This includes Star Wars Outlaws, which launched at the end of the summer. In the earnings report, Ubisoft admits that its Star Wars game “underperformed,” but it’s not done making improvements and changes.

The next major update for Star Wars Outlaws is slated for November 21, which will coincide with the game’s Steam launch. Ubisoft believes that these factors and the release of the first story pack that same day will spell good news for the Star Wars game.

Star Wars Outlaws garnered generally favorable reviews when it launched in August, including here at Shacknews. However, it failed to hit the sales figures that Ubisoft previously expected.
