Ubisoft hasn’t released a major game in a few months, but that didn’t stop the publisher from having a strong sales quarter. For the first quarter of the fiscal year 2017-2018, the company hit sales of $234 million, higher than its projected $196.8 million.

Ubisoft managed this thanks to back catalog and digital sales. Digital revenue, which includes downloadable content and microtransactions, brought in $188 million. It represented 80.4 percent of Ubisoft’s sales, compared to 75.3 percent in the same period last year. Back catalog sales brought in $220.45 million.
