EXPLANATORY NOTE

PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to amend its 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2026 (the “Original Report”). This Amendment is being filed for the purpose of including the information required by Items 10 through 14 of Part III of Form 10-K not included in the Original Report.

This information required by Items 10 through 14 of Part III of Form 10-K was previously omitted from the Original Report in reliance on SEC general instructions to Form 10-K, which permit the information in the above referenced items to be incorporated in a Form 10-K by reference from a definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after a company’s fiscal year-end. We are filing this Amendment to include Part III information in the Original Report because our definitive proxy statement containing this information will not be filed before that date.

As such, this Amendment hereby amends, supplements, and updates, as applicable, Items 10 through 14 of Part III of the Original Report. In addition, in accordance with applicable SEC rules, Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Report has been supplemented to include currently dated certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Except as described above, this Amendment does not amend, update or change any other items or disclosures in the Original Report and does not purport to reflect any information or events subsequent to the filing of the Original Report. As such, this Amendment speaks only as of the date the Original Report was filed, and we have not undertaken herein to amend, supplement or update any information contained in the Original Report to give effect to any subsequent events.

Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") issued a report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company within the Original Report. As this Amendment speaks to the date of the Original Report, Deloitte's report speaks only as to March 16, 2026. We have made no substantive changes to the Original Report other than those noted above.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership with the SEC. To our knowledge, based upon our review of reports filed with the SEC and written representations that no other reports were required, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, there were no failures to timely file reports by persons required to file reports under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES

Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that address, among other topics, the role and responsibilities of our directors, the structure and composition of our Board, and corporate governance policies and standards applicable to us in general. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are subject to periodic reviews and changes by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our Board. The full text of our Corporate Governance Guidelines is available on the investor relations page on our website at ir.playstudios.com.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers, and directors, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and other executive and senior financial officers. The full text of our code of business conduct and ethics is available on the investor relations page on our website at ir.playstudios.com. We intend to post any amendment to our code of business conduct and ethics, and any waivers of its requirements, on our website or in filings under the Exchange Act to the extent required by applicable rules or regulations or listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"). Information on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

This section provides an overview of our executive compensation programs, including a narrative description of the material factors necessary to understand the information disclosed in the summary compensation table below.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, our named executive officers (“Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”) were:

•Andrew Pascal, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer;

•Robert Oseland, Chief Operating Officer (appointed January 23, 2025); and

•Scott Peterson, Chief Financial Officer.

The objective of our executive compensation program is to provide a total compensation package to each NEO to enable us to attract, motivate and retain outstanding individuals, align the interests of our executive team with those of our equity holders, encourage individual and collective contributions to the successful execution of our short- and long-term business strategies and reward NEOs for performance. The Board of Directors has historically determined the compensation for the NEOs, with the CEO providing his recommendation regarding the compensation for the other NEOs.

The compensation program for the NEOs consists of base salary, incentive compensation delivered in the form of an annual cash bonus, and incentive compensation delivered in the form of equity, each as described below:

•Base Salary. Base salary is paid to attract and retain qualified talent and is set at a level that is commensurate with the NEO’s duties and authorities, contributions, prior experience, and sustained performance.

•Annual Cash Bonus. Annual cash bonuses are paid to incentivize the NEOs to achieve our annual financial and operating performance metrics goals and are paid at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

•Equity-Based Long-Term Incentive Compensation. Equity compensation is provided in the form of restricted stock units with multi-year vesting and performance stock units with company performance-based vesting to align NEO's interests with our stockholders' interests and to emphasize long-term financial performance and executive retention.

PROHIBITION ON HEDGING

Directors, officers, and employees are prohibited from engaging in any derivative transactions (including transactions involving options, puts, calls, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds or other derivatives) that are designed to hedge or speculate on any change in the market value of the Company’s equity securities. Directors, officers, and employees are also prohibited from shorting the Company’s stock. Hedging transactions may permit a director, officer, or employee to continue to own our securities obtained through employee benefit plans or otherwise, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the director, officer, or employee may no longer have the same objectives as our other stockholders.

