\n

\n\tMobile gaming giant Scopely has struck a definitive agreement to acquire a majority stake in Loom, the Istanbul-based development studio behind Pixel Flow!<\/em>, a mobile puzzle game<\/a> that launched in late 2025 and has already been played by more than 10 million people globally. <\/p>\n

\n\tFounded by CEO K\u00fcbra G\u00fcndo\u011fan and chief technology<\/a> officer Emre \u00c7elik last year, the company\u2019s game became the only casual game released in the last 12 months to break into the monthly top-20 grossing charts in the U.S., according to Scopely.<\/p>\n

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it is understood that the deal features a multi-year, performance-based structure that values the business in excess of $1 billion. The Pixel Flow!<\/em> team closed a seed financing round last year that included such investors as Arcadia Gaming Partners. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPixel Flow!<\/em> is only a few months into its journey, yet it\u2019s already reached millions of players and climbed the top-grossing charts at remarkable speed,\u201d said Tim O\u2019Brien, chief revenue officer and board member at Scopely. \u201cThe combination of creativity, willingness to iterate, and immedia<\/a>te traction in the mobile game space is extremely rare and impressive, and we believe this team has a bright future ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe concluded: \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Turkish studio team also touted the outlook post-deal. \u201cOur focus as a team has always been on developing games that deliver innovative and distinctive experiences, and as a result of this mindset, Pixel Flow!<\/em> was born,\u201d said G\u00fcndo\u011fan. \u201cTo us, the game represents an entirely new form of entertainment for players, and the positive reception has been extremely rewarding.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tShe added: \u201cIn our conversations with Scopely, their confidence in our hybrid-casual game-making was incredibly affirming. Scopely shares our passion for games and brings deep experience in developing and scaling products, all while caring about players. Their unique ecosystem will allow us to maintain our creative autonomy while also learning from each other and continuing to build games that can become a meaningful part of players\u2019 lives for the long term. \u2026 This partnership marks the beginning of a new chapter for everything we aspire to create.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe deal also expands Scopely\u2019s development capacity in Turkey, which it called \u201cone of the most vibrant games hubs in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region, known for world-class game talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tArcadia managing director Akin Babayigit emphasized: \u201cHaving invested in the company just months ago, to exit at a billion-dollar-plus valuation is a phenomenal result. It\u2019s been a privilege to have a front row seat to the team\u2019s rapid growth and success and see them become the latest Turkish startup to reach unicorn-level status.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe concluded: \u201cScopely has a proven ability to grow games into enduring global franchises, and this investment provides a great platform for the team to continue to build and grow while preserving the creativity that made the game stand out from the start.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
