everplay has issued a H1 update showing strong trading with a good reception for its new game releases, alongside continued robust performance from the back catalogue of titles. To accelerate growth, everplay has also acquired the rights and assets of a four-game franchise, Hammerwatch, and the publishing rights for a further two games for a combined maximum consideration of less than £8.0m. In our view, the acquisition of IP, rather than full development studios, is a cost effective way of stre...
In this audio note, Zeus’ Bob Laio summarises the investment case for the UK video game sector. Our analysis indicates that we will see an inflection in the video game market, where demand growth exceeds supply growth for the first time in five years in 2025.
The video games market moved from excess demand, driven by Covid lockdowns, to excess supply, as game makers expanded production capacity only to see demand normalise post lockdowns. Consequently, the sector experienced sharp declines in profit and game makers reduced development budgets, cancelled game releases and wrote-down investments in work-in-process. These cutbacks have reduced game supply in their years of announcement but also in future years. As a result, we estimate game supply growt...

Team17’s FY22 results were in line with recently upgraded expectations in January. With Debbie Bestwick’s decision to retire from Group CEO, and with 65% of revenues 2H weighted, the shares could trade range bound near term. However, the long term investment thesis remains intact – TM17 should be able to continue to beat expectations thanks to its superior lifecycle management and diverse portfolio, which is embedded across the group.
