Three Noodlecake titles selected for Google Play Pass as mobile slate ramps up
Streamplay Studio Limited (ASX: SP8) has announced that three titles published by its wholly owned subsidiary, Noodlecake Studios, have been selected for inclusion in Google Play Pass: Golden Lap, Flick Shot Rogues, and Yes, Your Grace 2: Snowfall. The selections expand an additional subscription monetisation channel across Noodlecake’s current mobile publishing slate, sitting alongside traditional storefront sales. The announcements come as Noodlecake manages a concentrated release window across September and October 2026, with a fourth title, Winter Burrow, also approaching launch with more than 76,000 combined pre-orders and pre-registrations, though it has not been selected for Play Pass.

What is Google Play Pass and why does it matter for investors
Google Play Pass is a curated subscription service that gives Android users access to more than 1,000 selected games and applications without ads or in-app purchases. The service is available across Android devices and has expanded to Google Play Games on PC and XR.
Titles included in Play Pass generate royalty revenue for developers and publishers based on user engagement signals determined by Google’s algorithm. This means revenue is not a fixed fee, and will vary by title depending on user uptake. Streamplay has disclosed that royalty revenue cannot be reliably estimated at this time, and any material financial contribution will be reflected in ordinary financial reporting.
Strategically, Play Pass inclusion creates a monetisation channel that sits alongside traditional storefront sales on Google Play and the App Store. Noodlecake already holds established relationships with Tier-1 storefront and subscription partners including Apple, Xbox, Nintendo, and Amazon, making this latest selection a platform-by-platform expansion of an existing distribution strategy rather than a first-time platform relationship.
A closer look at the mobile slate
Golden Lap — 100,000 installs since July
Golden Lap surpassed 100,000 mobile installs following its launch across iOS and Android in July 2026 (originally announced ASX: 3 November 2025). The title was developed by Funselektor Labs and published on mobile by Noodlecake. While selected for Play Pass, actual availability remains subject to Google’s platform rollout requirements.
Flick Shot Rogues — mobile release set for 16 September 2026
Flick Shot Rogues is currently available for pre-order on the Apple App Store and pre-registration on Google Play, with a planned mobile release of 16 September 2026. The title originally launched on Steam in September 2025 and has been adapted for touchscreen devices under a try-before-you-buy model (ASX: 24 August 2026). It has been selected for Play Pass.
The Flick Shot Rogues mobile pre-order opening was announced alongside a separate publishing agreement for Monkey Brain, another title from the same developer, Butter By The Fish, indicating a deepening relationship with the studio beyond this single release.
Yes, Your Grace 2: Snowfall — franchise with 1.6 million prior installs
Yes, Your Grace 2: Snowfall has opened for iOS pre-order, with Android pre-registration to follow and a mobile release targeted for late October 2026. The mobile adaptation is being developed and published by Noodlecake under its existing agreement with Brave At Night (ASX: 12 January 2026). The original Yes, Your Grace generated more than 1.6 million installs across mobile storefronts, providing an established mobile audience for the franchise. The title has been selected for Play Pass.
Winter Burrow — 76,000 pre-orders and pre-registrations, launching 30 September
Winter Burrow is not a Play Pass selection but forms a fourth near-term release event within the same concentrated window. Combined mobile pre-orders and pre-registrations now exceed 76,000, with a planned release of 30 September 2026 across iOS and Android. The title has already been released on Steam, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, and previously reported A$5.7 million in cumulative revenue (ASX: 21 July 2026).
The Winter Burrow mobile launch was confirmed alongside a revenue milestone of A$5.7 million in cumulative gross revenue across Steam, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, with a Steam Daily Deal promotion generating a 894% spike in average daily revenue during its promotional window.
| Title | Play Pass | Release Date | Key Metric | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Lap | Yes | Live (July 2026) | 100,000+ installs | iOS & Android |
| Flick Shot Rogues | Yes | 16 Sept 2026 | Pre-order/pre-reg live | iOS & Android |
| Yes, Your Grace 2: Snowfall | Yes | Late Oct 2026 | 1.6M franchise installs | iOS (Android to follow) |
| Winter Burrow | No | 30 Sept 2026 | 76,000+ pre-orders/pre-reg | iOS & Android |
Multiple near-term revenue and growth catalysts ahead
The September and October 2026 window presents a concentrated cluster of near-term catalysts for Noodlecake. Two title releases are targeted in September alone, Flick Shot Rogues on 16 September and Winter Burrow on 30 September, followed by Yes, Your Grace 2: Snowfall in late October. Across three of these titles, Play Pass selection introduces dual-channel monetisation: traditional storefront sales running in parallel with subscription royalty revenue.
This slate builds on Noodlecake’s established publishing track record of more than 60 published titles and 270 million downloads worldwide.
Ryan Holowaty, CEO of Noodlecake
“Having this many of the games we’re currently working on selected for Play Pass is really exciting for the team. It’s really reassuring to see several very different titles from our current publishing slate being hand-picked for a curated service.”
Investors should note that royalty revenue from Play Pass cannot be reliably estimated at this stage. Streamplay has indicated that any material financial contribution will be disclosed through ordinary financial reporting, making future quarterly reports the appropriate reference point for assessing the financial impact of these platform inclusions.
