Paris, May 14, 2025– Today, Ubisoft released its earnings figures for FY2024-25.
Yves Guillemot, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, said, " This year has been a challenging one for Ubisoft, with mixed dynamics across our portfolio, amid intense industry competition. Despite these headwinds, Ubisoft managed to deliver positive free cash flow generation over the fiscal year, reflecting the discipline applied across the Group.
Aware of the challenges ahead, we took decisive steps to continue strengthening the company’s future. The launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows was a defining moment. It reaffirmed the power of the Assassin’s Creed brand, with a highly favorable community response from long-time fans and new players alike. We also completed our initial cost savings program ahead of schedule. We are committed to going further, with additional savings of at least €100m over the next two years to drive structural efficiencies and reinforce the foundations of our organization.
This continued focus on discipline will support our growth ambitions and the profound transformation of Ubisoft. We are currently working on reshaping the Group’s operating model and plan to announce a new organization by the end of the year.
A major step in this transformation was the announcement in March of the creation of a new subsidiary, backed by Tencent as a core strategic partner. Focused on accelerating the growth of three of our most iconic IPs, this new subsidiary will play a pivotal role in building evergreen, billion-euro brand ecosystems. We are progressing steadily toward the closing of the transaction by year-end, a key milestone that will fully deleverage the Company and position us for sustainable, long-term growth.
Additionally, after a review of our pipeline, we have decided to provide additional development time to some of our biggest productions in order to create the best conditions for success. As a consequence, FY2026-27 and FY2027-28 will see significant content coming from our largest brands.
Ubisoft is entering a new chapter, and I am confident in our ability to build a stronger, more resilient company for the benefit of all our stakeholders.”
Q4/FY Highlights
Overall, Ubisoft’s portfolio of brands has continued to perform strongly this quarter, demonstrating their power and attractiveness, with the Top 10 brands posting year-over-year net bookings growth, leading to a record fourth quarter at €902m.
Across Console & PC, activity metrics were broadly stable year on year, with solid Playtime and Session Days metrics. Unique active players and MAUs stood respectively at 134 million and 36 million this fiscal year. The Assassin’s Creed and Rainbow Six franchises have each sustained around 30 million unique active players for the fourth consecutive year while the Far Cry franchise has maintained around 20 million unique active players per year over the same period. The Group’s other brands continued to drive strong community appeal, with more than 100 million unique active players this fiscal year. The year ended with the best month of March over the past four years in terms of Session Days.
New Releases
Assassin’s Creed Shadowslaunched on March 20, delivering the second-highest Day 1 sales revenue in franchise history—second only to Assassin’s Creed® Valhalla—and setting a new record for Ubisoft’s Day 1 performance on the PlayStation digital store. Player sentiment has been overwhelmingly positive, with an average score1 of 91/100 across first-party stores, reflecting the game’s excellent quality. To date, consumer spending has clearly outperformed Assassin’s Creed Odyssey with the player count also outperforming. Players have logged 160 million hours in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, underscoring its engaging gameplay and the enduring appeal of the franchise. The game’s performance reaffirms the strength and resilience of the Assassin’s Creed brand, backed by a strong community response that highlights that the team delivered an experience that resonates with long-time fans and new players alike.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is also the first instalment built on Ubisoft’s significantly upgraded Anvil proprietary engine, setting a new benchmark for both the industry and Ubisoft’s future releases. The engine delivers a richly detailed world enhanced by improved visual fidelity, dynamic physics, and increased environmental interactivity—significantly deepening immersion.
Since launch, the game has already received updates based on community feedback and will continue to see free updates and new content to continually enrich the experience. Assassin’s Creed Shadows will continue to contribute strongly to FY2025-26 and will notably see later this year the release of the Claws of Awaji expansion, that will introduce a new region and continue the story of Naoe and Yasuke following the events of the game’s epilogue.
Back-catalog
Q4 back-catalog net bookings were up double-digit year-on-year this quarter.
In a competitive FPS landscape, Rainbow Six® Siege delivered a solid performance this year while preparing for the Siege X launch, with annual net bookings growing year-on-year, and being stable excluding partnerships. Q4 saw net bookings growth, with the launch of Year 10 Season 1, "Operation Prep Phase ", that celebrated a decade of the franchise and helped set the stage for the upcoming Siege X release. The update drove strong player engagement, achieving a record Battle Pass conversion rate one month post launch and the Membership base reached a record high at the end of March.
The quarter also featured the reveal of Siege X, which set viewership records for a Rainbow Six Siege event. Launching on June 10, Siege X represents a major evolution for the franchise and sets the foundations for the years to come. It introduces modernized 5v5 maps with enhanced visuals, a complete audio overhaul, deeper tactical gameplay features and an enriched onboarding journey for new players. It will also include a brand new 6v6 mode–Dual Front–that will add fresh dynamics by blending attacker and defender roles. Siege X will also bring an evolution to the business model, with free access to Dual Front, Unranked modes, and basic game features with the objective to significantly enlarge the player community. Upgrading to premium versions will unlock competitive modes, Ranked and Siege Cup. Finally, the Anvil engine upgrade will also enable much stronger quality and velocity of content releases for the years ahead, two key success factors in this segment.