POLICY ON STOCK PLEDGING

Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits pledges of our securities by employees, officers, and directors in any circumstance, including by purchasing Company securities on margin or holding Company securities in a margin account.

RECOUPMENT POLICY

The Company has adopted a mandatory recoupment policy in accordance with SEC and Nasdaq rules regarding required "clawback" policies. The Company’s mandatory recoupment policy requires the repayment of certain cash and equity-based incentive compensation provided to current or former executive officers in connection with a restatement of financial statements if such compensation exceeds the amount that the executive officers would have received based on the restated financial statements. The repayment requirement applies regardless of whether the executive officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the restatement.

The following table shows information concerning the annual compensation for services provided to the Company by the NEOs for the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

On March 7, 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. Severance and Change in Control Plan (the “Severance Plan”). The Severance Plan provides severance pay and benefits to eligible officers and management employees who are designated as Participants (as defined in the Severance Plan). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Severance Plan, which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 7, 2025 and filed on March 10, 2025.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to designate the executives and key employees who will be eligible to participate in the Severance Plan and is responsible for administering the Severance Plan. Each of the Company’s named executive officers has been designated as a Participant under the Severance Plan, with Mr. Pascal as a Tier 1 Participant and Mr. Peterson and Mr. Oseland as Tier 2 Participants.

Under the Severance Plan, Participants are entitled to severance benefits upon the occurrence of a Qualifying Termination, as follows:

Termination that Does Not Qualify as a Change in Control Termination. In the event of a Non-CIC Qualifying Termination, Participants will be eligible to receive the following benefits, provided the Participant enters into a Release and otherwise complies with the terms of the Severance Plan:

•A lump sum cash payment equal to (i) in the case of Tier 1 Participants, 1.0 times the sum of the Participants annual Base Salary plus annual target Bonus, or (ii) in the case of Tier 2 Participants, 0.5 times the Participant’s annual Base Salary.

•Continuation of the Participant’s medical, dental and vision benefits for the shorter of (i) in the case of Tier 1 Participants, 12 months, or, in the case of Tier 2 Participants, 6 months, (ii) until the date of the Participant becomes eligible to receive similar coverage from a subsequent employer, or (iii) until the date Participant and/or Participant’s covered dependents cease to be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage.

•With respect to unvested time-based equity awards, (i) for Tier 1 participants, partial vesting in an amount equal to the Time-Based Annual Equity Target applicable to such participant, pro rated to reflect the number of days elapsed in the year of termination, and (ii) for Tier 2 participants, unvested awards shall lapse in accordance with their terms, unless and to the extent otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee.

•With respect to unvested performance-based equity awards, (i) for Tier 1 participants, partial vesting in an amount equal to the Performance-Based Annual Equity Target applicable to such participant, pro rated to reflect the number of days elapsed in the year of termination, and (ii) for Tier 2 participants, unvested awards shall lapse in accordance with their terms, unless and to the extent otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee.

Termination in Connection with a Change in Control. In the event of a CIC Qualifying Termination (which generally consists of a termination without Cause or for Good Reason that occurs within 3 months before or 12 months after a Change in Control), Participants will be eligible to receive the following benefits, provided the Participant enters into a Release and otherwise complies with the terms of the Severance Plan:

•A lump sum cash payment equal to (i) in the case of Tier 1 Participants, 2.0 times the sum of the Participants annual Base Salary plus annual target Bonus, or (ii) in the case of Tier 2 Participants, 1.0 times the sum of the Participant’s annual Base Salary plus annual target Bonus.

