In 2025, Türkiye's mobile revenue reached $347 million, marking a 6% yearly increase and the highest figure on record. Over six years, revenue from Turkish developers experienced a significant leap of 450%, amounting to $2.7 billion.

AppMagic's yearly report on Türkiye's mobile industry, in collaboration with Gamigion, reveals the country's global market contribution grew from 1% to 5%, paralleling the revenue rise.

While there was a 4% drop in downloads to 1.8 billion, AppMagic attributes this to a shift towards monetizing the mobile market rather than focusing on sheer volume.

There was an 18.6% increase in active developers in 2025, following a notable surge in 2022, which saw a 105.5% annual increase.

Leading the Turkish developer scene, Dream Games earned $1.7 billion in 2025, topping the charts. It was closely followed by Peak Games with $619.7 million and Rollic at $207 million.

Dream Games and Peak Games collectively contributed over 80% to publisher revenues, with Dream Games alone responsible for 60%, thanks to its popular games, Royal Match and Royal Kingdom, amassing over $5.2 billion from in-app purchases.

Puzzle games accounted for around 97% of the mobile revenue in Türkiye. Among domestic titles, PUBG Mobile ($17.3 million), eFootball ($10.4 million), and Whiteout Survival ($10 million) led in earnings.

Since 2009, Turkish game developers have attracted $3.6 billion in investments.

In May, Dream Games made headlines by securing a record-setting $2.5 billion investment, spearheaded by CVC Capital Partners.

Excluding Dream Games, investments in the sector for 2025 were $234 million, a remarkable 32-fold increase compared to 2020.

Noteworthy investments included Good Job Games, which secured $60 million, and Grand Games, raising $30 million in January and another $70 million by May 2026.

Loom Games was valued at over $1 billion within less than a year before being acquired by Scopely in February 2026.

Key domestic investors include the Türkiye Development Fund with 163 investments, Boğaziçi Ventures with 74, WePlay Ventures at 24, Ludas Ventures at 23, backing companies like Spyke and Alpaka, and Laton Ventures, a major investor in Grand Games.
