Execution of Ownership Strategy to Drive High Margin Growth and Expand Brand Partnership Revenues 

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Super League (Nasdaq: SLE) (the “Company”), a leader in playable media trusted by global brands to reach and activate gaming audiences through playable ads and gamified content, announced today it has acquired an interest in Hide or Die!, a Top 100 Roblox game (source: Rotrends) that has been visited more than 570 million times in 16 months. The investment reflects a transition from strategy to execution as the Company begins securing ownership positions in cash-generating assets within the gaming content and media economy, establishing a foundation for future digital-asset-based initiatives aligned with owned revenue streams. The transaction accelerates Super League’s path to profitability while enabling its brand partners to access a significant, highly-engaged audience on the world’s largest immersive gaming and creation platform.

“This is a big moment for Super League. We’ve been clear about expanding our model through ownership positions in proven, revenue-generating properties, and Hide or Die! is exactly the type of asset we want to back. We’re grateful to Cole and Alex for believing we’re the right partners to help grow their business while also fueling our own,” said Matt Edelman, Chief Executive Officer of Super League. “Importantly, building a portfolio of equity ownership interests in cash-generating assets gives us long-term flexibility in how value is structured and shared as our digital asset strategy evolves.”

“Gaming sits at the center of media, culture, and the creator economy. More than 80% of people under 45—roughly 157 million people in the U.S. alone—play video games, yet the influence of play on consumer behavior remains underestimated by marketers. Super League is one of the few public companies purpose-built to monetize this gap through scalable media solutions, branded content activations, and now ownership in profitable assets. Together, these capabilities position the Company to drive meaningful revenue growth and deliver durable shareholder returns.”

Hide or Die! has been a popular multiplayer game on Roblox (NYSE: RBLX) since its launch in 2024, ranking among the platform’s Top 100 games by concurrent players and recently seeing nearly 3 million daily active users. It features a prop hunt hide and seek game, where a group of players are inserted into a map full of objects. One of the players is the seeker while the others are tasked with hiding and have the ability to transform themselves into any of the objects around the map, allowing them to blend in with their surroundings to elude the seeker.

“Super League was one of the first teams to really get what creators are building on Roblox,” said Cole Tucker, co-creator of Hide or Die! “They understand how games like Hide or Die! grow, how players engage, and how brands can show up without breaking the experience. We’re excited to work together and take our revenue to the next level.”

Roblox’s cultural significance continues to impress, with 151.5 million average daily active users as of September 30, 2025, according to the company’s third quarter 2025 financial results, and 88.7 billion hours engaged in the first three quarters of 2025, according to the 2025 Roblox Replay. In the recently published Roblox Replay, the company also shared that its Gen Z users conduct more than 50 million searches and update their avatars an average of 274 million times daily, with branded virtual apparel serving as a preview that guides real-world purchases.

The Hide or Die! creators participate in the Roblox Developer Exchange Program, through which creators have earned over $1 billion globally in the 12 months leading up to Q1 2025.
