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 Shuts Down Rainbow Six Mobile After 7 Months
Ubisoft has announced the closure of Rainbow Six Mobile, a tactical FPS for iOS and Android, just seven months after its global launch. The final season will launch next week and remain playable until January 15, 2027, after which the servers will be shut down. According to AppMagic, the game generated approximately $5.3 million in in-app purchase revenue from 13.1 million downloads, including an extended soft launch that began in 2023. The game was first announced in April 2022 and involved 11 Ubisoft studios, with development led by Ubisoft Montreal and collaboration from Tencent. The closure reflects the challenging mobile gaming market and the difficulty of sustaining live-service titles, impacting the broader mobile gaming ecosystem and its advertising opportunities.
