The first half of 2025 has been an exciting one for Playstack.

We’ve seen momentum continue at pace, with revenue up 52% year-on-year to £30.7m and our games reaching even more players worldwide.

Balatro and Abiotic Factor remain stand-out successes, with more than 3m units sold in the first half alone.

July saw the full launch of Abiotic Factor on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X, while the announcement of Mortal Shell 2 at Summer Games Fest set new records for wishlists on Steam.

Awards have also flowed in, from Ukie’s Indie Publisher of the Year to BAFTA’s Best Debut Game for Balatro, alongside recognition at the Develop:Star Awards, Pocket Gamer Top 50 UK Game Makers and beyond.

As Harvey Elliott, our founder and CEO, put it:

2025 has seen our momentum continue, as we work to the plan we’ve had from the beginning. Playstack has demonstrated time and time again our ability to spot, support and publish stunning indie games.

With more launches still to come this year, including the much-anticipated UNBEATABLE in November, we’re looking forward to building on this success and continuing to champion brilliant indie talent!!
