Ubisoft's latest earnings report contains some information about their sales across this console generation, including the franchises and games that have done particularly well. Ubisoft has announced that 11 games across 6 franchises have sold over 10 million units after releasing on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

- Assassin's Creed Origins
- Assassin's Creed Odyssey
- The Division
- The Division 2
- Far Cry 4
- Far Cry 5
