It would appear that the Take-Two Interactive company has sold off its indie game-focused Private Division. The label has operated as Take-Two’s A and AA gaming arm for quite a few years, publishing a large number of third-party indie developers. Unfortunately, Take-Two is parting ways with the label, having confirmed that it has sold Private Division to a currently unknown buyer.

Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) leadership made the announcement of Private Division’s sale during its Q2 2025 earnings results conference call this week. There, the group shared what details it could about the transaction. The buying price and buyer could not be disclosed at this time:

Private Division has still had plenty of irons in the fire throughout 2024. The group helped publish Penny’s Big Breakaway earlier this year, which was a fine 3D platformer. The group has also been working on Lord of the Rings Middle-earth-based cozy game, Tales of the Shire, which is set to release sometime in 2025. It seems that game will fall under the purview of Private Division’s new owner.

We’re still waiting on a few details in this story, such as what group bought Private Division and for how much. With that in mind, stay tuned for more updates and coverage on the Private Division topic as news drops.
