Partnership news has historically produced modest average moves of about 0.8%, with a mix of positive and negative reactions, so today’s double-digit gain is at the high end of past partnership responses.
Recent history shows GameSquare using partnerships to expand across gaming, Web3, and sports. Notable deals include the Dairy MAX renewal with strong Fortnite engagement metrics on Jan 21, 2026, the Dallas Cowboys Fortnite collaboration attracting 3.6M+ players in Oct 2025, and Web3-focused partnerships with Rekt Brands and Katana. These announcements often emphasize ecosystem reach and recurring revenue potential. Today’s Capcom campaign partnership fits that pattern of leveraging the platform for major IP launches.
