In its Q1 2025 earnings report, Starbreeze AB reported net sales of SEK 67.7 million, an increase from SEK 56.6 million in the same period last year, driven primarily by the PAYDAY franchise. The company also highlighted strategic partnerships and leadership changes.

Key financial metrics revealed that PAYDAY 3 contributed SEK 33.0 million to net sales, while PAYDAY 2 added SEK 12.4 million. However, the company faced a decline in third-party publishing revenue and reported a loss before taxes of SEK 29.4 million. Cash flow from operating activities was negative at SEK -11.7 million, and cash and cash equivalents stood at SEK 130.1 million by the end of the quarter.

Strategically, Starbreeze announced the reacquisition of full rights for PAYDAY from Embracer Group-owned PLAION, aiming to enhance profitability and market agility. The company also appointed Adolf Kristjansson as the new CEO, emphasizing a focus on innovation and sustainable growth.

Looking ahead, Starbreeze is committed to expanding its PAYDAY franchise and exploring new opportunities with its Dungeons & Dragons project, while continuing to strengthen its brand presence through strategic partnerships.
