The group informed lenders about the repayment, marking progress towards meeting its obligations under the credit facility, which must be fully repaid by May 2025. According to release, installment aligns with Embracer's established financial plan.

The repayment was made possible by proceeds from the recent sale of [[News/Take-Two Acquires Gearbox|Gearbox Entertainment to Take-Two Interactive for $460m]], a transaction finalized last week.
