Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization and Description of Business PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc., formerly known as Acies Acquisition Corp. (the "Company" or "PLAYSTUDIOS"), was incorporated on August 14, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company, and domesticated into a Delaware corporation on June 21, 2021 (the "Domestication"). The Company's legal name became PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. following the closing of the business combination discussed in Note 3— Business Combination . The prior period financial information represents the financial results and conditions of Old PLAYSTUDIOS (as defined in Note 3— Business Combination ). The Company develops and operates online and mobile social gaming applications (“games” or “game”) each of which incorporate a unique loyalty program offering “real world” rewards provided by a collection of awards partners. The Company’s games are free-to-play and available via the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Amazon Appstore, and Facebook (collectively, “platforms” or “platform operators”). The Company creates games based on its own original content as well as third-party licensed brands. The Company generates revenue through the in-game sale of virtual currency and through advertising. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references herein to “PLAYSTUDIOS,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” are used to refer collectively to PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain reclassifications in these financial statements have been made to comply with US GAAP applicable to public companies and SEC Regulation S-X. The significant accounting policies referenced in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2021 have been applied consistently in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position as of June 30, 2022, and its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. The Company made certain reclassifications to the comparative balances in the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform with current year presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the estimated consumption rate of virtual goods that is used in the determination of revenue recognition, useful lives of property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, the expensing and capitalization of research and development costs for internal-use software, assumptions used in accounting for income taxes, stock-based compensation and the evaluation of goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment. The Company believes the accounting estimates are appropriate and reasonably determined. Due to the inherent uncertainties in making these estimates, actual amounts could differ materially. Segments Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available, and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The CODM, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating performance and allocating resources. As such, the Company has one operating and reportable segment. Emerging Growth Company At June 30, 2022, the Company qualified as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and the Company has taken and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has opted to take advantage of such extended transition period available to emerging growth companies which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. The Company did not lose its emerging growth company status on December 31, 2021. As a result, the Company does not expect to adopt any accounting pronouncements currently deferred based on private company standards until a year subsequent to 2022. The Company will reevaluate its eligibility to retain emerging growth company status at the end of its second quarter of 2023, and otherwise as required. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES For a discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates, please refer to our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 3, 2022. Share-Based Compensation The Company has a stock-based compensation program which provides for equity awards including time-based stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period for the award. The Company records forfeitures as a reduction of stock-based compensation expense as those forfeitures occur. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to determine the fair value for option awards. In valuing our option awards, the Company makes assumptions about risk-free interest rates, dividend yields, volatility and weighted-average expected lives. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Risk-free interest rates are derived from United States Treasury securities as of the option award grant date. Expected dividend yield is based on our historical cash dividend payments, which have been zero to date. The expected volatility for shares of the Company's Class A common stock is estimated using our historical volatility. The weighted-average expected life of the option awards is estimated based on our historical exercise data. The Company's dual class structure was created upon the Domestication (as defined in Note 1— Background and Basis of Presentation ). The Class B common stock including Class B common stock underlying vested stock options, held by Mr. Andrew Pascal, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, or his affiliates (the "Founder Group") carry a super vote premium. As the Founder Group did not have control of Old PLAYSTUDIOS prior to the Business Combination, and Mr. Pascal is an employee of the Company, the incremental value resulting from the super vote premium is accounted for as incremental compensation costs. The Company utilized the market approach by observing other market participants with (i) dual class structures, (ii) super vote premiums for a single class and (iii) both classes trading on a national exchange. Based on the observed data, management selected a premium for the Class B common stock and the stock options held by members of the Founder Group. The Company uses the estimated fair value of equity and associated per-share value at the time of grant to determine the compensation cost to be recognized associated with RSUs granted. