Overview
- Krafton reported Wednesday that it logged 2.66 trillion won in sales and 972.5 billion won in operating profit for the first half of 2026, marking its strongest six‑month showing to date.
- The company said second‑quarter revenue rose 94.9% to 1.29 trillion won and operating profit rose 67% to 410.9 billion won, with PC revenue topping 500 billion won for the first time.
- Krafton credited the gains to Subnautica 2, which sold five million copies within 22 days of its May early‑access launch, and to a 25% year‑over‑year revenue increase from the PUBG franchise.
- Near the end of the quarter Krafton settled a dispute with Unknown Worlds’ former leaders and agreed to pay the disputed $250 million, a payment the company says resolves that legal issue.
- Krafton said it will present five new titles at Gamescom and expand PUBG into a broader content platform with upgraded creator tools, global IP collaborations and more user‑generated content to grow creator income and player engagement.
