Bulkhead, a studio acquired by Tencent via Splash Damage, found the parent company's demand for games with budgets over £50 million unsuited to their development style. Despite initial success with Battalion 1944 and pitching the PC shooter Wardogs, Tencent's scale led to Bulkhead spinning out into a new holding company, Super Media Group, with Team17 and Hiro Capital.

Everplay, the parent company of Team17, reported a 10% increase in gross profit to £76.3 million for its 2025 fiscal year, despite flat revenue of £166 million.
