Today is the most exciting day in our eight years as a company, as we are looking forward to welcoming ten incredible studios from AppLovin’s Games Portfolio. Read the news directly from our CEO and Co-founder Lior Shiff below.
8 years ago, Eyal, Akin, and I set out to build Tripledot Studios with one bold ambition: to become the world’s most successful mobile games company. It’s been a journey full of ups and downs—but above all, it’s been incredibly fun, thanks to our extraordinary team, our supportive investors (thank you Velo Partners, Lightspeed, Access Industries and Eldridge), and our amazing partners. Today, we mark a transformative milestone in the Tripledot story. We’re about to welcome AppLovin's ten phenomenal game studios — and more than 2,000 talented team members—into the Tripledot family. Together, post closing, we’ll operate 12 studios across 23 cities, reach 25 million daily active users, and generate nearly $2 billion in gross annual revenue. This $800 million acquisition is more than a deal—it’s a leap forward. It elevates us from a high-performing challenger to a true global leader in mobile gaming. It supercharges our AI and data science capabilities, expands our portfolio across in-app purchase and ad-based models, and firmly places us among the top five independent mobile game studios in the world. To our new colleagues from Lion Studios, PeopleFun, Magic Tavern, Leyi, MZ, Belka Games, Athena Studio, Clipwire Games, Zenjoy Limited, and Zeroo Gravity Games LLC: We can’t wait to bring your expertise together with our passion and see how far we can go—together. A warm welcome also to Adam and the AppLovin team as our upcoming shareholders—we’re thrilled to be partnering with you soon. None of this would be possible without the tireless work of many people. I can’t name them all, but special thanks to: – Aleksander Janiszewski, our phenomenal GC – Samuel Hillard, our brilliant CFO – Zaur Bedoev, our amazing head of Corp Dev sleep is overdue - You're all rockstars. And thank you to our partners at The Raine Group (Alexander, Todd and John), Bank of America, and Latham & Watkins for your invaluable support. Here’s to the next chapter of growth. Let’s make it legendary. #TeamTripledot #GlobalScale #GameOn #WelcomeTeam
