Global gaming outfit DoubleU Games released its financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year of 2025 on the 12th.

In what marks a record-breaking performance, the company posted a quarterly revenue of 199.8 billion KRW, a 28.3% increase year-on-year and a 7.3% jump from the previous quarter. Operating profit climbed to 63.9 billion KRW, up 5.0% compared to the same period last year.

On an annual basis, consolidated revenue hit 719.9 billion KRW, a 13.6% growth. This uptick was driven by a combination of factors: ▲growth in iGaming and Paxie Games, ▲the inclusion of WoW Games following its July acquisition, and steady growth in existing business lines. However, annual operating profit dipped by 6.7% to 232.1 billion KRW.

The social casino division brought in 157.3 billion KRW in the fourth quarter. Beyond the steady operation of key titles, the DTC revenue share swelled to 26.6%, accelerating a shift in their profit structure. By refining the web store UX/UI and increasing exposure to paying users, conversion rates have improved, solidifying a structure where both absolute revenue and proportional share are on the rise.

In the casual game sector, Paxie Games has seen tangible results from its AI-driven development model, the 'AI Lab.' By adopting an ultra-lean development structure and a rapid market validation process, they claim to have boosted both efficiency and polish. By the fourth quarter, revenue from AI-based new titles accounted for 49% of the casual segment—a figure now rivalling their traditional 'Merge' genre games, suggesting their AI monetization strategy is hitting its stride.

By the fourth quarter, revenue from new ventures—including iGaming and casual titles—had expanded to 21% of the total, signaling a clear diversification of their portfolio. DoubleU Games aims to anchor its mid-to-long-term stability and growth on this three-pronged structure: social casino, iGaming, and casual games.

A company representative noted, "Our fourth-quarter performance reflects a strengthened momentum, combining the stable revenue of social casino with DTC expansion, strategic M&A effects, and successful AI-driven casual releases. In 2026, we plan to keep pushing the pedal on social casino DTC, launch new iGaming brands, and roll out 40 to 50 new casual games annually to broaden the profit contribution across all three core pillars."
