PlayWay S.A. discontinued its practice of issuing monthly regulatory reports on game release dates as of June 2018.
The company shifted its release schedule communication to a dynamic format hosted exclusively on the investor relations section of its corporate website.
The decision to end monthly reporting was driven by the decentralized nature of the PlayWay Group, where many titles are published independently or through third-party partners.
Management cited the inherent volatility of development timelines and the complexity of its organizational structure as reasons why static, six-month forecasts became operationally impractical.
PlayWay S.A. implemented a selective disclosure policy to omit specific titles from public schedules if early release date announcements risk cannibalizing sales of existing products.
All future release schedules published by the company are classified as purely indicative and subject to ongoing adjustments based on market conditions and development progress.
The management board of PlayWay S.A. has formally decided to discontinue the practice of issuing monthly current reports regarding planned game release dates. This strategic shift, effective as of June 2018, marks a departure from the reporting framework established in early 2017. The decision is primarily driven by the increasing complexity of the company’s organizational structure and the decentralized nature of its production cycle. Because many titles within the PlayWay Group are published independently by developers on their own accounts or through third-party publishers, maintaining a centralized, six-month forecast of all major releases has become operationally impractical.
The inherent volatility of game development timelines further complicates the accuracy of monthly regulatory filings. Frequent shifts in release windows mean that static reports often fail to reflect the current status of the portfolio. To address these challenges, the company is transitioning its communication strategy toward a more dynamic digital format. Future release schedules will be hosted exclusively on the corporate website within the investor relations section. This move allows for more frequent updates while acknowledging that such schedules remain purely indicative and subject to ongoing adjustments based on development progress and market conditions.
Furthermore, the company has implemented a selective disclosure policy for its upcoming pipeline to protect commercial interests. Certain titles may be omitted from public schedules if the disclosure of a release date is deemed likely to cannibalize the sales of existing versions or titles currently on the market. This change in reporting methodology aligns with the legal requirements of the Market Abuse Regulation regarding the handling of inside information, ensuring that while investors retain access to a release roadmap, the company maintains the flexibility necessary to manage a large and diverse group of development studios.
