Pearl Abyss Sells EVE Online Studio for $120M, Half of What It Paid

The final sale price is less than half of the $225 million Pearl Abyss initially paid for CCP in 2018, plus potential additional payments of up to $200 million based on performance. Pearl Abyss’s eight years of ownership were difficult, as CCP consistently lost money – even after receiving an extra $50 million investment, they reported a $19 million operating loss in 2024. It’s currently unclear how the buyout was financed, what CCP’s budget will be moving forward, or how they plan to pay off the remaining $50 million debt.