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The amended guidance is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The adoption of this guidance is expected to result in a significant portion of the Company’s operating leases, where the Company is the lessee, to be recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The guidance requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. This guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company intends to first present the application of this guidance in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2022 with an effective date of January 1, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current guidance with a current expected credit loss model (“CECL”) that incorporates a broader range of reasonable and supportable information including the forward-looking information. This guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that annual reporting period, with early adoption permitted. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes . The new guidance removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. It also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on January 1, 2022. The adoption resulted in the Company not utilizing the prior exception under ASC 740-270-30-28 to the general methodology of calculating interim income taxes for the period ended June 30, 2022, but did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. |

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
BUSINESS COMBINATION | BUSINESS COMBINATION Business Combination On June 21, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Acies Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (prior to the Closing Date, “Acies”), consummated the previously announced business combination (“Business Combination”) with PlayStudios, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Old PLAYSTUDIOS”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 1, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Acies, Catalyst Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Acies (“First Merger Sub”), Catalyst Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Acies (“Second Merger Sub”), and Old PLAYSTUDIOS. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, Acies filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which Acies was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation, changing its name to PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. (the “Domestication”). As a consequence of filing the Certificate of Incorporation, the Company adopted a dual class structure, comprised of the Company’s Class A common stock, which is entitled to one vote per share, and the Company’s Class B common stock, which is entitled to 20 votes per share. See Note 16— Stockholders' Equity for further discussion on the dual class structure. As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, among other things, (1) each of the then-issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Acies (the “Acies Class A ordinary shares”), automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A common stock”); (2) each then-issued and outstanding redeemable warrant of Acies automatically converted into a redeemable warrant (the "Warrants") to acquire one share of Class A common stock; and (3) each of the then-issued and outstanding units of Acies that had not been previously separated into the underlying Acies Class A ordinary shares and underlying Acies warrants upon the request of the holder thereof were cancelled and entitled the holder thereof to one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one Warrant. Any fractional Warrants for any holder of units were rounded down and canceled for no consideration. Following the Domestication, the following transactions (the “Transactions”) occurred: • First Merger Sub merged with and into Old PLAYSTUDIOS, with Old PLAYSTUDIOS surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Acies (the “First Merger”); • immediately following the First Merger, and as part of an integrated transaction with the First Merger, Old PLAYSTUDIOS merged with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Acies (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”); • as a result of the Mergers, among other things, each outstanding share of common stock of Old PLAYSTUDIOS (“PlayStudios Common Stock”) and each outstanding share of preferred stock of Old PLAYSTUDIOS (“PlayStudios Preferred Stock” and, together with the "PlayStudios Common Stock," the "Old PLAYSTUDIOS Stock") as of the effective time of the First Merger (the “Effective Time”) were cancelled in exchange for the following: ◦ if the holder of such share made an election to receive cash, $0.233 in cash per share of Old PLAYSTUDIOS Stock subject to such cash election, provided that no holder could elect to receive cash for more than 15% of such holder's shares of Old PLAYSTUDIOS Stock; ◦ if the holder of such share did not make a cash election, the capital stock held by the holder was automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive 0.233 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Exchange Ratio"), rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares; • as a result of the Mergers, each outstanding share of PlayStudios Common Stock and PlayStudios Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time as well as any outstanding unexercised vested options to purchase shares of PlayStudios Common Stock received the contingent right to receive the applicable Earnout Pro Rata Portion (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of an aggregate of 