Impact46 has announced a strategic investment of over $6.7 million in five gaming studios, marking another significant step in its mission to accelerate the growth of the gaming industry in Saudi Arabia and across the broader MENA region. This move reinforces Impact46’s position as a leading backer of creative talent and innovative technologies in one of the world’s fastest-growing entertainment sectors.
The funded studios include:
- Fahy Studios – a Riyadh-based specialist in mobile game development.
- NJD Games – another Riyadh-based developer focused on mobile games.
- Game Cooks – an international studio creating mobile and VR titles from Beirut and San Francisco.
- Starvania Studio – a Riyadh-headquartered game development company.
- Alpaka Games – a Turkey-based studio specializing in mobile game production.
The investment comes from the Impact46 Gaming Fund, valued at $40 million and launched during LEAP 2024 with the goal of backing high-potential gaming ventures. The fund is designed to provide studios not just with capital, but also access to strategic resources, mentorship, and networks that can accelerate global market entry.
Earlier in 2025, Impact46 also invested in Spoilz Games and Spekter Games through the same fund. Together, these investments reflect a long-term vision to cultivate a competitive, export-ready gaming ecosystem aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals—diversifying the economy, creating new jobs, and positioning the Kingdom as a global gaming powerhouse.
