Nexon outperforms expectations thanks to South Korean gamers

The free-to-play PC gaming publisher Nexon had a strong quarter thanks to support from its home market.

The South Korean company reported the results of its Q3, and it revealed that it generated $395 million (¥45.6 billion) in revenues during the period. That is up 14 percent year-over-year, and it’s also $27 million (¥3 billion) higher than its own guidance. Nexon’s PC games continue to contribute the bulk of its earnings — although mobile contributions were up 41 percent to $8.87 million (¥9.7 billion).