15.0 million additional shares of Class A common stock (the “Earnout Shares”), which right shall be contingent upon the closing price of the Class A common stock exceeding $12.50 and $15.00 per share, respectively, for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing on or after November 18, 2021 and ending no later than June 21, 2026 (the Earnout Shares will also vest based on the price targets in connection with a sale of the Company) (each of the foregoing vesting events, an “Earnout Triggering Event”); and • as a result of the Mergers, each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase PlayStudios Common Stock, whether or not vested or exercisable, converted into an option to purchase a share of Class A common stock, except for any such option that was held by any member of the Founder Group, which converted into an option to purchase a share of Class B common stock, in each case with the same terms except for the number of shares exercisable thereunder and the exercise price, each of which were adjusted using the Exchange Ratio. In connection with the Business Combination, Acies entered into subscription agreements with certain investors ("PIPE Investors"), whereby it issued 25.0 million shares of Class A common stock at $10.00 per share (the "PIPE Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of $250.0 million (the "PIPE Financing"), which closed simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination. $20.0 million of the PIPE Financing was used to terminate the profit share provision of an agreement with MGM Resorts International, one of the PIPE Investors. The following table summarizes the total number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the Closing. Shares Acies public stockholders (1) 10,191 Sponsor (1)(2) 3,724 PLAYSTUDIOS stockholders (excluding the Founder Group) (3) 70,708 Founder Group (3) 16,130 PIPE Investors 25,000 Common Stock 125,753 Class A common stock 109,623 Class B common stock 16,130 (1) Excludes the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Warrants, as the Warrants are not exercisable until October 27, 2021. Reflects the redemption of 11.3 million Acies Class A ordinary shares. (2) Includes 0.9 million shares of Class A common stock, held by Acies Acquisition, LLC (the "Sponsor") that are subject to forfeiture if certain earnout conditions are not satisfied, as the shares are issued and outstanding as of the Closing of the Business Combination. The 0.9 million shares do not have voting rights until the Earnout Triggering Event has occurred. (3) Excludes the shares of Class A and Class B common stock underlying stock options and the Earnout Shares, as they do not represent legally outstanding shares of common stock at Closing. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company incurred direct and incremental costs of $32.8 million related to the equity issuance, consisting primarily of investment banking and other professional fees, which were recorded to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of proceeds. The Company incurred approximately $1.4 million of expenses primarily related to advisory, legal and accounting fees in conjunction with the Business Combination. Of this, $0.1 million and $1.3 million were recorded in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The aggregate consideration for the Business Combination was approximately $1,041.0 million, payable in the form of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock and cash. The following table summarizes the merger consideration (in thousands, except per share information). Consideration Cash consideration $ 102,020 Shares transferred at closing (1) 86,838 Value per share $ 10.00 Share consideration $ 868,380 Total consideration $ 970,400 Shares of common stock underlying vested options 7,060 Value per share $ 10.00 70,600 Aggregate consideration $ 1,041,000 (1) Excludes shares of common stock underlying stock options that are vested but unexercised as of the Closing Date of the Business Combination. As the shares do not represent legally outstanding shares of common stock at Closing, they are excluded from the total consideration amount. The following table reconciles the elements of the Business Combination to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021: Cash - Acies Trust and cash (net of redemptions) $ 101,965 Cash - PIPE 230,000 Less: Cash consideration (102,020) Less: Transaction costs (44,775) Net Business Combination and PIPE Financing $ 185,170 Reverse Recapitalization The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization and Acies was treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes. The Business Combination was accounted as the equivalent of Old PLAYSTUDIOS issuing stock for the net assets of Acies, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, all historical financial information presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements represents the accounts of Old PLAYSTUDIOS “as if” Old PLAYSTUDIOS is the predecessor to the Company. The common stock and net income per share, prior to the Business Combination, have been adjusted to share amounts reflecting the Exchange Ratio. WonderBlocks Asset Acquisition On August 2, 2022, playBLOCKS, Inc., a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("playBLOCKS") entered into an agreement with WonderBlocks Labs, Inc. (“WonderBlocks"), which provides tools for the development of a play-to-earn loyalty platform for digital entertainment on the Ethereum blockchain, pursuant to which playBLOCKS acquired substantially all of the assets of WonderBlocks. playBLOCKS paid WonderBlocks $2.0 million less Indebtedness (borrowed money and accrued interest, including debt to the Company) at closing and agreed to pay up to an additional $3 million subject to the satisfaction of certain product and financial milestones. We believe this acquisition will allow us to enhance our playAWARDS model with new Web3 features and capabilities. We are currently in the process of finalizing the accounting for this transaction and expect to complete our preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the end of the third quarter of 2022. |

