Invincible Boosts Ubisoft Mobile Revenue Share

Ubisoft said mobile’s share of group net bookings nearly doubled in Q1 after the launch of Invincible: Guarding the Globe, which benefited from the March release of the fourth season of the Invincible TV series and a new in‑game character that improved acquisition, retention and monetisation. Ubisoft reported group net bookings of $291m (€256m) for the quarter, down 9% year‑on‑year but slightly ahead of guidance. Mobile’s share of total net bookings rose to 19%, up from 10% in the same period last year; Ubisoft did not disclose absolute mobile revenue figures. The earnings report makes little mention of other recent mobile launches — Rainbow Six Mobile is not referenced and The Division Resurgence is only listed as a digital‑only PC title in the Q2 schedule.
