Embracer Group has released its financial results for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, reporting declines in overall net sales across its PC/console and mobile gaming divisions.

• PC/console games: SEK 5 billion ($557 million), down 22%

The highlights

The drop in net sales in Q3 was attributed to lower foreign exchange rates, negative organic growth, and the divestment of Easybrain in its mobile segment.

Despite this decline, Embracer CEO Phil Rogers described the period’s profitability as a “clear improvement” over Q1 and Q2.

This was driven by its core IPs, including Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Dead Island, and Tomb Raider, which exceeded expectations in engagement and earnings.

Embracer recorded strong sales of Warhorse Studios’ Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 after its third expansion launched. The game has now surpassed five million copies in its first year of release.

Net sales from new releases in its PC and console segment were SEK 228 million ($25.4 million), up 25% year-on-year. SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide and Let’s Sing 2026 were the main contributors.

Revenue from back catalogue releases, including platform deals, was SEK 1.3 billion ($145.4 million), down 10% year-on-year. The top five revenue drivers were Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Killing Floor 3, MX vs ATV: Legends, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Looking at Embracer’s mobile segment, it attributed the 66% decline in net sales to lower user acquisition costs (UAC) and the divestment of Easybrain.

The firm noted a “steady performance” from DECA Games during its third quarter, while CrazyLabs experienced negative growth and lower UCA “despite the successful scaling and growth of a new game, Sled Surfers, in December.”

The top five mobile titles during Embracer’s third quarter were Glow: Fashion Idol, Party in My Dorm, Flop House, Coffee Mania, and Sled Surfers.

Looking ahead, CEO Phil Rogers said Embracer’s focus “remains on executing against a well-defined pipeline of major game releases over the next three years.”

“For the next financial year, we look forward to one long-awaited, major, in-house developed and in-house published title together with a range of important mid-sized titles. Execution discipline will be critical to converting this stronger pipeline into a clear profitability and cash generation inflection point in FY 2026/27.”