In connection with the Business Combination and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company paid $2.5 million to PLAYSTUDIOS Impact Fund, formerly known as myCause Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) foundation established and administered by certain members of management of the Company. The Company’s expenses recognized from related parties were immaterial during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. MGM Resorts International (“MGM”) MGM is a stockholder and MGM's Chief Commercial Officer also serves on the Company’s Board of Directors. MGM owned approximately 16.6 million and 16.6 million shares of the Company's outstanding Class A common stock as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Marketing Agreement In April 2011, the Company entered into a joint marketing agreement with MGM (as amended, the “Marketing Agreement”) in exchange for assistance with marketing campaigns and the exclusive right to utilize MGM’s licensed marks and licensed copyrights for the development of certain of the Company’s social casino games. The initial term was for one year from the go-live date of the first such game in July 2012, with an automatic renewal provision for successive two-year terms based on the games meeting certain performance criteria. If the games do not achieve the specified performance criteria, the term will be automatically renewed for a one-year period and the right to utilize MGM’s licensed marks and copyrights will become non-exclusive. The non-exclusive term will be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods so long as the games meet certain other performance criteria. As consideration for the use of MGM’s intellectual property, the Company issued 19.2 million shares of its common stock representing 10% of its then-outstanding common stock; and in lieu of royalty payments, the Company agreed to pay MGM a profit share of: (i) during the exclusive term, a mid- to high-single digit percentage of cumulative net operating income, as defined in the Marketing Agreement, and (ii) during the non-exclusive term, a low- to mid-single digit percentage of cumulative net operating income. As further described in Note 9— Goodwill and Intangible Assets , the Marketing Agreement was recorded as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. On October 30, 2020, the Company and MGM agreed to amend the Marketing Agreement (the “MGM Amendment”), under which the Company and MGM agreed to terminate the profit share provision. In exchange, the Company agreed to remit to MGM a one-time payment of $20.0 million, payable on the earliest to occur of (i) the PIPE Investment, (ii) the date that the Company waives MGM’s commitment to participate in the PIPE Investment, or (iii) two years from the date of the MGM Amendment. In addition, MGM agreed to reinvest in the Company at a minimum amount of $20.0 million by participating in the PIPE Investment or a private placement of equity offering to third party investors for minimum gross proceeds to the Company of $50.0 million. As a result of the termination, the Company is no longer obligated to make profit share payments, but the other rights and obligations under the Marketing Agreement continue in full force and effect. On June 21, 2021, the Company consummated the Business Combination and MGM participated in the PIPE Investment. In connection with the PIPE Investment, the Company recorded an equity contribution from MGM as a settlement of the $20.0 million liability. |

Other Liabilities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
WARRANT LIABILITIES | WARRANT LIABILITIES Public Warrants and Private Warrants Upon the closing of the Business Combination, there were approximately 7.2 million publicly-traded redeemable warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock (the "Public Warrants") and 3.8 million redeemable warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock initially issued to the Sponsor in a private placement (the "Private Warrants") were issued by Acies prior to the Business Combination. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 in cash per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, as of October 27, 2021. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a holder of Public Warrants may exercise the Public Warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. The Public Warrants will expire 5 years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants were not transferable until after the completion of the Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial holder or any of its permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial holder or its permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. The Private Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis so long as held by the Sponsor or certain permitted transferees. The Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20-trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three On April 1, 2022, the Company commenced (i) an offer to each holder of its outstanding Public Warrants and Private Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”), each to purchase shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, the opportunity to receive $1.00 in cash, without interest, for each outstanding Warrant tendered by the holder pursuant to the offer (the “Offer to Purchase”), and (ii) the solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the outstanding Warrants to amend the Warrant Agreement, dated as of October 22, 2020, by and between the Company (formerly Acies Acquisition Corp.) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, which governs all of the Warrants (the “Warrant Amendment”) (collectively the "Tender Offer").

