Current Report No. 33/2017: Planned Game Releases and Sales Potential

PlayWay S.A. outlines its strategic release schedule and market positioning for the mid-2017 period, focusing on the three-month window ending August 31, 2017. The primary objective is to communicate upcoming product launches and provide quantitative evidence of the company’s sales potential through Steam Wishlist metrics. The release pipeline includes nine distinct titles and expansions, most notably Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 along with its Mazda and Dodge downloadable content. Other key titles slated for release across PC and mobile platforms include Dracula Hotel, Farm Expert 2017, and Project Remedium. This schedule excludes potential console releases currently undergoing certification with Sony or Microsoft, suggesting the possibility of additional revenue streams depending on third-party approval timelines. The assessment of market demand relies heavily on Steam Wishlist data, which serves as a leading indicator for future sales performance. Hard West leads the portfolio with over 175,000 wishlist additions, followed by 911 Operator and Car Mechanic Simulator 2015, both of which maintain significant interest with over 112,000 additions each. Among unreleased titles, Agony demonstrates strong pre-launch momentum with 103,887 wishlist entries. Furthermore, the upcoming title UBOOT has surpassed 20,000 wishlist additions, a figure that notably exceeds the pre-launch interest levels previously recorded for 911 Operator. This data reflects a diversified publishing strategy targeting the global PC and mobile gaming markets. By leveraging established simulation franchises and monitoring community interest through digital storefront metrics, the management aims to validate the commercial viability of its upcoming catalog. The reliance on wishlist statistics underscores the industry-standard methodology of using digital engagement to forecast initial sales velocity and long-term tail performance for independent and mid-tier titles.

The post-release performance of the title Mr. Prepper, published by PlayWay S.A. through its subsidiary Rejected Games, demonstrates significant commercial success within the first 72 hours of its March 18, 2021, launch on the Steam platform. Total sales volume exceeded 61,000 units during this initial three-day window. The financial efficiency of the project is notable, as the combined production and marketing costs, which remained under 800,000 PLN, were fully recouped within the first 12 hours of availability. Market reception was bolstered by a substantial pre-launch interest, with an outstanding wishlist of 264,000 users on the day of release. By the time of the performance assessment, over 35,000 purchases and activations originated directly from these wishlists. Geographically, the United States emerged as the primary market, accounting for 23% of total sales volume. Germany followed as the second-largest market at 15%, while China, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom contributed 10%, 8%, and 5% respectively. The data reflects gross sales figures, subject to standard Steam refund policies. While specific refund rates for this title were not finalized, historical data for the publisher suggests a typical refund rate of approximately 8% by volume. Looking forward, the strategic plan involves expanding the game’s reach through ports to Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and mobile platforms, managed by various entities within the PlayWay Group. This expansion aims to leverage the initial momentum established by the PC release across a broader global gaming audience.

Raport Bieżący Nr 3/2019: Post-Premier Sales Update – House Flipper, CMS 18, Thief Simulator

PlayWay S.A. issued this regulatory update to clarify specific sales and marketing metrics regarding its primary software portfolio, specifically focusing on House Flipper, Car Mechanic Simulator 2018, and Thief Simulator. The primary objective is to refine the interpretation of Steam Wishlist data previously reported to investors, ensuring a precise distinction between cumulative interest and active pending demand. This clarification serves as a technical addendum to prior disclosures regarding the commercial performance and market reach of the company’s key intellectual properties. The data indicates a significant level of consumer engagement across the Steam platform as of December 31, 2018. While a previous figure suggested over 4 million players were associated with the company’s wishlists, this total represented a combination of historical additions for major titles and outstanding entries for the remainder of the catalog. To provide a more accurate representation of current market potential, the company specifies that the outstanding wishlist count—representing the total number of unique users still waiting to purchase games—exceeded 3.4 million players at the close of the 2018 calendar year. This disclosure focuses on the global PC gaming market via the Steam distribution platform, covering the performance of PlayWay’s most successful simulation titles. By distinguishing between total additions and outstanding wishlists, the management provides a clearer picture of the company’s conversion potential and the scale of its remaining audience. The report adheres to the regulatory requirements of the Market Abuse Regulation regarding the dissemination of inside information, reflecting the importance of wishlist metrics as a leading indicator of future revenue in the digital games industry.

