Star Wars Outlaws sales news: Is the game selling well?

radiotimes.com:

Since its launch, Ubisoft’s share prices have fallen — and people have been wondering what the Star Wars Outlaws sales are.

Ubisoft is yet to reveal sales numbers for the game, but we do have an idea of how well the licensed open-world game has sold by the end of August 2024, at least.

By now, the game could have sold over 1 million units.

Again, without official word from Ubisoft, we cannot say for certain how accurate these sales numbers are.
