Indie hits Balatro and Abiotic Factor sold a combined three million copies in the first half of 2025. 

That's according to TruFin, the parent company of publisher PlayStack, which said that this performance highlights the firm's "ability to continue to manage and grow the lifecycle of its hit projects." 

For the six months ending June 30th, PlayStack brought in £30.7 million ($41.4 million) in revenue, a 52 per cent increase year-on-year. This, TruFin says, is due to back catalogue showing strong performance, on top of one new title coming out during this timeframe. 

The company also reports that its return on investment for console projects is "well above" 500 per cent, dropping to 300 per cent when excluding Balatro. PlayStack has 12 titles set to come out in the next months and intends to have invested over £10 million ($13.5 million) by the end of the year. 

"At its core, Playstack is a games origination engine, with the ability to deliver exceptional risk-adjusted returns," TruFin CEO James van den Bergh told investors in the company's latest report. 
 
"But this engine is nothing without the people who power it, and the team at Playstack are once again outperforming—especially when one considers the challenging gaming backdrop in which they operate. When a company shines in a difficult environment, there should be great confidence in what it could achieve when the wind is behind it."
