From Alexis Bontes’ CEO comment
“Our key franchises grew organically by 12 percent in the quarter, demonstrating the strength of the portfolio we are building around a select number of strategically important franchises. Our strategic focus remains on building scalable franchises supported by strong player communities.
During the quarter, we continued to build on the soft launch of Big Farm: Homestead in December, with the game moving into global launch in Q1 2026. This delivered strong growth and, together with the continued development of the broader BIG franchise, resulted in organic growth of 88 percent. This development illustrates Stillfront’s ability not only to launch new titles successfully, but also to scale and monetize new games within established franchise ecosystems.”
