The financial reporting period has arrived, and Ubisoft was quick to announce its results for April-June 2026. This marked the first quarter of the current fiscal year for the company, and it didn’t go very smoothly.
Invincible: Guarding the Globe
- Ubisoft reported that this time its revenue decreased significantly. The company earned a total of €268.2 million for the quarter—a 13.7% drop compared to the previous year.
- Net bookings (or deferred revenue) fell by 9.2% to €255.8 million. However, initially, Ubisoft anticipated a more significant decline.
- The majority of revenue came from digital game versions—€206.2 million, which is 17.6% less than a year ago.
- Ubisoft also stated that almost all revenues were generated by back-catalog games—€221 million or 86.4%. The income from them dropped by 15.1% year over year.
- Ubisoft’s largest market remained North America, accounting for 47% of all revenues. Dividing revenue by platform: 46% came from consoles, 27% from PC, and 19% from mobile.
- The report does not disclose the size of profits/losses.
- According to Ubisoft, revenue and bookings decreased due to a so-called high base effect. The company enjoyed good income from Assassin’s Creed Shadows in the first quarter of the previous year, whereas this year there were no releases of that magnitude during the reporting period or shortly before it—Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced was launched in July, which falls into the next quarter.
- Nonetheless, Ubisoft noted that pre-orders for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced in April-June 2026 brought it €15 million.
- Separately, Ubisoft boasted about the success of Invincible: Guarding the Globe. The mobile game experienced a record-breaking quarter financially, thanks to the release of the fourth season of the animated series Invincible and the introduction of a new hero in the game.
It is worth noting that after the quarterly report was released, Ubisoft’s shares depreciated. By the market close on July 23, their price had declined by 14.18% to €4.73 per share.
