Türkiye’s mobile gaming sector continued to grow, driven by rising revenue in the global market and the valuations achieved by its companies. In-game purchase revenue generated worldwide by Turkish developers rose from $504 million in 2020 to more than $2.76 billion in 2025.
Revenue increased by approximately 450 percent over six years, while annual average growth reached 42 percent. Turkish developers’ share of global mobile in-game purchase revenue also rose from 1 percent to 5 percent.
Three of the eight Turcorns are gaming companies
Peak Games, Dream Games and Loom Games account for three of Türkiye’s eight Turcorn companies. This means that three gaming companies have joined the ranks of technology companies valued at $1 billion or more.
Dream Games’ Royal Match and Royal Kingdom have generated more than $5.2 billion in combined in-game purchase revenue since their release. Revenue from Peak Games’ Toy Blast and Toon Blast surpassed $3.4 billion in April, while Match Factory’s revenue exceeded $432 million.
Founded in 2025, Loom Games surpassed a valuation of $1 billion in less than a year. The company’s game Pixel Flow generated more than $77 million in in-game purchase revenue.
43 companies are Turcorn candidates
The list of companies with the potential to become Turcorns includes 43 candidates. Ace Academy, Good Job Games, Hypermonk Games, Loop Games, Mega Fortuna, Motion Blur and UDO Games stood out as the seven gaming companies on the list.
Türkiye’s mobile gaming market performed more strongly in 2025 than the global market, which grew by 3 percent. Mobile gaming revenue in Türkiye rose by 6 percent to $347 million, reaching its highest level.
Despite the increase in revenue, the number of mobile game downloads fell by 4 percent to 1.8 billion. Puzzle games accounted for 96.9 percent of Turkish developers’ revenue, while strategy games’ share remained at 0.9 percent.
Dream Games leads in revenue and investment
Dream Games ranked first among Turkish gaming companies in 2025, with $1.7 billion in in-game purchase revenue. It was followed by Peak Games with $619.7 million and Rollic Games with $207 million.
The number of Turkish developers increased 3.1-fold compared with 2020. Total investment received by mobile game developers since 2009 reached $3.6 billion.
Dream Games’ $2.5 billion investment deal in 2025 set a sector record. The amount exceeded the combined investment received by other Turkish mobile game developers since 2009.
Companies in the sector announced an average of 24 investment rounds per year. Even excluding Dream Games, investment in the sector reached $234.03 million in 2025, 32 times the 2020 level.
