Pragmatic Play Sets Record with 28 New Game Releases in Q1 2026

Pragmatic Play has announced that it released 28 new titles across its slots and live casino verticals in Q1 2026, the highest single-quarter release count in the supplier's history and a 22% increase over the same period in 2025.

The Malta-based content provider — now distributing to over 900 operator partners across more than 80 regulated markets — attributed the record output to a significant expansion of its Malta and Kyiv studio capacity, as well as investment in its proprietary game development platform, which has reduced average time-to-release by approximately 35% since 2023.

Highlights from the Q1 slate include the fifth instalment in the flagship Gates of Olympus series, three new entries in the Starlight Princess franchise, and the expansion of its live casino offering with dedicated tables for the German, Dutch, and Swedish markets.

"Volume matters in this industry, but quality matters more. Every title we release must meet the same bar. The fact that we can now do both at this scale is a reflection of the team we've built," said Pragmatic Play Chief Commercial Officer Melissa Summerfield.

The supplier also confirmed the renewal of distribution agreements with three Tier 1 operators during the quarter — agreements that the company said collectively represent access to a combined player base of over 15 million registered accounts in Europe alone.

Pragmatic Play's live casino vertical has been a particular area of growth, with gross gaming revenue from its live tables growing 67% year-on-year in 2025. The company plans to open a new dedicated live studio in Bucharest in Q3 2026 to support continued expansion.
