Krafton reported “record strong combined” results in its third-quarter 2025 financial report, citing “record strong combined results” due to “stronger intellectual property competitiveness in India and its countries.” “The company's transition to AI-first”.
Revenue rose 21% year-on-year to 870.6 billion won ($604.2 million), while operating profit also rose 7.5% to 348.8 billion won ($241.9 million) over the same period. The company's year-to-date operating profit exceeded 1 trillion won for the first time.
The company said it is seeing “solid performance across all segments of its business, including PC, mobile, console and others.”[ing] new quarterly revenue records with year-over-year growth reaching 29%, driven by the continued popularity of PUBG: Battlegrounds.”
“This momentum was driven by a steady cycle of hype and engagement driven by high-profile collaborations with global K-pop sensations Aespa and G-DRAGON, as well as French luxury car maker Bugatti,” it added.
Likewise, the company has seen “growth momentum” in mobile, which it attributes to “diversified content such as a Transformers-themed mode and progressive X-Suit skins” as well as “robust performance of live services.” Battlegrounds Mobile India also posted a new quarterly revenue record, which Crafton said was driven by “local strategies to enhance the user experience, including India-exclusive skins and service expansion.”
Looking to the future, Krafton intends to further accelerate growth through its PUBG IP and says it will “continue to offer cultural experiences beyond games by continuing IP collaborations and sharing content across IP franchises to create synergies between games.” The company is also working on developing PUBG into PUBG 2.0 by expanding its modes, custom content and updating it to Unreal Engine 5.
Krafton is also set to take over the direct publishing of Real Cricket 24 after acquiring a majority stake in Nautilus Mobile in March.
Last week, Subnautica 2 and PUBG publisher Krafton announced that it was positioning itself as an “AI-focused company.” The publisher said it will “prioritize artificial intelligence as a central and core enabler of problem solving” and “drive change in individuals and organizations, improve company-wide productivity and accelerate corporate value growth in the medium to long term.”
