Scopely Acquires Majority Stake in Loom Games, Developer of Pixel Flow
Scopely has acquired an undisclosed majority stake in Loom Games, the developer behind the mobile title Pixel Flow.
Founded last year in Istanbul by CEO Kübra Gündoğan and CTO Emre Çelik, Loom Games quickly launched its hybrid-casual puzzle game Pixel Flow, which has surpassed 10 million players worldwide within months of release.
The studio currently consists of approximately 20 employees and closed a seed funding round last year with investors including Arcadia Gaming Partners and e2vc.
Gündoğan stated:
“In our conversations with Scopely, their confidence in our hybrid-casual game-making was incredibly affirming. We are proud to be one of few gaming companies in Türkiye to achieve such an impressive outcome with this deal – a milestone that reflects not only our team’s dedication, but also the strength and global potential of the Turkish gaming ecosystem.”
She added:
“We’re excited about what we can accomplish with Scopely; this partnership marks the beginning of a new chapter for everything we aspire to create.”
Tim O’Brien, chief revenue officer and board member at Scopely, commented:
“Pixel Flow is only a few months into its journey, yet it’s already reached millions of players and climbed the top-grossing charts at remarkable speed.”
He continued:
“The combination of creativity, willingness to iterate, and immediate traction in the mobile game space is extremely rare and impressive, and we believe this team has a bright future ahead.”
O’Brien further noted:
“We are constantly exploring opportunities that could bring more world-class teams and game franchises into our operating system, and this investment signals our ongoing commitment to being a leading partner in the space. We look forward to welcoming the Pixel Flow team into the Scopely ecosystem and supporting their exciting roadmap ahead.”
Under the partnership, Loom Games will maintain its creative autonomy while benefiting from Scopely’s operating ecosystem and global scale.