The Company, a subsidiary of the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Silicon Valley Bank and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which provides for a five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed by the Company, and are available for working capital, general corporate purposes and permitted acquisitions. Commitment fees and interest rates are determined on the basis of either a Eurodollar rate or an Alternate Base Rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins are initially 2.50%, in the case of Eurodollar loans, and 1.50%, in the case of Alternate Base Rate loans. The applicable margin is subject to adjustment based upon the Company's Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Eurodollar rates and the Alternate Base Rate are subject to floors of 0.00% and 1.00%, respectively. The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative financial and operational covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement includes customary reporting requirements, conditions precedent to borrowing and affirmative, negative and financial covenants. Specific financial covenants include the following, commencing with the quarter ended September 30, 2021: • Maximum Net Leverage Ratio of 3.50:1.00 (subject to increase to 4.00:1.00 following consummation of certain material acquisitions) • Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.25:1.00.

As of June 30, 2022, all leases were classified as operating leases and expire at various dates through 2027, with certain leases containing renewal option periods of two The Company’s future minimum rental commitments as of June 30, 2022, are as follows: Year Ending December 31, Minimum Rental Remaining 2022 $ 2,124 2023 4,239 2024 4,041 2025 2,497 2026 and thereafter 3,344 Total $ 16,245 On July 29, 2022, the Company terminated the lease associated with its office in Las Vegas, Nevada in connection with the purchase of the real property associated at the same location. The Company is no longer required to make the remaining lease payments through January 2027 totaling approximately $2.1 million. Refer to Note 7— Property and equipment, net for further information. Certain lease agreements have rent escalation provisions over the lives of the leases. The Company recognizes rental expense based on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. Rental expense was $1.0 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $2.1 million and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which is included within “General and administrative” expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. N3TWORK, Inc. On November 22, 2021, the Company entered into agreements with N3TWORK Inc. and The Tetris Company, LLC pursuant to which the Company acquired the rights to develop and operate Tetris®-branded mobile games for an initial term through August 2024. The Company paid N3TWORK Inc. $13.0 million at closing and agreed to pay up to an additional $34.0 million subject to satisfaction of certain conditions (the "Contingent Payments"). As of June 30, 2022, the Company advanced $8.0 million of the Contingent Payments (the "Advance Payment"). None of the Advance Payment was considered earned as of June 30, 2022, which is included within "Other long-term assets" within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other The Company is party to ordinary and routine litigation incidental to its business. On a case-by-case basis, the Company engages inside and outside counsel to assess the probability of potential liability resulting from such litigation. After making such assessments, the Company makes an accrual for the estimated loss only when the loss is reasonably probable and an amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not expect the outcome of any pending litigation to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations, or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In May 2021, the Company became party to a litigation matter brought by TeamSava d.o.o. Beograd (“TeamSava”) and other related parties. The plaintiffs filed a Statement of Claim in May 2021 in Tel Aviv District Court in Israel, alleging claims, among other things, that the Company breached the terms of a commercial contract relating to services provided by TeamSava and related parties in connection with the sourcing and administrative management of personnel in Serbia who provided game development services exclusively for the Company. The pending litigation seeks damages of 27.3 million New Israeli Shekels ("NIS"). The Company believes that the claims are without merit and the Company intends to vigorously defend against them; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in the defense of this litigation. The Company’s range of possible loss could be up to 27.3 million NIS based on the claim amount of the litigation, but the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the probability or amount of loss and therefore has not made any accruals. On April 6, 2022, a class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, by a purported Company shareholder in connection with alleged federal securities violations: Christian A. Felipe et. al. v. PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. (the “Felipe Complaint”). On July 15, 2022, the Felipe Complaint was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, Southern Division. The Felipe Complaint names the Company and Andrew Pascal, the Company’s Chairman and CEO as defendants. The Felipe Complaint alleges misrepresentations and omissions regarding the state of the Company’s development of the Kingdom Boss game and its financial projections and future prospects in the S-4 Registration Statement filed by Acies that was declared effective on May 25, 2021, the Proxy Statement filed by Acies on May 25, 2021, and other public statements that touted Old PLAYSTUDIOS’ and the Company’s financial performance and operations, including statements made on earnings calls and the Amended S-1 Registration Statement filed by the Company that was declared effective on July 30, 2021. The Felipe Complaint alleges that the misrepresentations and omissions resulted in stock price drops of 13% on August 12, 2021, and 5% on February 25, 2022, following (i) the Company’s release of financial results for the second quarter of 2021, ended on June 30, 2021, and (ii) the filing of the Company’s annual report for 2021 and issuance of a press release summarizing financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Felipe Complaint seeks an award of damages for an unspecified amount. The Company believes that the claims are without merit and the Company intends to vigorously defend against them; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in the defense of this litigation. The Company is not able to reasonably estimate the probability or amount of loss and therefore has not made any accruals. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY | STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY The condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity reflect the reverse recapitalization as discussed in Note 1— Background and Basis of Presentation as of June 21, 2021. As Old PLAYSTUDIOS was deemed the accounting acquirer in the reverse recapitalization with Acies, all periods prior to the consummation date reflect the balances and activity of Old PLAYSTUDIOS. The consolidated balances and the audited consolidated financial statements of Old PLAYSTUDIOS, as of December 31, 2020, and the share activity and per share amounts in these condensed consolidated statements of equity were retroactively adjusted, where applicable, using the recapitalization exchange ratio of approximately 0.233 for Old PLAYSTUDIOS common stock. Old PLAYSTUDIOS Series A Preferred Stock, Old PLAYSTUDIOS Series B Preferred Stock, Old PLAYSTUDIOS Series C-1 Preferred Stock, and Old PLAYSTUDIOS Series C Preferred Stock were deemed converted into shares of Old PLAYSTUDIOS common stock at a share conversion factor of 1.0 as a result of the reverse recapitalization. Old PLAYSTUDIOS warrants to purchase preferred stock were deemed exercised and the underlying shares converted based on the respective preferred stock conversion ratio. Common Stock As of June 30, 2022, the Company was authorized to issue 2.0 billion and 25.0 million shares of Class A and Class B common stock, respectively. The Company had 111.9 million and 110.1 million shares of Class A common stock and 16.1 million and 16.1 million shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Subject to the prior rights of the holders of any preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of the funds legally available at the times and in the amounts determined by the Company's Board of Directors. Each holder of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Class A common stock held and each holder of Class B common stock is entitled to twenty votes for each share of Class B common stock held. After the full preferential amounts due to preferred stockholders have been paid or set aside, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, if any, are distributed to the holders of common stock ratably in proportion to the number of shares of common stock then held by each such holder. None of the Company’s common stock is entitled to preemptive rights and neither is subject to redemption. The Company’s common stock is not convertible into any other shares of the Company’s capital stock. The shares of Class B common stock are subject to a “sunset” provision if any member of the Founder Group transfers shares of Class B common stock outside the Founder Group (except for certain permitted transfers). In the event of such non-permitted transfers, any share transferred will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock. In addition, the outstanding shares of Class B common stock will be subject to a “sunset” provision by which all outstanding shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock (i) if holders representing a majority of the Class B common stock vote to convert the Class B common stock into Class A common stock, (ii) if the Founder Group and its permitted transferees collectively no longer beneficially own at least 20% of the number of shares of Class B common stock collectively held by the Founder Group as of the Effective Time, or (iii) on the nine-month anniversary of the Founder’s death or disability, unless such date is extended by a majority of independent directors.

