Krafton Annual Revenue and Operating Profit (FY2023–FY2025)
Krafton’s revenue growth accelerated across two consecutive years. FY2024 delivered 41.8% growth to KRW 2.7098 trillion, followed by another 22.8% jump to KRW 3.3266 trillion in FY2025. The company first crossed KRW 1 trillion in operating profit during FY2024 at KRW 1.1825 trillion, and held above that threshold in FY2025 at KRW 1.0544 trillion despite increased spending on new IP development and studio acquisitions.
| Metric | FY2023 | FY2024 | FY2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual Revenue | ~KRW 1.909T | KRW 2.710T | KRW 3.327T |
| Operating Profit | ~KRW 0.768T | KRW 1.183T | KRW 1.054T |

The 10.8% decline in operating profit from FY2024 to FY2025 came as Krafton ramped up investment. The $96 million acquisition of Eleventh Hour Games in July 2025 and the consolidation of ADK Group and Neptune into its financials both contributed to higher operating costs. The 963% surge in “other revenue” (from KRW 33.7 billion to KRW 358.5 billion) reflects these structural additions rather than organic growth from existing business lines.
Krafton Revenue by Segment (FY2025)
Mobile remained Krafton’s largest segment at KRW 1.7407 trillion, accounting for 52.3% of FY2025 total revenue. PC followed at KRW 1.1846 trillion (35.6%), while console stayed comparatively small at KRW 42.8 billion. The “other” category ballooned to KRW 358.5 billion after the Neptune and ADK Group consolidation. These four segments sum to the full KRW 3.3266 trillion, as confirmed in Krafton’s earnings filings. Mobile gaming’s dominance in Krafton’s mix mirrors the broader gap between mobile and console gaming revenue across the industry.
| Segment | FY2025 Revenue | Share of Total |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile | KRW 1.741T | 52.3% |
| PC | KRW 1.185T | 35.6% |
| Other | KRW 358.5B | 10.8% |
| Console | KRW 42.8B | 1.3% |

PUBG Franchise Performance Data
PUBG: Battlegrounds on PC recorded an 890,000 peak concurrent user count in 2024 — a record for a game that launched in 2017 and went free-to-play years later. PC revenue grew another 16% in FY2025 to reach its highest-ever annual total. Across all variants combined, PUBG has been downloaded 1.75 billion times. For context on how in-game spending habits fuel titles like PUBG Mobile, the franchise’s monetization model has been one of its strongest financial engines.
BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) saw paying users grow 27% year on year in FY2025, outpacing PUBG Mobile’s 5% growth globally. Krafton attributed this to India-specific content, local brand deals, and national esports events like BGIS and BMPS. The company has invested over $170 million in Indian gaming and tech startups since 2021. India’s mobile-first gaming audience — with 488 million online gamers recorded in 2024 — makes it a priority market for Krafton.

Krafton Quarterly Revenue Trends (2025)
Krafton’s quarterly performance showed steady growth through 2025. Q3 2025 brought in KRW 870.6 billion (+21% YoY), with cumulative Q1–Q3 revenue reaching KRW 2.4069 trillion. That nine-month operating profit of KRW 1.0519 trillion was itself a first — never before had Krafton exceeded KRW 1 trillion in operating profit through just three quarters. Q4 2025 revenue then hit KRW 919.7 billion, roughly 49% above Q4 2024’s KRW 617.6 billion.
| Quarter | Revenue | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|
| Q4 2024 | KRW 617.6B | +15.5% |
| Q3 2025 | KRW 870.6B | +21% |
| Q4 2025 | KRW 919.7B | ~+49% |

Mobile represented 56.1% of Q3 2025 revenue at KRW 488.5 billion, consistent with the full-year 52.3% share. PC brought in KRW 353.9 billion that quarter. Console remained a small contributor at KRW 10.2 billion. The quarterly data confirms that Krafton’s revenue split has stayed structurally stable throughout the year, with mobile maintaining a slight majority in every reported period.
Krafton Acquisitions and New Titles (2024–2026)
Krafton expanded aggressively through acquisitions and new launches. In August 2024, Krafton purchased Tango Gameworks from Microsoft Gaming, acquiring the Hi-Fi Rush IP in the process. The gaming industry’s broader revenue trends help explain why publishers like Krafton are spending heavily on IP acquisition and studio expansion.
Two new titles each crossed 1 million units sold in 2025: inZOI (launched March 2025) and MIMESIS from ReLU Games (launched October 2025). The $96 million Eleventh Hour Games deal in July 2025 brought Last Epoch into Krafton’s portfolio. Krafton also formed a joint venture with Hanwha Aerospace for physical AI technologies, backed by a $1 billion fund, and launched a $30 million Blue Ocean Games VC fund aimed at supporting roughly 100 indie developers. Krafton’s esports ambitions through BGIS and BMPS in India also tie into its broader expansion strategy.
| Development | Detail | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Tango Gameworks Acquisition | Purchased from Microsoft; includes Hi-Fi Rush IP | Aug 2024 |
| Eleventh Hour Games Acquisition | $96 million (Last Epoch developer) | Jul 2025 |
| inZOI Launch | 1M+ units sold | Mar 2025 |
| MIMESIS Launch | 1M+ units sold | Oct 2025 |
| Hanwha Aerospace JV | Physical AI; $1B fund | 2026 |
| Blue Ocean Games VC Fund | $30M for ~100 indie devs | Apr 2025 |

A less positive corporate development: in March 2026, a Delaware court reinstated Ted Gill as CEO of Unknown Worlds (a Krafton subsidiary) and found that Krafton’s CEO had “secretly devised a plan” to avoid paying a $250 million earnout. That ruling is the most significant governance dispute in Krafton’s public history. Subnautica 2 from Unknown Worlds remains on track for early access in 2026.
Krafton’s KRW 7 Trillion Revenue Target
Krafton stated during its FY2024 earnings briefing that it aims to reach KRW 7 trillion in annual revenue within five years. Starting from the FY2025 base of KRW 3.3266 trillion, hitting that target would require roughly 21% compound annual growth. The company cited the PUBG IP’s 20% average annual revenue growth over five years (2019–2024) as its basis for this projection. With 19 studios globally and new IPs like inZOI and Subnautica 2 in the pipeline, Krafton is betting that a mix of franchise growth and M&A will sustain that pace. The gaming industry’s own growth trajectory — projected at roughly 3% annually — means Krafton would need to vastly outpace the market to reach its goal.
