Strong Quarterly Performance Surpasses Projections

On February 12, 2026, Ubisoft released its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 through 2026, revealing net bookings of €338 million. This figure represents a double digit rise of 12% compared to the same period in the previous year and significantly exceeds the company's initial guidance of €305 million.

The overperformance was primarily attributed to high engagement within the Assassin’s Creed franchise and lucrative strategic partnerships. For the first nine months of the fiscal year, total net bookings reached €1.11 billion, an 18% increase year over year. The back catalog remains a cornerstone of the company's revenue, contributing €297 million to the quarterly total, an 11% improvement driven by titles like Assassin’s Creed, Avatar, and The Division.

Key Franchise Metrics and New Releases

The Assassin’s Creed brand continues to dominate the portfolio, with session days increasing by 28% year over year. This growth was bolstered by the December launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows on the Nintendo Switch 2 and updates for Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