•Continuation of the Participant’s medical, dental and vision benefits for the shorter of (i) in the case of Tier 1 Participants, 24 months, or, in the case of Tier 2 Participants, 12 months, (ii) until the date of the

Participant becomes eligible to receive similar coverage from a subsequent employer, or (iii) until the date Participant and/or Participant’s covered dependents cease to be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock as of March 20, 2026 by:

a.each of our directors and executive officers;

b.all directors and executive officers as a group; and

c.each person who is known to us to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. In computing the number of shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock held by a beneficial owner and that holder's percentage ownership, shares of our Class A common stock or Class B common stock subject to options and warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 20, 2026, as well as RSUs that are expected to vest and settle within 60 days of March 20, 2026, are deemed to be outstanding. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

The percentage ownership of common stock is based on 111,856,897 shares of Class A common stock and 16,457,769 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of March 20, 2026.

Each outstanding share of our Class B common stock is convertible at any time at the election of the holder into one share of Class A common stock.

Unless otherwise indicated and subject to applicable community property laws, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our Class A common stock or Class B common stock beneficially owned by them. The information provided in the table is based on our records, information filed with the SEC, and information provided to us, except as otherwise noted.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

SPONSOR SHARES

On September 15, 2020, Acies Acquisition, LLC, the sponsor of the SPAC in the business combination transaction described below (the "Sponsor"), purchased 8,625,000 shares of Acies Class A ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share, which converted into shares of our Class A common stock upon the closing of such business combination transaction (the "Sponsor Shares"). On October 20, 2020, the Sponsor cancelled an aggregate of 2,875,000 Sponsor Shares, and on November 9, 2020, forfeited an additional 368,750 Sponsor Shares as a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option in connection with Acies’ initial public offering ("Acies IPO"). On June 21, 2021, Old PLAYSTUDIOS and Acies entered into a business combination transaction (the "Business Combination") and, in connection with the consummation of such transaction, the Sponsor forfeited an additional 1,657,188 Sponsor Shares such that an aggregate of 3,724,062 Sponsor Shares are issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2025.

The Sponsor is controlled by Daniel Fetters and Edward King as managing members. Additionally, Mr. Pascal, prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, beneficially owned a 9.8% interest in the Sponsor. Mr. Pascal forfeited his interests in the Sponsor and all of the associated Acies Class B ordinary shares and Acies private placement warrants, in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Acies IPO, the Sponsor purchased 4,333,333 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, or $6,500,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement. Each private placement warrant entitled the holder to purchase one Acies Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share. Additionally, on November 9, 2020, the Sponsor purchased an additional 203,334 private placement warrants, for total gross proceeds to Acies of $305,000. The private placement warrants may not be redeemed by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private placement warrants are redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units that were sold as part of the Acies IPO. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis.

The private placement warrants are identical to the warrants included in the units sold in the Acies IPO except that the private placement warrants: (i) are not redeemable by us, (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or any of its permitted transferees and (iii) are entitled to registration rights (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants). Additionally, the purchasers agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the private placement warrants, including the Acies Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants (except to certain permitted transferees), until 30 days after Closing of the Business Combination.

In connection with the Business Combination, 715,000 of the private placement warrants were forfeited for no consideration. The remaining private placement warrants converted, on a one-for-one basis into warrants to acquire one share of Class A common stock pursuant to the Warrant Agreement.

In addition, in connection with the Acies IPO and the partial exercise of the over- allotment option, Mr. Pascal became the beneficial holder of 522,843 Acies Class B ordinary shares and 449,129 Acies private placement warrants through his ownership of interests in the Sponsor. Mr. Pascal forfeited his interests in the Sponsor and all of the associated Acies Class B ordinary shares and Acies private placement warrants at the Closing of the Business Combination.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

The holders of the Sponsor Shares and private placement warrants (and any Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Sponsor Shares and upon the exercise of the private placement warrants) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed October 22, 2020, as amended and restated on June 21, 2021, requiring us to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration

rights and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

TRANSACTION WITH CO-FOUNDER AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

In connection with the Business Combination and Merger Agreement, Andrew Pascal, Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors received shares of our Class B common stock. Shares of our Class B common stock are entitled to twenty votes per share. As a result, as of March 20, 2026 including options exercisable within 60 days, Mr. Pascal owned approximately 12.2% of our outstanding and issued capital stock and had approximately 77.4% of the combined voting power of our outstanding capital stock.

