The launch of Jedi: Fallen Order is one of the most successful in the history of Star Wars games
Respawn Entertainment can open champagne. Electronic Arts (EA) said that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order showed one of the best sales starts among all the games based on “Star Wars“.
The game broke two records:
- It became the fastest selling digital game in the Star Wars universe following the results of the first two weeks of sales;
- It became the best-selling game in the Star Wars universe on PC at the start of sales.
Most likely, the game would not have been able to achieve such results without Steam. Recall that EA signed a contract with Valve before the release. According to its terms, EA has started selling its titles on Steam again.
The first EA release on the Valve platform was just Jedi: Fallen Order. On the part of Steam, he received a very aggressive and lengthy feature on the main page.
EA planned that sales of Jedi: Fallen Order would amount to 6 to 8 million copies for its current fiscal year (for comparison, sales of Star Wars Battlefront amounted to 13-14 million copies over the same period). Taking into account the latest news, the sales of the game are at least as expected.
By the way, Respawn Entertainment recently reported that the second part of the game has already been given the green light.
