  • Net revenue rose 53.7% year-on-year and operating profit jumped 90.8% in Q1 FY25, driven by strong catalog title performance.
  • Persistent PC optimization issues have led to thousands of “Overwhelmingly Negative” Steam reviews, hindering ongoing player engagement.

  • Planned endgame features set for a September update will now arrive in Version 1.021 in early August to reignite player interest.
