PlaySimple Games Files Draft Papers for Rs 3,150 Crore IPO via Offer-for-Sale

Sweden-based Modern Times Group's Indian subsidiary, PlaySimple Games, has filed draft papers with SEBI for an initial public offering (IPO) aiming to raise up to Rs 3,150 crore through an offer-for-sale by promoter MTGx Gaming Holding AB, with no fresh shares issued. PlaySimple, a leading casual mobile games publisher with over 30 live titles and nearly 5 million daily users globally, reported a 20.4% revenue increase to Rs 2,259.8 crore in FY25 but a 31.1% profit decline. MTG intends to retain majority ownership post-IPO, with the final issue size and timing to be decided later.
