PlayWay S.A. released post-launch sales performance data for two of its major simulation titles, Car Mechanic Simulator and Cooking Simulator, highlighting significant commercial success and rapid cost recovery. During the month of June 2019, the console versions of Car Mechanic Simulator for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 achieved over 43,000 digital downloads.

These expenses were fully recouped through pre-orders alone, ensuring the title reached profitability prior to its official release date.

Raport Bieżący Nr 39/2019: Post-Premier Sales – Car Mechanic Simulator (Console)

PlayWay S.A. released initial performance metrics for the console adaptation of Car Mechanic Simulator following its first 72 hours on the market in June 2019. The data indicates a strong commercial reception for the Xbox One version, which recorded over 23,000 digital downloads and generated estimated gross revenue exceeding 650,000 USD within the three-day launch window. While specific sales figures for the PlayStation 4 version were unavailable at the time of the announcement, market trends suggested a potentially larger reach on that platform due to its higher hardware install base. The physical retail segment, managed by Koch Media GMBH, showed early signs of high demand with over 1,500 activations recorded shortly after launch. An initial production run of 70,000 physical units was split between platforms, with 35% allocated to Xbox One. Management determined within two days of release that this initial supply was insufficient to meet market interest, prompting plans for additional production runs. PlayWay maintains exclusive digital publishing rights for the base game and all subsequent downloadable content. Future strategy for the title involves long-term marketing support modeled after the successful PC version, alongside the release of localized language patches and a steady stream of DLC. The commercial success of this launch has influenced broader corporate strategy, leading the company to accelerate development schedules for other major console ports. This shift aims to strengthen the internal publishing portfolio and capitalize on the proven profitability of bringing established PC intellectual properties to the console market.
