In connection with the acquisition of Playrion, Trophy Games raised its full-year guidance for 2026 on September 25, 2026 (Company Announcement no. 49/2026). The revised guidance, which includes Playrion's results for Q4, is maintained:
| Previous 2026 Guidance | Guidance 2026 (Maintained) | YTD Q3 2026 | |
| Revenue | DKK 150-167m | DKK 170-180m | DKK 133.5m |
| EBITDA | DKK 28-36m | DKK 29-35m | DKK 26.1m |
