We Asked Investors: Why Türkiye?

The answer was surprisingly consistent: top-tier talent, deep mobile gaming expertise, strong government support, and a growing list of success stories. What was once an early-stage hotspot is quickly becoming a full-scale gaming hub.

The numbers speak for themselves:

🚀 Turkish developers' IAP revenue grew 450% in just 6 years, reaching $2.76B in 2025 — and still managed to grow 3% YoY despite broader market stagnation.

📈 The number of Turkish game developers increased 3.1x since 2020.

💰 Market leaders continue to scale. Dream Games generated $1.7B in 2025 (+15% YoY), Peak Games reached $620M (+18%), and Rollic Games hit $207M (+138%).

🤯 A new generation is rising even faster. Grand Games grew 1932% YoY, Good Job Games 7585%, Paxie Games 113%, and Panteon 95%.

🎮 Rollic remains the download king with 172M downloads in 2025 (+39% YoY), while its game concepts continue to inspire copycats worldwide.

To top all that, in the first 5 months of 2026, 71% of all startup investment in Türkiye went to gaming ventures!
