Remedy Entertainment can celebrate 2020 being its most profitable year so far, despite releasing no new games.
Coming off the popularity of Control, with multiple post-launch expansions and an Ultimate Edition released, the company saw 2020 as a massive success, Gamesindustry.biz reports.
In 2020, the developer’s operating profile was €13.2 million, over double what was seen in 2019 when €6.5 million was made. Additionally, the company’s revenue rose 35% from the previous year, making €24.1 million in total.
November was the biggest month for Control so far, before it was later added into Xbox Game Pass in December, no doubt adding more success for the title. Last year also saw numerous discounts for the game, especially the Ultimate Edition, which was frequently on sale after its launch in August all the way up until its Xbox Series X launch earlier this month, which more than likely helped its sales.
Going forward, Control is going to play a big part in the developer’s vision for the future, as it sets up the Remedy Connected Universe. With a strong vision for the future, Remedy is clearly certain its IPs have the ability to carry the company to even bigger and better years.

I’m really enjoying Control on my XSX. When I first played it a few years ago (on PS4) I never finished it. I don’t know how far I am into it (I’m on mission “My brother’s keeper”) but am already further than I got last time.
I love this game. I played it when it first released on my PS4, and I was only a few trophies away from the Platinum but never went back to it. I’m replaying it now on my XSX and I plan on getting every achievement. I’m also excited to try out the DLC since I haven’t played it before.
Great to hear Control doing well
They did so well because they told playstation owners last year that they'd have to buy the ultimate edition to get the upgraded PS5 version. Then a couple of months later the ultimate edition is added to PSN+. Sly company
Control was the first game I played for the Series S — my first Xbox console — and I was thoroughly impressed. I'd love to see a direct sequel, and while that may be years away maybe Remedy Entertainment could update the engine in Quatum Break with the improved version used in Control. They both use versions of the in-house Northlight Engine, from what I understand.
Control: Ultimate Edition is technically a "new game" that released in 2020...
