The rivals’ move could provide some extra money for the French company.

Ubisoft‘s CFO, Alain Martinez believes that Rockstar’s decision to delay Red Dead Redemption 2 to 2018 could be showing a positive effect on Ubisoft’s current fiscal year, but it’s too early to see how much of an effect it would have.

Ubisoft also revealed their financial results for the first quarter of their fiscal year: the sales have grown by 45.2 percent year-on-year, and a whopping 80.4% of them accounted for digital sales, and that’s also a 5.1% increase. However, the back catalog sales’ increase from 91.1 to 94.3% could be somewhat worrying.

Their biggest game in this period is Ghost Recon Wildlands, and comparing the PlayStation 4/Xbox One/PC overall sales, the PS4 is still the best with its 44% (last year: 31%), followed by the Xbox One’s 22 (23%) and the PC’s 21 (26%) percent, respectively.

Yves Guillemot’s company is doing its best to avoid getting taken over by Vivendi.
