Loom Games, founded just a year ago by Kübra Gündoğan and Emre Çelik, has seen its majority shares acquired by US-based gaming giant Scopely at a valuation exceeding $1 billion.
With this agreement, Loom Games has earned the title of Turkey’s newest "Turcorn." Global Success with Pixel Flow The studio’s game, "Pixel Flow," reached over 10 million players in a short time and managed to rank among the top 20 highest-grossing mobile games in the United States.
Scopely, the owner of popular titles such as Monopoly GO!, Pokémon GO, and Scrabble GO, has positioned Turkey as one of the most dynamic gaming hubs in the region with this move.
Tim O’Brien, Chief Revenue Officer at Scopely, emphasized that the momentum Pixel Flow achieved shortly after its launch is a rare occurrence, noting that the team has built a powerful experience.
