Current Report 20/2025: Establishment of the release date for the game "Death Howl"

Current Report 21/2025

The Management Board of 11 bit studios S.A. has finalized a licensing agreement with Microsoft Corporation to integrate several titles into the Game Pass subscription service. This strategic partnership covers the upcoming release Death Howl as well as two existing titles currently managed by the company’s publishing division. The arrangement ensures that Death Howl will be accessible to Game Pass PC subscribers starting December 9, 2025, with a subsequent rollout for Game Pass Xbox users coinciding with the game’s official console launch. This disclosure follows regulatory requirements regarding confidential information and market transparency, prompted by Microsoft’s public communication schedule. By securing these licensing rights, the Warsaw-based developer and publisher expands its reach across the global Microsoft ecosystem, targeting both PC and console demographics. The timing of the announcement reflects a coordinated effort to align corporate disclosures with consumer-facing marketing updates from the platform holder. Financially, the agreement is structured to influence the company’s performance metrics beyond the current fiscal year. While the integration of these titles begins in late 2025, the primary impact on financial results is projected for 2026. This suggests a revenue recognition model or payment structure tied to the long-term availability of the titles within the subscription catalog. The scope of the deal reinforces the company's ongoing strategy of leveraging subscription platforms to maximize the lifecycle and audience penetration of its internal and published portfolio.
