atlas is confirmed to launch in 2018 while Steep is without a release date, so those could be the Switch games that Guillemot mentioned during the presentation. Keep checking back with GameSpot for the latest.

Sweet. Really hoping for a sequel to Mario + Rabbids sometime. Include Rayman and it will sell even better!

Considering Ubisoft's attempt at Tetris, it probably isn't anything amazing.



Good news for Switch support, but we still don't know exactly what sustained sales on X1 and PS4 to see how much the gap is due to only having new game for Switch and legacy for others.
