PARIS, FRANCE - October 15, 2025 - PULLUP Entertainment (FR0012419307 - ALPUL) is reporting its revenue for the first half of FY 2025/26 (unaudited), ended September 30, 2025.
Geoffroy Sardin added: "We continue to roll out our strategy with discipline and efficiency. The record level of our back catalogue illustrates the progress made in the last few years to further develop our model's recurrence. This is built around the expertise of our teams, who are able to grow the value of our games several years after their release, and the success of our Live operations with SnowRunner, RoadCraft, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and Train Sim World.
In addition to the visibility offered by the back catalogue, our model is also based on the many high-quality games we release. Following Abyssus, Drop Duchy, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, RoadCraft and Train Sim World 6, all launched during the first half of this year, our new releases for the second part of the year will include Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, Gallipoli WW1 Game Series, Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Memories in Orbit and John Carpenter's Toxic Commando. Absolum, released on October 9, has had a very good start, with a Metacritic score of 87 and 91% positive player reviews on Steam. This title, whose brand is owned by PULLUP Entertainment and which was co-developed by Dotemu, was one of the top 10 best sellers on Steam during its first days of release.
While the market remains very competitive, we continue to offer players highly targeted and differentiating experiences, with uncompromising gameplays. We therefore confirm our financial targets for 2025/26 and the coming years".
Revenue for the first half of 2025/26 came to €132.6 million, down 43% versus the first half of 2024/25, which benefited from the exceptional release of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Second-quarter revenue totaled €53.3 million, down 73% from the previous year.
New Releases generated €35.1 million of revenue during the first half of 2025/26, driven by the releases of Abyssus, Drop Duchy, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound and Roadcraft, which were met with excellent reception from players. Train Sim World 6 was released on the last day of the semester.
Back Catalogue revenue for the first half of 2025/26 is up 44.4% from the first half of 2024/25 to €93.7 million, a record level for the Group, highlighting the progress made to develop the recurrence of the business. This progress reflects the quality of PULLUP Entertainment's titles, the expertise of its teams to grow the value of its portfolio several years after the games' releases, and the ramp up of Live operations with a range of experiences that keeps communities of gamers engaged in the long term.