Subject to applicable rules and regulations, the shares may be purchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Such purchases will be at times and in amounts as the Company deems appropriate, based on factors such as market conditions, legal requirements and other business considerations. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has not repurchased any Class A common stock under the stock repurchase program. |

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION 2011 and 2021 Equity Incentive Plans The Company has two equity incentive plans: Old PLAYSTUDIOS' 2011 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock awards, and performance awards to employees, officers, non-employee directors and independent service providers of the Company. The 2021 Plan became effective immediately upon the Closing of the Business Combination and replaces the 2011 Plan and no additional awards will be available under the 2011 Plan. Each Old PLAYSTUDIOS stock option from the 2011 Plan that was outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and held by current employees or service providers, whether vested or unvested, was converted into an option to purchase approximately 0.233 shares of common stock (each such option, an “Exchanged Option”). Except as specifically provided in the Merger Agreement, following the Business Combination, each Exchanged Option continues to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Old PLAYSTUDIOS option immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. All equity awards activity was retroactively restated to reflect the Exchanged Options. The number of shares of common stock available under the 2021 Plan will increase annually on the first day of each calendar year, beginning with the calendar year ending December 31, 2022, with such annual increase equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the last business day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) an amount determined by the Company's Board of Directors. If any award (or any award under the 2011 Plan) is forfeited, cancelled, expires, terminates or otherwise lapses or is settled in cash, in whole or in part, without the delivery of Class A common stock or Class B common stock, then the shares (including both the Class A common stock and Class B common stock) covered by such forfeited, expired, terminated or lapsed award shall again be available as shares for grant under the 2021 Plan. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 15.5 million shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan. Stock-Based Compensation The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense that the Company recorded in income (loss) from operations for the periods shown: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Selling and marketing $ 162 $ 14 $ 481 $ 32 General and administrative 1,403 1,238 4,552 1,469 Research and development 1,576 777 4,975 1,428 Stock-based compensation expense $ 3,141 $ 2,029 $ 10,008 $ 2,929 Capitalized stock-based compensation $ 436 $ 111 $ 1,537 $ 320 Stock Options All of the options granted under the 2011 Plan have time-based vesting periods vesting over a period of three The following is a summary of stock option activity for time-based options for the six months ended June 30, 2022 (in thousands, except weighted-average exercise price and remaining term): No. of Weighted-Average Weighted-Average Aggregate Outstanding - December 31, 2021 14,749 $ 0.85 Granted — — Exercised (786) 0.94 Forfeited (136) 2.23 Expired (75) 2.29 Outstanding - June 30, 2022 13,752 0.82 5.9 $ 47,925 Unvested - June 30, 2022 2,453 0.86 7.0 8,634 Exercisable - June 30, 2022 11,299 0.82 5.6 39,291 As of June 30, 2022, there was approximately $4.0 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options to employees.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised under the provisions of the 2011 Plan during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, was $3.0 million and $16.1 million, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $3.3 million and $21.9 million, respectively.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE | NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Class A and Class B common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of each respective class of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Class A and Class B common stockholders by the weighted-average number of each respective class of common stock outstanding, including the potential dilutive securities. For the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, net income (loss) attributable to Class A and Class B common stockholders is adjusted to reflect the potential effect of dilutive securities. As result of the reverse recapitalization, the Company has retroactively adjusted the weighted average shares outstanding prior to the Business Combination to give effect to the Exchange Ratio used to determine the number of shares of common stock into which they were converted. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) attributable to Class A and Class B common stockholders per share (in thousands except per share data): Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Class A Class B Class A Class B Numerator Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders – basic $ 4,805 $ 698 $ (5,893) $ (1,142) Potential dilutive effect of stock options 22 (22) — — Potential dilutive effect of restricted stock units — — — — Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders – diluted $ 4,827 $ 676 $ (5,893) $ (1,142) Denominator Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding - basic 111,057 16,130 83,167 16,130 Potential dilutive effect of stock options 9,873 1,837 — — Potential dilutive effect of restricted stock units 7,300 — — — Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding - diluted 128,230 17,967 83,167 16,130 Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders per share Basic $ 0.04 $ 0.04 $ (0.07) $ (0.07) Diluted $ 0.04 $ 0.04 $ (0.07) $ (0.07) Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Class A Class B Class A Class B Numerator Net loss attributable to common stockholders – basic $ (17,201) $ (2,508) $ (932) $ (185) Potential dilutive effect of stock options — — — — Potential dilutive effect of restricted stock units — — — — Net loss attributable to common stockholders – diluted $ (17,201) $ (2,508) $ (932) $ (185) Denominator Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding - basic 110,635 16,130 81,121 16,130 Potential dilutive effect of stock options — — — — Potential dilutive effect of restricted stock units — — — — Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding - diluted 110,635 16,130 81,121 16,130 Net loss attributable to common stockholders per share Basic $ (0.16) $ (0.16) $ (0.01) $ (0.01) Diluted $ (0.16) $ (0.16) $ (0.01) $ (0.01) For the periods presented above, the net income (loss) per share amounts are the same for Class A and Class B common stock because the holders of each class are entitled to equal per share dividends or distributions in liquidation in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation. The undistributed earnings (losses) for each period are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A and Class B common stock as if the earnings (losses) for the period had been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings (losses) are allocated on a proportionate basis. The following equity awards outstanding have been excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock for the periods presented due to their anti-dilutive effect: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Stock options 133 15,696 13,752 15,696 RSUs — — 7,300 — Public Warrants 5,382 7,175 5,382 7,175 Private Warrants 3,822 3,821 3,822 3,821 Earnout Shares 15,000 15,000 15,000 15,000 24,337 41,692 45,256 41,692 |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 6 Months Ended |
Jun. 30, 2022 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain reclassifications in these financial statements have been made to comply with US GAAP applicable to public companies and SEC Regulation S-X. The significant accounting policies referenced in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2021 have been applied consistently in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position as of June 30, 2022, and its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. The Company made certain reclassifications to the comparative balances in the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform with current year presentation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the estimated consumption rate of virtual goods that is used in the determination of revenue recognition, useful lives of property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, the expensing and capitalization of research and development costs for internal-use software, assumptions used in accounting for income taxes, stock-based compensation and the evaluation of goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment. The Company believes the accounting estimates are appropriate and reasonably determined. Due to the inherent uncertainties in making these estimates, actual amounts could differ materially. |
Segments | Segments Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available, and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The CODM, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating performance and allocating resources. As such, the Company has one operating and reportable segment. |
Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation The Company has a stock-based compensation program which provides for equity awards including time-based stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period for the award. The Company records forfeitures as a reduction of stock-based compensation expense as those forfeitures occur. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to determine the fair value for option awards. In valuing our option awards, the Company makes assumptions about risk-free interest rates, dividend yields, volatility and weighted-average expected lives. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Risk-free interest rates are derived from United States Treasury securities as of the option award grant date. Expected dividend yield is based on our historical cash dividend payments, which have been zero to date. The expected volatility for shares of the Company's Class A common stock is estimated using our historical volatility. The weighted-average expected life of the option awards is estimated based on our historical exercise data. The Company's dual class structure was created upon the Domestication (as defined in Note 1— Background and Basis of Presentation ). The Class B common stock including Class B common stock underlying vested stock options, held by Mr. Andrew Pascal, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, or his affiliates (the "Founder Group") carry a super vote premium. As the Founder Group did not have control of Old PLAYSTUDIOS prior to the Business Combination, and Mr. Pascal is an employee of the Company, the incremental value resulting from the super vote premium is accounted for as incremental compensation costs. The Company utilized the market approach by observing other market participants with (i) dual class structures, (ii) super vote premiums for a single class and (iii) both classes trading on a national exchange. Based on the observed data, management selected a premium for the Class B common stock and the stock options held by members of the Founder Group. The Company uses the estimated fair value of equity and associated per-share value at the time of grant to determine the compensation cost to be recognized associated with RSUs granted. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The amended guidance is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The adoption of this guidance is expected to result in a significant portion of the Company’s operating leases, where the Company is the lessee, to be recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The guidance requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. This guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company intends to first present the application of this guidance in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2022 with an effective date of January 1, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current guidance with a current expected credit loss model (“CECL”) that incorporates a broader range of reasonable and supportable information including the forward-looking information. This guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that annual reporting period, with early adoption permitted. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes . The new guidance removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. It also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on January 1, 2022. The adoption resulted in the Company not utilizing the prior exception under ASC 740-270-30-28 to the general methodology of calculating interim income taxes for the period ended June 30, 2022, but did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. |
