Nacon's sales rose 4.5% to €46.8 million in the second quarter of 2025-26 as games grew and accessories fell
The Paris-listed publisher said games sales rose 31.7% to €36.7 million, while accessories fell 42.7% to €9.0 million, which it tied to a 66% fall in sales on the American market linked to higher customs duties.
Nacon said on Oct 27, 2025 that its consolidated sales, the figures for the whole group, rose 4.5% to €46.8 million in the second quarter of its 2025-26 fiscal year, July to September. Games sales rose 31.7% to €36.7 million, an increase of €8.8 million on the same period a year earlier. The company said the growth came from its Catalogue activity, up 52.5% to €22.8 million, and from its Back Catalogue, games released in earlier fiscal years, up 7.8% to €14.0 million. Catalogue grew despite a high comparison base, the company added: the second quarter of 2024-25 had included the release of Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown.1,2,3,4,5,6,7
The company said the Catalogue result rested on strong sales of Rugby League 26, released in July, the return of Robocop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business, which had a user score of 85%, and the reception of Hell is Us, released in September. The company said Hell is Us had earned a user score of 88% and had over 1.5 million residual wishlists at the time, meaning purchase intentions not yet acted on, and counted the game among its biggest launches. Accessories sales fell 42.7% to €9.0 million, which the company tied to a 66% fall in sales on the American market linked to higher customs duties.8,9,10,11,12,13,14
The release described Nacon as publishing AA games and designing and distributing premium gaming peripherals. For the year from Apr 1, 2024 to Mar 31, 2025 it reported revenue of €167.9 million and operating income of €1.1 million. For the second half of its 2025-26 fiscal year, the company said activity would be driven mainly by new Catalogue releases, among them Dragonkin: The Banished, Styx: Blades of Greed, Edge of Memories and GreedFall II. It added that accessories could stay affected over that half-year by uncertainty in the American market, although signs of recovery were appearing. Nacon said it was confident it could generate strong growth in 2025-26, and the release confirmed the group's annual targets. Its next release, first-half results for 2025-26, was due after the market close in November.15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22
