A licensed SpongeBob SquarePants sandbox game starring Patrick Star, released in 2024 by Outright Games.
The Patrick Star Game sits in a difficult middle ground: it has generated modest residual revenue ($924/mo mid-estimate) and maintains a healthy 81% positive review rate, but it's a licensed IP title with a modest player base (2 concurrent, 9 in peak 30d) and design feedback that suggests it underdelivers against its $39.99 price point. For a publisher or IP holder evaluating the Nickelodeon catalog, this is worth monitoring as a low-cost revival target (price cut, seasonal DLC, mobile port) rather than an acquisition play; the core audience skews younger and is price-sensitive. Most realistic play: publishing.
- Risk: Nickelodeon retains IP rights; any meaningful revival or porting requires license renegotiation with terms that may not justify modest residual revenue.
- Risk: Player base is extremely thin (2 concurrent) and reviews cite shallow mechanics and overpricing; deep design overhaul would exceed recovery potential.
- Risk: Developer PHL Collective has gone quiet for 17 months; sustained post-launch support appears dormant.
