The latest update is out from Playside Studios Ltd ( (AU:PLY) ).
PlaySide Studios has reported strong ongoing performance from its title MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, which has sold about 730,000 units across platforms and generated estimated gross platform sales of US$21.4 million since launch. Console versions now account for roughly half of all units sold, while growing wishlists to 3 million and very high review scores on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox underline the game’s sustained visibility and player appeal.
The robust sales trajectory and the recoupment of all milestone, publishing and marketing costs for MOUSE: P.I. For Hire have prompted PlaySide to upgrade its FY26 revenue guidance to A$50 million–A$53 million, up from prior expectations that revenue would merely exceed FY25’s A$48.7 million. Management says the uplift is driven by stronger-than-expected unit sales and wishlist conversion across PC and console despite a delayed launch and the lack of major external project wins, reinforcing the game’s importance to near-term cash flow and the company’s broader publishing pipeline, which includes Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, the Dumb Ways franchise and Dew.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:PLY) stock is a Buy with a A$0.60 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Playside Studios Ltd stock, see the AU:PLY Stock Forecast page.
