The Callisto Protocol Massively Underperformed
The game is also reportedly having trouble recuperating development costs.

The information shared here has only been seen in this one report and, even without any sort of translation issues, may still be inaccurate. The information coming out of Korea was also shared by MP1ST.

That is to say, some of Ubisoft's latest releases didn't perform all that well and the company isn't doing as well as they had expected.

Want Final Fantasy 16? Just Buy a PlayStation 5
Producer Naoki Yoshida seems to suggest a PC release isn't happening at all.
When Square Enix first revealed Final Fantasy XVI it wasn't really clear if the game would be released later on PC. Most of us kind of assumed it would be since, you know, every other Final Fantasy has come to PC eventually. The initial trailer reveal, still up on YouTube courtesy of IGN, even says "also available on PC" in fine print at the bottom in the final seconds of the trailer.

by Shawn ZipayMake up your own definition of "complete."
Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?
For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements?
