Starbreeze AB Corporate Events
Starbreeze AB has launched a new game mode called ‘Smash & Grab’ for PAYDAY 3, offering a fast-paced heisting experience designed for both new and veteran players. This update, developed in response to community feedback, aims to simplify gameplay while maintaining the series’ signature intensity, and it includes a new weapon, the Spearfish 1895 rifle, enhancing the game’s arsenal.
Starbreeze AB has announced a change in its share structure, converting 735 series A-shares into series B-shares and issuing 147,676,204 new series B-shares. This move aims to eventually have only series B-shares issued, reducing the total number of votes but not affecting ownership in terms of capital. The total number of registered shares now stands at 1,624,438,244, with a total of 2,757,125,926 votes.
Starbreeze AB, in collaboration with RyseUp Studios, has announced the release of their popular FPS roguelite game, Roboquest, on PlayStation 5 and 4. This release leverages PlayStation’s advanced features to enhance gameplay, offering players an exciting and dynamic experience with high-resolution graphics and adaptive controls. The game invites players into a future world where they must combat rogue AI, featuring diverse environments, customizable builds, and a variety of weapons. This launch is a significant milestone for the developers, marking a decade of development and community support, and is expected to strengthen Starbreeze’s position in the gaming market.
Starbreeze Entertainment has launched a new paid heist, Party Powder, for PAYDAY 3, alongside a free Armor 2.0 feature. This update enhances the game’s strategic depth and replayability, offering players new challenges and customization options, thereby expanding the PAYDAY 3 universe and potentially strengthening its position in the gaming industry.
Starbreeze Entertainment, in collaboration with The Gang, has launched ‘Out of Sight,’ a narrative adventure game available on multiple platforms including PC, consoles, and VR. The game, which originated as a student project, offers a unique second-person perspective where players guide a blind girl, Sophie, through a haunted mansion using sound and instinct. This innovative approach highlights the company’s commitment to unconventional storytelling and emotional engagement, potentially strengthening its position in the gaming industry.
At the Annual General Meeting held on May 15, 2025, Starbreeze AB announced several key resolutions, including the adoption of the income statement and balance sheet for 2024, and the decision not to distribute dividends for the financial year. The AGM also saw the re-election of Jürgen Goeldner as Chairman of the Board and the election of new board members, along with the reappointment of Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers AB as the company’s auditor. These decisions reflect the company’s strategic focus on strengthening its board and financial oversight, while also indicating a cautious approach to financial distribution, possibly to reinvest in future growth opportunities.
Starbreeze AB’s nomination committee received an alternative board proposal from major shareholder Digital Bros. SpA, which holds a significant portion of the company’s capital and voting rights. The proposal suggests a board of four members, including a new candidate, Cecilia Tosting, who brings extensive industry experience from her previous roles at Activision Blizzard Nordics AB and the Walt Disney Company. This change in board composition could influence Starbreeze’s strategic direction and operations, potentially impacting its market positioning and stakeholder interests.
Starbreeze AB reported its Q1 2025 financial results, highlighting an increase in net sales to SEK 67.7 million, driven by strong performance from PAYDAY 3. Despite this, the company faced a loss before taxes of SEK 29.4 million and a decrease in cash flow from operating activities. Significant events include the announcement of PAYDAY 3 as a PlayStation Plus game, a new partnership with The Gang studio, and the appointment of Adolf Kristjansson as CEO. These developments indicate strategic moves to strengthen its market position and expand its game offerings.
Starbreeze AB has announced that it will release its First Quarter 2025 report on May 13, followed by a webcast presentation for investors. The presentation will be led by CEO Adolf Kristjansson and CFO Mats Juhl, providing an opportunity for stakeholders to engage and ask questions, potentially impacting investor relations and market perception.
Starbreeze AB has acquired the publishing rights for PAYDAY 3 from PLAION, allowing it to accelerate content development and explore broader strategic opportunities for the PAYDAY franchise. To finance this acquisition, Starbreeze is issuing new shares, which will result in a dilution of existing shares but is expected to strengthen its strategic alignment with major industry players.