PC & Console Year in Review 2025

Alinea Analytics provides a comprehensive review of the PC and console gaming market for 2025, offering data-driven insights into player behavior, revenue trends, and regional growth. The analysis highlights a year defined by the continued rise of indie and "Triple-I" titles, which accounted for over 25% of Steam’s revenue. Major success stories like RimWorld’s Odyssey DLC, which earned $10 million to date, and the rapid development of viral hits like RV There Yet? underscore a market where high return on investment is increasingly decoupled from massive studio sizes. Geographically, the report identifies China as a dominant force, ranking as the top market for Steam and the fifth for PlayStation. This surge is attributed to the momentum of titles like Black Myth: Wukong, with Chinese players making up a significant percentage of the audience for games such as Escape from Duckov and Monster Hunter Wilds. In Europe, the Swedish development scene saw a massive year, capturing significant market share through titles like R.E.P.O. and Split Fiction. Technical and genre trends show Unreal Engine maintaining its position as the industry standard for AA and AAA development, while Unity remains the backbone for indie successes. Co-op games emerged as a primary revenue driver, representing 11 of the top 20 highest-grossing titles. While adventure and RPGs remain popular, "cute" and "realistic" tags saw the highest year-over-year revenue growth. The data also notes a shift in marketing dynamics: while wishlist campaigns are now standard—requiring nearly 200,000 wishlists to break the top 200 most-anticipated list—conversion rates have declined, placing greater emphasis on post-launch player reception and "shadow drops" for viral success.

The Importance of Wishlists in 2025

**Executive Summary – “The Importance of Wishlists” (VGI Report, 2025)** --- ### 1. What the Data Shows | Metric | Key Figure | Insight | |--------|------------|---------| | **Games surpassing 100 k wishlists at launch** | ~9 % (141/1 500) | Only a small minority achieve the “break‑out” threshold. | | **Correlation (wishlists ↔ Month‑1 sales)** | **r ≈ 0.70** (RSQ ≈ 0.49) | Strong overall link, but it spikes to **r ≈ 0.71** for games with **> 100 k wishlists**. | | **Top‑heavy distribution** | 1–2 % of titles > 1 M wishlists; > 90 % < 10 k | Success is heavily skewed toward a few blockbuster titles. | | **Genre performance** | Action/Adventure & RPG/Strategy → highest medians (≈ 180‑190 k) | Casual & MMO titles lag (median ≈ 70‑80 k) and rely more on post‑launch tactics. | | **Wishlist momentum** | Games that hit **100 k+** before launch have a **71 %** chance of strong month‑1 sales vs. **17 %** for < 100 k. | Momentum is a “crystal ball” for launch success. | | **Steam page creation timing** | 40 % of top performers publish 0.5‑1 yr before launch; 35 % publish > 1 yr early. | Early page creation gives sustained visibility and higher wishlist growth. | | **Pre‑launch wishlist accumulation** | 85 % of wishlists are collected **≥ 4 months** before launch. | The bulk of audience commitment happens well before the final countdown. | --- ### 2. Why Wishlists Matter 1. **Predictive Power** – Once a title crosses the 100 k‑wishlist threshold, its first‑month sales become far more predictable (≈ 71 % correlation). 2. **Marketing Leverage** – High wishlist counts signal strong community interest, making it easier to secure press coverage, influencer partnerships, and paid‑media spend. 3. **Resource Allocation** – Studios can prioritize titles with early wishlist momentum for larger launch budgets and store‑front promotion. 4. **Risk Management** – Low‑wishlist titles (≤ 10 k) have a 50 % chance of under‑performing, suggesting a need for contingency plans (e.g., extended beta, community events). --- ### 3. How Games Accumulate Wishlists | Tactic | Effectiveness (based on VGI data) | |--------|-----------------------------------| | **Early Steam page (≥ 6 months pre‑launch)** | +30 % average wishlist growth vs. late‑launch pages | | **Regular content drops (trailers, dev logs, screenshots)** | Each major trailer ≈ 10‑15 % spike in wishlist count (case: *Kingdom Come Deliverance 2* added ~0.2 M per trailer) | | **Early Access / Demo releases** | Boosts momentum for “core” genres; median increase ≈ 12 % | | **Community engagement (Discord, Reddit AMAs)** | Stronger post‑launch
