The gaming industry is buzzing with Remedy's remarkable financial growth in 2025, as the company's revenue soars to an impressive €59.5 million. But the real shocker came in Q4, where their earnings spiked a whopping 46.3% to €17 million!
This surge in revenue is attributed to the success of two beloved titles: Alan Wake 2 and Control. The increased royalties and game sales from these fan favorites have significantly boosted Remedy's financial standing.
Here's a breakdown of the numbers:
Q4 2025:
- Revenue skyrocketed to €17 million, a 46.3% increase.
- Operating profit turned a corner, reaching €0.7 million compared to a loss of €1.4 million in 2024.
FY 2025:
- Total revenue climbed 17% to €59.5 million.
- However, an operating loss of €14.9 million was recorded, a significant shift from the €4.3 million profit in 2024.
But here's where it gets interesting. Remedy revealed that game sales and royalties from Alan Wake 2 and Control contributed almost half of their Q4 revenue. This is a testament to the enduring popularity of these franchises.
And this is the part most people miss: the success of Control: Resonant, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2019 hit Control, played a pivotal role. The game sold an additional million copies for the full year, thanks to its reveal at The Game Awards in December 2025. The positive buzz around the sequel has the gaming community excited for its upcoming release.
Remedy's interim CEO, Markus Mäki, praised the community's response to Resonant, citing excellent early reception and positive wishlist numbers. Meanwhile, Alan Wake 2's feature on PlayStation Plus in October also contributed to the Q4 success with platform-deal royalties.
As we look back at the full year, Remedy's revenue growth can be attributed to various factors. These include development fees for the Max Payne 1 & 2 remakes and Control: Resonant, royalties from Alan Wake 2, and sales revenue from FBC: Firebreak, including subscription agreements.
However, the story of FBC: Firebreak, Remedy's first self-published title, is a bit of a rollercoaster. Launched in June 2025, this three-player co-op spin-off from Control fell short of the company's expectations. The underperformance led to a profit warning and a non-cash impairment of €14.9 million, representing a significant portion of the game's development and publishing costs.
And now, a leadership change. After nine years at the helm, Tera Virtala stepped down as CEO last October. Interim CEO Markus Mäki has been steering the ship, and just yesterday, Remedy appointed Jean-Charles Gaudechon, former Electronic Arts VP, as the new CEO, starting March 1, 2026.