MGM MARKETING AGREEMENT, LETTER OF COMMITMENT, PROFIT SHARE BUYOUT AND PIPE PLACEMENT

We are party to a joint marketing agreement with MGM Resorts International ("MGM") (as amended, the “MGM Marketing Agreement”). MGM is a stockholder and MGM's Chief Commercial Officer also serves on the Board of Directors. As consideration for the use of MGM’s intellectual property in certain of our social casino games, we issued 19,200,000 shares of our common stock representing 10% of our then outstanding common stock, and in lieu of royalty payments, we agreed to pay MGM a profit share of up to a mid- to high-single digit percentage of cumulative net operating income, as defined in the MGM Marketing Agreement.

In October 2020, Old PLAYSTUDIOS and MGM agreed to amend the MGM Marketing Agreement to terminate the profit share provision (the "MGM Amendment"). Contemporaneously with the MGM Amendment, MGM delivered to us a Letter of Commitment pursuant to which it committed to participate in the PIPE Financing or other private placement of shares of our common stock for a minimum of $20.0 million. MGM applied the amount we were obligated to pay MGM under the MGM Amendment to satisfy its commitment, as permitted under the MGM Amendment. In exchange, we agreed to remit to MGM a one-time payment of $20.0 million, payable on the earliest to occur of (i) the PIPE Financing, (ii) the date that we waived MGM’s commitment to participate in the PIPE Financing, or (iii) two years from the date of the MGM Amendment. As of June 21, 2021, we satisfied all obligations related to the MGM profit share buyout as described below.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Acies entered into Subscription Agreements, each dated as of February 1, 2021, with the Subscribers (as defined in the Subscription Agreements), pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to purchase, and Acies agreed to sell the Subscribers, an aggregate of 25,000,000 Acies Class A Ordinary Shares (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $250.0 million (the “PIPE Placement”).

At the Closing of the Business Combination, we satisfied all obligations related to the MGM profit share buyout through the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock to MGM in the PIPE Placement.

ANDREW PASCAL - FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS

Andrew Pascal’s brother, David Pascal, has served as our director of marketing since June 21, 2021 and previously served as the director of marketing of Old PLAYSTUDIOS since October 2012. David Pascal received approximately $0.3 million and $0.3 million in salary, bonus, and benefits in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The 2024 amount includes the grant date fair value of 60,000 RSUs that were granted to David Pascal.

OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

PLAYSTUDIOS Impact Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company made charitable contributions of $1.5 million to the PLAYSTUDIOS Impact Fund (the “Fund”), a tax-exempt private foundation established by the Company and administered by certain members of the Company’s management team. These individuals serve as officers and directors of the Fund but receive no compensation in such capacities. The Fund supports charitable causes selected based on input from Company employees and customers. The Company did not make any charitable contribution during the year ended December 31, 2024.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS WITH OUR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that we will indemnify our directors to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law. We have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors, executive officers, and other

employees. Under the Bylaws, we are required to indemnify each of our directors and officers if the basis of the indemnitee’s involvement was by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee, or agent for another entity. We must indemnify our officers and directors against all expenses, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The Certificate of Incorporation also requires us to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the maximum extent permitted under Delaware law. Any claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

The Audit Committee also is directly responsible for evaluating the independent registered public accounting firm, reviewing and evaluating the lead partner of the independent registered public accounting firm, and overseeing the work of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee annually pre-approves audit services to be provided by Deloitte, and also considers and is required to pre-approve the engagement of Deloitte for the provision of other services during the year. For each proposed service, the independent registered public accounting firm is required to provide detailed supporting documentation at the time of approval to permit the Audit Committee to make a determination as to whether the provision of such services would impair the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence, and whether the fees for the services are appropriate. All services provided by Deloitte in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 were approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with the pre-approval policies and procedures.
