Over $5 Billion Invested into Mobile Gaming

Over $5B has been invested into mobile game studios since 2020 - and the market continues to shift. Here's a quick breakdown of the current landscape, based on data from InvestGame & GDEV:

➡️ Series A rounds are struggling: Fewer deals are happening as investors demand stronger data-backed growth. Median check sizes are up, but risk appetite is down.

➡️ Early-stage deals still hold steady: Pre-seed and Seed funding has remained stable, with median checks around $2.3M.

➡️ Casual studios outperform midcore: Casual studios attract more deals and investment. Turkish developers account for 27% of all VC capital in this segment since 2020.

➡️ Regional trends are clear: Europe and Asia dominate funding in the midcore space, with 66% of all investments.

➡️ M&A activity is on the rise: In the last 12 months alone, five deals totaled $7B - the highest since 2022. In H1’25, 98% of all gaming M&A volume came from mobile studios.

The mobile gaming investment landscape continues to evolve - with cautious VC behavior and a growing focus on strategic acquisitions.

How We Drove 11k+ Gamers to Riftstorm’s Steam Page

We recently ran a marketing campaign that delivered over 11,000 gamers to Riftstorm’s Steam page. It took one video. It cost us $113. That’s it.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • One meme-style Instagram video

  • 237,000+ views

  • $113 total spend

  • $0.01 cost-per-click

  • 11,000+ gamers sent directly to Riftstorm’s Steam page

We’ll keep applying this same approach to the other games we work with - whether it's launching something new or scaling something that’s already live.

At the end of the day, we’re not chasing views. We’re driving real players to real games. That’s what matters, and that’s what we’ll keep doing.

You can read more about our campaign on our website here.

Donkey Kong Bananza is a 3D platformer adventure game where players bash, throw, and climb through destructible environments in a vast underground world as Donkey Kong.

Killing Floor 3 is a brutal 6-player cooperative FPS where you battle waves of bioengineered monsters in a dystopian 2091 using customizable weapons and tactical gameplay.
