Games Workshop Awards Staff $27M as Profits Soar

Games Workshop Shares £20 Million Windfall with Staff After Stellar Year

Warhammer creator Games Workshop continues its financial success, revealing plans to distribute a £20 million ($27 million) bonus pool among employees. The Nottingham-based tabletop gaming giant reported exceptional earnings for the fiscal year ending June 2025.

Record-Breaking Financial Performance

Financial highlights show remarkable growth across all metrics:

• Core revenue surged to £560 million from £494.7 million
• Licensing revenue jumped to £50 million from £31 million
• Pre-tax profits climbed to £255 million from £203 million

The company's 1,500 employees will receive equal shares of the £20 million bonus - approximately £13,333 ($18,000) per staff member. This exceeds last year's £18 million payout, reflecting the company's commitment to rewarding its workforce.

Diversified Success Across Media

While miniature sales remain core to the business, Games Workshop has successfully expanded into:

• Video games (Space Marine 2)
• Streaming content (Amazon's Warhammer 40,000 series)
• Upcoming cinematic universe (Henry Cavill's Warhammer project)

Future Outlook

Despite anticipating slightly lower licensing revenue in 2026, the Warhammer franchise shows no signs of slowing down. Recent announcements include:

• Warhammer Skulls showcase event highlights
• Dawn of War Definitive Edition
• New Siege mode for Space Marine 2
• Development of Space Marine 3 underway

The company's diversified media strategy combined with its strong tabletop foundation suggests continued growth for the Warhammer universe across multiple platforms.
