Remedy Q3 Revenue Triples on Control Resonant Launch
Remedy Entertainment reported a 226% surge in Q3 revenue to €39.6 million, driven by the launch of Control Resonant on September 24, 2026. The game's physical release on October 15 sold over one million units, making it the company's fastest-selling title. Operating profit turned positive at €0.6 million, compared to a €16.4 million loss a year earlier. Game sales and royalties contributed €35 million, with development fees from Max Payne 1 & 2 remake and Annapurna deal totaling €4.3 million. Nearly half of Resonant players were new to the franchise, and outstanding wishlists reached 2.4 million. Remedy also noted that the 2019 Control title benefited, with sales exceeding previous periods. CEO Jean-Charles Gaudechon called the launch a defining milestone, emphasizing future growth through targeted marketing and sequestration plans.
Remedy's strong Q3 earnings highlight commercial success of a game title, but the news is primarily relevant to gaming industry financials, not directly to AdTech, MarTech, or advertising technology.

Beholder: Conductor matches launch sales 15 months post-release
Alawar's marketing team details how Beholder: Conductor, a spinoff in the Beholder series, achieved a second launch-scale sales spike 15 months after release. By aligning a Steam Daily Deal (70% discount) with the Steam Train Fest and a creator campaign via Jestr, the game sold 81,088 copies in 14 days, nearly matching its launch sales. The campaign generated $274,498 gross and $165,000 net revenue. The marketing mix attracted new wishlists, with 64.5% of purchases during the campaign coming from wishlists added in 2026, indicating the spike was not just converting old wishlists. The promotion also lifted sales across the entire Beholder series, with 58,216 copies sold for other games and 37,684 bundle units moved. Alawar attributes the success to the synergy of multiple simultaneous promotions, demonstrating the value of post-launch marketing for older titles.
