Strong growth in Gaming activity in Q2 2025-26
“Gaming” sales for the second quarter (July 1 – September 30) grew by €8.8 million (i.e., +31.7% to €36.7 million) compared to the same period last year. This is due to a very strong growth in “Catalogue” activity and good momentum in “Back Catalogue”.
“Catalogue” activity increased by 52.5% to €22.8 million despite a high comparative base, as the 2nd quarter 2024-25 had seen the release of Test DriveUnlimited: Solar Crown TM.
This performance is based on:

strong sales of Rugby League TM 26, released on July 17,the return of Robocop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business TM with a User Score of 85%,the excellent reception of Hell is Us TM, released on September 4, 2025. This game, which is already among NACON’s biggest launches, achieved a User Score of 88% and currently has over 1.5 million residual wish lists*.
The “Back Catalogue” (games released in previous fiscal years) recorded revenue up 7.8% to €14.0 million, showing the strength of the existing portfolio.
The “Accessories” segment decreased by 42.7% to €9.0 million due to a 66% decline in sales on the American market linked to increased customs duties.

Confirmation of targets for the 2025-26 fiscal year
Second-half activity will be primarily driven by the “Catalogue” editorial releases and will see the release of nearly a dozen titles: Dragonkin : The Banished TM, Styx : Blades of Greed TM, Edge of Memories TM, Greed Fall IITM, Cricket 26 TM, Rennsport TM, Endurance Motorsport Series TM, Gear-Club Unlimited 3 TM.
The “Back Catalogue” is expected to maintain a good level of activity.
Over the half-year, the “Accessories” segment could remain impacted by uncertainties in the American market, although signs of recovery are emerging. Europe is expected to continue to benefit from sales of accessories for the Switch TM 2 and the XBOX Revolution X Unlimited controller.

With its strong positions in two complementary business areas, a busy release schedule in the fiscal year and new products in the Accessories segment, NACON is confident in its ability to generate strong growth for the 2025-26 fiscal year.
