After delaying the highly anticipated financial report for a few days, Ubisoft finally published the results of the first half of FY26, which came contrary to the negative expectations that accompanied the recent suspension of trading, the new report reflects a strong financial performance and clear growth in most of the company’s business categories.
According to the report, net bookings increased by 20% year-on-year to reach 772 million euros, while digital revenues saw a remarkable 30% growth compared to the same period last year, and the most striking category is the recurring player investment, which jumped by 52%, indicating an increase in demand for ongoing content and paid in-game items.
According to the company’s official statement, this outperformance was supported by stronger-than-expected partnerships that contributed to the strength and appeal of Ubisoft’s portfolio. The company also noted that legacy game sales were solid and within expectations, despite the mixed performance of some titles.
The report noted that the Assassin’s Creed series performed “above expectations,” fueled by positive momentum, likely due to the success of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, one of the series’ best releases in recent years, as well as the strong performance of Mirage.
Ubisoft recorded more than 34 million monthly active players across its portfolio during the period, while unique active users reached 88 million in the first half, reflecting a strong presence and continued growth in the player base.
The report also stated that Tencent’s investment in Vantage Studio is moving towards final closure after meeting all required conditions and is expected to be finalized in the coming days.
These results reflect a positive and encouraging phase for Ubisoft after a period of uncertainty and anxiety, and the strong performance across various segments indicates that the company is stabilizing and continuing to regain its position within the gaming industry.
