After a surge in income and market valuation, Ultimate Games is moving from the NewConnect market to the Main Market on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

The Warsaw based video game producer and distributor only debuted on the NewConnect market a little over a year ago, 15th June 2018.

The value of their shares has increased by over 185 percent in the last year and the increase in market value is exceeded by the increase in their revenues.

In 2016 their revenue was only 112,600 PLN but in 2017 that had risen to 1,261,141 PLN  and again in 2018 the revenue made a massive jump to 4,536,000 PLN.

The increase of over 4.4 million PLN in revenue in only two years is part of the reason for investors flocking to the company.

Ultimate Games has a simple strategy of production and distribution of large amounts of low-budget and high margin games.

“We keep the budgets low, even for our largest productions, the most we spend is several hundred thousand PLN,” Mateusz Zawadzki, President of Ultimate Games told PAP Biznes.

He added: “I do not rule out that the next versions of these games will  be more expensive, this is due to the fact that developers pay expectations are growing.”
