In 2025, Perfect World continued to deepen its research and development system, achieving significant synergistic results across multiple business segments.
The company's operational conditions have continuously improved, with performance trending positively.
According to the financial report for the third quarter of 2025, the company achieved operating revenue of 5.417 billion yuan for the first three quarters, a year-on-year increase of 33.00%, and realized a net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company of 666 million yuan, turning a profit compared to a loss in the same period last year.
Throughout the year, Perfect World's gaming business persistently advanced its synergistic development model of "dual-track progression for classic genres and trendy genres."
In the classic genres segment, the company leveraged its core advantages in the MMORPG track, focusing on long-term operations to solidify its foundation.
For instance, the Perfect World IP currently has five live-operated products active on PC, mobile, and mini-game platforms, including titles like "Perfect World Classic" and "Perfect World International 2," which have been operating for approximately 20 years; the mobile game "Zhu Xian 2" commenced its public beta in early August 2025.
In the trendy genres segment, "Persona: Phantom of the Night" (P5X) was launched in overseas markets in the summer of the same year, available on both mobile and PC platforms.
During its public beta, P5X soared to the top of the iOS free game charts in 35 countries and regions, including the UK, Germany, France, the US, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, India, the Philippines, and China's Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan; it reached Top 4 in Japan's iOS overall grossing chart and Top 2 in the game grossing chart, and was nominated for "Best Mobile Game" at The Game Awards (TGA) 2025; the in-development product "Yi Huan" was showcased at Gamescom 2025 in Germany in August and the Tokyo Game Show 2025 in Japan in September, and is set to commence its global "Co-existence Test" shortly.
Furthermore, Perfect World has continued to cultivate its esports business, which has developed steadily and consistently contributed stable performance, serving as an evergreen segment for long-term operations within the company's product matrix.
In October 2025, Perfect World hosted the CAC Asia Invitational (CAC 2025), attracting 16 teams from domestic and international regions including Europe, the Americas, and China.
In the same year, the company also organized the Perfect World CS National League (PNL), the Perfect World CS Challenge (PWC), managed the Chinese qualifiers for the PGL Bucharest event, and hosted the Dota Campus Tournament, all of which received widespread acclaim from players and the industry.
In August 2026, DOTA2's premier global esports event, The International (TI 2026), is scheduled to be held in Shanghai.
This will mark the second time the event comes to Shanghai, facilitated by Perfect World, since The International 2019 (TI9).
In the film and television business segment, operating revenue for the first three quarters reached 918 million yuan.
Several film and television works premiered to favorable reviews, the commercialization of micro-drama business achieved significant progress, and the company began experimenting with an IP linkage model combining "long-form dramas + short-form dramas."
Among them, the TV series "Welcome to Maile Village," which tells a story related to the "Belt and Road" initiative, and the short drama "Couple's Spring Festival," among other productions, have won multiple international communication awards.
Not only has Perfect World continuously refined its business operations, but it has also remained committed to social development, actively fulfilling its public responsibilities.
For example, the company launched the "Perfect Carbon Benefit" employee carbon inclusive platform to practice green development concepts and build a low-carbon future; since 2023, it has fully initiated and sustained the "Perfect Shangxue Scholarship" program to support rural education.
The 2025 Hithink Royalflush Listed Companies Annual List encompasses a total of 7 major award categories.
The selection for the "Most Popular Listed Company" award is based on public voting data from a vast number of internet users and voting data from professional institutions.