Elsewhere in the back-catalog, The Crew® Motorfest posted a strong performance this quarter and pursued its increasingly growing momentum, with activity and engagement metrics up high double digits. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora™ continued to attract new players and saw activity up double-digits sequentially this quarter.
B2B
Q4 was marked by significant partnerships, albeit to a lower extent than last year, highlighting the value of Ubisoft’s back-catalog of games, cloud streaming rights and including a new mobile opportunity on one of its leading franchises with strong expansion potential, notably in Asia.
Group’s transformation
Reshaping the organization and optimizing product roadmap
Ubisoft is continuing to execute on its strategic focus around two core verticals, Open World Adventures and GaaS-native (Games-as-a-Service) experiences, with the objective to transform its portfolio with more evergreen offerings. To support this vision, the Company is currently working on reshaping its operating model with the objective to better meet player needs, deliver superior game quality and drive disciplined capital allocation. Management targets to announce the new organization2 by the end of the year.
After a thorough review of its pipeline that took place from October to December, the Group decided to provide additional development time to some of its biggest productions in order to create the best conditions for success. This decision has already been beneficial to the quality of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. As a consequence, FY2026-27 and FY2027-28 will see significant growth vs. FY2025-26 on the back of strong content coming from the Group’s largest brands.
The New Subsidiary to drive growth of three iconic IPs
As part of this transformation, Ubisoft announced in March the creation of a New Subsidiary which will play a pivotal role in accelerating the growth of three of its most iconic IPs, Assassin’s Creed, Rainbow Six, and Far Cry, that are well positioned in high-growth markets like Open World and LiveOps and served by a very powerful 5-year line-up to come. Backed by growing investments and Tencent’s expertise as a core strategic partner, the New Subsidiary will focus on building brand ecosystems capable of becoming evergreen, billion-euro franchises. This includes:
- Improving the quality of narrative-driven solo experiences,
- Expanding live service offerings with richer multiplayer features and more frequent content updates,
- Significantly enhancing content creation by leveraging Ubisoft’s technological stack,
- Scaling into underpenetrated markets such as mobile and China.
Update on the announced transaction with Tencent
The transaction with Tencent crystalizes the true economic value of three of Ubisoft’s leading franchises. The minority nature of the transaction enables Ubisoft to maintain control of these IP, retain financial consolidation as well as safeguard strategic alignment with the Group and maintain upside on these franchises while immediately strengthening its balance sheet. It will be steered by a dedicated leadership, with a team that will include external hires, and that will be advised by industry veterans.
With this transaction, Tencent will invest €1.16bn in a primary issuance by the New Subsidiary, acquiring an approximate 25% economic interest. At closing, at least €500m will be upstreamed to Ubisoft, ensuring sufficient working capital needs of the New Subsidiary at start.
As part of this transaction, the New Subsidiary would be granted a worldwide, exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual license in respect of the IP and similar proprietary rights owned or licensable by Ubisoft in relation to Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six, Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry. In exchange, Ubisoft will receive a royalty, based on a percentage of the New Subsidiary’s annual revenue, which is expected to exceed €80m per year in the coming years. The implied value for Ubisoft of this license is at least €1bn, in addition to the c. €4bn pre-money Enterprise Value of the New Subsidiary. In other words, this crystallizes the value of these three brands and their operations at a minimum of €5bn, a significant benefit to Ubisoft stakeholders.
Going forward, the New Subsidiary will be financially autonomous, and liquidity will continue to be upstreamed through license royalties and cash pooling. Overall, the transaction will enable to fully deleverage Ubisoft and provide flexibility to both sustain growth of select franchises and transform the Group’s organization while reaching a consolidated net debt position of around zero.
Additionally, Ubisoft will provide the New Subsidiary with specific shared services, including technological and Online Services as well as co-development resources, remunerated on an arm’s length basis.
The carve-out is progressing well and the completion of the transaction continues to be expected by the end of 2025. The first condition precedent has been satisfied with the issuance of the fairness opinion from the independent expert Finexsi, that concluded that the transaction is fair from a financial standpoint for Ubisoft shareholders.
Cost reduction initiatives
Ubisoft’s initial cost reduction program–targeting a €200m reduction in the fixed cost base3 by FY2025-26 compared to FY2022-23–was achieved ahead of schedule and slightly above the objective.
Thanks to continued discipline in recruitment and targeted restructurings, the Group’s total headcount stood at 17,782 at the end of March 2025, representing a decrease of around 1,230 employees year-over-year, and a decrease of around 3,000 since September 2022, while bringing attrition back to Ubisoft’s lowest record levels, notably for senior positions.
The FY2024-25 fixed cost base stood at around €1.55bn, down €205m and 12% versus the FY2022-23 base. This includes a favorable foreign exchange impact. Compared to FY2023-24, the fixed cost base is down €55m, with nearly no foreign exchange impact.
Looking ahead, Ubisoft plans to further reduce its fixed cost base by at least an additional €100m over the next two years, supported by increased selectivity in investment allocation, ongoing targeted restructurings and strict control on recruitments.
