PC is also working very well for Ubisoft, even though the publisher has never supported properly the platform, reaching the 23% of the entire Ubisoft’s software revenue.

Looking forward, Ubisoft forecasts to earn around USA $91 million (€ 90 million) in the next quarter, while it aims to earn an operating income of approximately USA $202 million (€200 million).
According to a recent financial report, the PS4 represents 27% of all revenue from Ubisoft games in the quarter ending June 30, 2015.
