Super League, a leader in playable media, announced that it has acquired a minority stake in Hide or Die!, a prop‑hunt title that has become Roblox’s most visited game in 16 months. The acquisition gives Super League a foothold in a platform that hosts more than 570 million visits and nearly 3 million daily active users, making it one of the most engaging experiences on Roblox.
The deal is part of Super League’s broader strategy to transition from a brand‑activation agency to a portfolio of cash‑generating assets. CEO Matt Edelman said the company is “building a portfolio of equity ownership interests in cash‑generating properties for long‑term flexibility.” By owning a share of Hide or Die!, Super League can leverage the game’s large, engaged audience to expand its brand‑partner offerings and create new revenue streams.
While the financial terms of the stake are undisclosed, the move comes amid a period of financial strain for Super League. The company has reported negative operating margins and has recently completed a private placement to shore up its balance sheet and meet Nasdaq listing requirements. The acquisition is therefore seen as a potential catalyst for profitability, but it also reflects the company’s need to diversify its revenue base.
Hide or Die! has monetized its user base through in‑game purchases, game passes, and virtual items, contributing to Roblox’s overall developer earnings. Roblox’s Developer Exchange program paid out more than $1 billion to creators in the 12 months leading up to Q1 2025, underscoring the platform’s capacity to generate significant revenue for its top games.
The announcement was met with cautious optimism. Analysts noted Super League’s “strong pipeline” of potential acquisitions, but also highlighted the company’s ongoing financial challenges. The acquisition of Hide or Die! is viewed as a strategic step toward higher‑margin growth, though investors will watch how the company integrates the asset and whether it can translate the game’s popularity into sustainable earnings.
"Super League was one of the first teams to really get what creators are building on Roblox…They understand how games like Hide or Die! grow, how players engage, and how brands can show up without breaking the experience," said Cole Tucker, co‑creator of Hide or Die!. The comment underscores the perceived synergy between Super League’s brand‑activation expertise and the game’s community engagement.
