Ubisoft has claimed porting its games to Stadia won’t break its bank for now during an earnings call, that also posted dwindling sales despite The Division 2 being reportedly one of the best-selling games of 2019 so far.
Head honcho and Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemont told investors that the extra R&D cash required to successfully port an existing game to Google’s cloud gaming service is “not that high.” However, he admitted that those costs might go up in the future.
“The extra cost to port, to make sure the games work well on Stadia is not that high. It’s part now of our pipelines and we have a good relationship with Stadia to make sure it is profitable for us,” he said. “Now we are not speaking about 2.0 types of games that will need more work and this we will see more in the future action.”
