🎮 Pure‑Play Powerhouses — The World’s Most Valuable Publicly Listed Game‑Focused Companies

This chart ranks the world’s most valuable publicly listed video game companies whose gaming revenue accounts for over 90% of their total sales. From Nintendo’s market cap $100.75 B dominance to smaller but highly focused studios like Paradox Interactive, it’s a snapshot of the industry’s purest specialists.

Takeaway: The data shows that scale and focus can coexist — Nintendo leads by a wide margin, but mid‑tier names like Capcom, Krafton, and Square Enix maintain strong valuations thanks to deep IP portfolios and loyal player bases.

Analysis:

• Regional spread: Japan and South Korea dominate the upper ranks, reflecting their long‑standing development ecosystems and global reach.
• Valuation vs. revenue: Some companies (e.g., Roblox) command high market caps relative to revenue, signaling investor confidence in growth potential.
• IP leverage: Firms with evergreen franchises (Nintendo’s Mario, Capcom’s Resident Evil) enjoy resilience against market volatility.
• Niche strength: Smaller caps like Paradox and PlayWay prove that specialized genres can sustain profitable, publicly traded businesses.
