NACON reported first‑quarter sales of €32.3 million for the 2024/25 financial year, a 9.0 % decline from €35.5 million in the same period of 2023/24 after adjusting for a partial disposal of Gollum. Gaming revenue fell sharply to €17.8 million, with new‑game catalogue sales dropping 69.4 % to €3.8 million due to a high base in the prior year, while back‑catalogue sales rose 17.9 % to €14.0 million, buoyed by titles such as Robocop: Rogue City and Taxi Life. Accessories sales increased 27.5 % to €13.3 million, driven by strong demand for RIG 600 PRO headsets and REVOLUTION 5 PRO controllers in the United States and Australia. Other mobile and audio sales grew 93 % to €1.1 million. The company projects a rebound in gaming revenue in the second quarter, citing an aggressive release schedule that includes Tiebreak: Official Game of the ATP and WTA, Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown, and Greedfall II. The accessories division is expected to remain robust, supported by new premium products under the REVOSIM brand and a growing console installed base. NACON’s capital increase in July 2024 has reinforced its financial position, enabling further investment in the gaming pipeline. The next sales update is slated for 28 October 2024. NACON operates globally with 23 subsidiaries and a distribution network covering 100 countries, employing over 1,000 staff across 16 development studios and a publishing arm that generated €20.9 million in operating income for 2023/24.

Accessories sales expanded 8.7 % to €15.7 million, with headsets and controllers maintaining momentum in the U.S. and Australia.
