It's no secret that Ubisoft has some absolute juggernauts this generation. Far Cry 5 smashed sales records for the franchise and was one of last year's best selling games, while Rainbow Six: Siege has been slowly gathering momentum for over three years. In a recent earnings call, the publisher has outlined how well both titles are doing.
According to Ubisoft, Far Cry 5 is not only the best selling Far Cry game, but also the publisher's best selling game this generation. In terms of pure units sold, nothing has topped it, which is quite the achievement. Unfortunately no figure was given, but it doesn't take much imagination to figure out it's been a massive success.
Meanwhile, and perhaps more impressive, is how much money Rainbow Six: Siege is making. When you combine unit sales, season passes, and in-game purchases, the ongoing tactical shooter has raked in a whopping $1.12 billion. With even more content in the pipeline, Ubisoft will want to keep this going as long as it can.
Have you enjoyed either of these Ubisoft titles on PS4? Lay siege to the comments section below.

How well did Assassins Creed Odyssey do?
That’s so sad that Far Cry 5 sold so much. No one thought it was THAT good.
@Jaz007 What you didn't like the Seed family and their cult of Peggies
I've enjoyed all the Far Cry's so far (2 not so much, but ok) I have recently bought New Dawn but will play after I've finished Days Gone. I must like the Far Cry formula
Really enjoying Far Cry 5 at the moment, glad it well.
Didn't bother with R6S, but FC5 was great. Haven't bought New Dawn yet as I've other things to play, but I will no doubt pick it up eventually.
Same as @chris730920, I've enjoyed all the Far Cry games, although 2 did feel like a chore and I left it alone for years... first trophy 8th January 2009, last trophy (completing the story) 25th January 2018! Yes, that's 9 years, 6 weeks, 2 days.
I completed FC5 recently and enjoyed it for what it was. My expectations were low and so was the price. But at times it did have a very budget game feel to it. Especially the random events happening far too, well, random. Cant believe it was one of the best selling games last year.
1.12 billion.
That's every person in Europe plus the USA giving Ubisoft a quid.
I also looked on PC rankings and Siege is the 9th most played game. The figures we are talking about here are crazy no surprise these big publishers are gorging at the games as a service trough.
didn't play either. the far cry formula wore very thin about a third way through FC4, and still haven't finished it. as for R6S, that style of multiplayer doesn't appeal to me. i'd maybe have picked it up if there was a campaign similar to the R6 Vegas games on PS3.
I buy every single Far Cry that releases and I thought Far Cry 5 was ace..in fact I bought the season Pass for it too,a thing I've never done with the franchise before.
Far Cry 3 and Primal will always be my faves though.
FC3 is still the best IMO. I replayed it when it came to PS4 and it still holds up.
Kind of sad because Far Cry 5 is horrible, but good for Ubisoft. Hopefully Far Cry 6 is better.
