A turnover of 126M € for Focus Home Interactive last year

Farming Simulator 19 sold over 2 million copies, bolstering that number in the fourth quarter.

Focus Home Interactive has released its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2018-2019, generating annual revenue of 126 million euros ($ 140 million) from titles such as Vampyr, MudRunner and especially Farming Simulator 19 boosting the figure at the end of this period.

The French publisher had a solid fourth quarter (January to March 2019) with quarterly revenue up 14 million euros (16 million USD) to reach 24,5 million EUR (27,3 million USD). This growth was largely driven by sales of Insurgency: Sandstorm (launched in September) and Farming Simulator 19 (launched in November), which has sold more than two million copies to date.

Over the remainder of the year, the rest of Focus's catalog represented a quarter of its total sales. 90% of its sales were made outside France and 66% digitized. For the next fiscal year, the publisher is already on track with the success of Saber Interactive's World War Z, which sold one million copies in its first week. Other upcoming titles include Spiders' Greedfall, The Surge 2 from Deck13, and MudRunner 2 from Saber Interactive.
