11 bit studios’ first‑quarter 2023 financials show a revenue of PLN 14.8 million, EBITDA of PLN 3.0 million and net profit exceeding PLN 2.46 million, slightly below the same period in 2022 but still above internal forecasts. The decline is partly attributed to a high‑base effect from the previous year’s exceptional sales of This War of Mine during February–March 2022, when the company donated weekly proceeds to the Ukrainian Red Cross. The current quarter’s profit was also influenced by revenue from the board‑game version of Frostpunk and a revaluation gain on an equity stake in Starward Industries, which owns The Invincible.
Investment in development rose 28.2 % year‑on‑year to PLN 12.14 million, reflecting a strategy of increasing spend on both proprietary and third‑party titles as release dates approach. The publishing pipeline for 2023 includes The Invincible and The Thaumaturge, developed by Fool’s Theory, with promotional campaigns boosting their Steam wishlist rankings. The company anticipates that these releases will significantly lift 2023 financial results, supported by ongoing monetisation of established titles such as Frostpunk and This War of Mine.
Long‑term growth is expected to hinge on upcoming proprietary projects—Frostpunk 2, The Alters, and an unnamed “Project 8”—all slated for launch by the end of 2025. The company’s cash cushion and solid Q1 performance underpin its focus on expanding both its own development slate and publishing portfolio across the global video‑game market.
