PlayWay S.A. acquired a 61.51% majority stake in Warsaw-based studio Play2Chill Sp. z o.o. on June 13, 2019.
The acquisition was finalized through the purchase of 2,777 shares from three individual shareholders for a total consideration of 211,000 PLN.
PlayWay transferred the development of the title 'Motor Mechanic' to Play2Chill to leverage the studio's resources while retaining intellectual property control.
The decision to move 'Motor Mechanic' into full production was driven by high player interest metrics recorded on the Steam platform during the project's internal pre-production phase.
This transaction reflects a broader industry trend in the Polish gaming sector where established publishers acquire specialized teams to scale promising internal prototypes.
