The company will release games on Steam from day one.
Ubisoft
Ubisoft confirmed that Star Wars Outlaws underperformed, which isn't surprising for anyone: the game has been criticized from the first gameplay videos.
The company announced its decision in a recent conference call, where it also called Outlaws' ratings "solid," despite its creative director Julian Gerighty expressing his disappointment with reviews earlier.
"Additionally, despite solid ratings (Metacritic 76) and user scores across the First Party and Epic stores (3.9/5) that reflect an immersive and authentic Star Wars universe, Star Wars Outlaws initial sales proved softer than expected," Ubisoft said (via Insider Gaming.)

As a result, the studio decided to implement updates to "polish and improve the player experience in order to engage a large audience during the holiday season."
Moreover, Ubisoft is going back to releasing its games on Steam from day one, starting with Assassin's Creed Shadows, which has been postponed until February 14, 2025, and whose press previews at the Tokyo Game Show have reportedly been canceled.
Star Wars Outlaws will be coming to Steam on November 21. Meanwhile, Ubisoft will be reviewed, with the aim of improving execution and accelerating its "strategic path towards a higher performing model."
