Ubisoft Q1: Mobile Net Bookings Share Nearly Doubles
Ubisoft reported that mobile's share of its net bookings rose from 10% to 19% in Q1 of its new fiscal year, the largest platform growth. Consoles fell from 50% to 46%, PC rose slightly to 27%, and the 'other' category declined to 8%. The company generated €255.8 million ($291m) in Q1 net bookings, down 9% year‑on‑year but slightly above guidance, driven by a record quarter from the mobile game Invincible: Guarding the Globe. Digital sales fell to 81% of net bookings from 89% a year earlier. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot highlighted the game's contribution and reiterated disciplined execution and investment ahead of a stronger content cycle.
Company-level Q1 net bookings showing a strong mobile performance driven by a live-service mobile title; relevant to mobile monetisation and gaming revenue trends but not industry‑shifting.

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.
Take-Two: Mobile Share Narrows but Remains Majority
Take-Two reported fiscal Q1 net bookings of $1.39 billion for the three months to June 30, down 3% year-on-year but above guidance. Mobile remained the largest platform, contributing $739.5 million (53% of net bookings), down from 56% a year earlier, while console grew to 38% (from 33%). Mobile recurrent consumer spending fell 7% for the quarter; Toon Blast and Words With Friends grew 8% year-on-year and Top Eleven rose 15%. Take-Two posted a GAAP net loss of $34.1 million, partly due to a $43 million impairment after cancelling an unannounced third-party title. The company reiterated fiscal 2027 net bookings guidance of $8.0–$8.2 billion, anchored by Grand Theft Auto VI’s planned November 19 launch and strong preorder activity.
Ubisoft Stock Drops 16% After Profit Warning
On May 21, 2026, Ubisoft shares plunged about 16% after the game developer warned the upcoming financial year will produce further losses and represent a low point in free cash flow. The company published its full-year earnings the day before and reiterated a major two-year restructuring that management says will depress short-term financial results due to a softer release slate and restructuring costs. CEO and cofounder Yves Guillemot framed the actions as necessary to position Ubisoft for sustainable cash flow over time. The stock has declined significantly this year following prior setbacks, including a roughly 34% drop in January after the company cancelled multiple games.
