SayGames announces $30 million investment in hybrid-casual game studios

SayGames, a prominent publisher in the hybrid-casual mobile gaming sector, has unveiled plans to invest up to $30 million over the next three years to support innovative studios worldwide. This investment initiative is set to provide financial backing, industry expertise, and a suite of resources to help developers create top-tier hybrid-casual games. Having already allocated $10 million to five studios, SayGames is expanding its network and looking to partner with additional studios specializing in this growing genre of mobile gaming.

The strategic investment is rooted in SayGames’ commitment to fostering long-term relationships with developers and promoting growth within the rapidly evolving mobile gaming landscape. Notably, SayGames’ partnership with Redux.Games and their hit title My Perfect Hotel—which has surpassed $100 million in revenue since its 2022 launch—serves as a powerful example of the impact its support can have on a game’s success. This milestone highlights SayGames’ ability to turn ideas into globally successful projects through a combination of funding and strategic guidance.

SayGames is not just offering financial support; the publisher is also providing studios with a comprehensive suite of services. These include publishing and marketing assistance, advanced analytics tools, and in-house HR, recruitment, and legal guidance. By combining these resources with its deep industry insights, SayGames helps studios navigate the complexities of game development and ensure long-term success in the competitive mobile gaming market.

“Our vision is to create an ecosystem where studios can thrive and push the boundaries of hybrid-casual gaming,” said Yegor Vaikhanski, CEO of SayGames. “This investment program is an invitation to studios with bold ideas. Beyond resources, we aim to share our knowledge, insights, and tools to help our partners realize their full potential.” This holistic approach has already proven effective, and with plans for further investments, SayGames is excited to bring more studios into its growing network.
