Türkiye’s mobile gaming sector has witnessed remarkable growth, with a notable 6% increase in revenue, reaching a record $347 million in 2025. This surge marks the highest annual revenue the country has achieved to date. Over the past six years, revenues for Turkish developers skyrocketed by an impressive 450%, accumulating to an astounding $2.7 billion. Such growth not only signifies the burgeoning nature of the mobile market in Türkiye but also its potential as a key player on the global stage.
Market Share Expansion and Download Trends
As highlighted in AppMagic’s annual report, in collaboration with Gamigion, Türkiye’s share of the global mobile market grew from 1% to 5% during this period of revenue increase. However, there was a slight downturn in downloads, which fell by 4% year-on-year, totaling 1.8 billion. This dip reflects a prevailing trend where the focus has shifted from sheer volume to monetization and profitability within the mobile gaming industry. The data suggests that developers are increasingly prioritizing revenue generation from existing titles rather than solely concentrating on expanding their user base.
Developer Landscape and Leading Titles
The number of active developers in Türkiye surged by 18.6% in 2025, continuing a substantial growth trajectory that began in 2022, which saw an eye-popping increase of 105.5%. Among the plethora of Turkish development companies, Dream Games emerged as the leading entity, amassing a staggering $1.7 billion in revenue, followed by Peak Games at $619.7 million and Rollic at $207 million. Notably, Dream Games and Peak Games collectively contributed over 80% of the entire publisher revenue. Dream Games alone accounted for a remarkable 60% of this revenue, driven primarily by its successful titles, Royal Match and Royal Kingdom, which together have generated more than $5.2 billion in in-app purchases.
Puzzle games dominate Türkiye’s mobile revenue landscape, comprising approximately 97% of the market. The leading domestic titles include popular games such as PUBG Mobile, which generated $17.3 million, eFootball at $10.4 million, and Whiteout Survival with $10 million. These figures emphasize the popularity of puzzle and action-packed games among Turkish users, reflecting consumer preferences and gaming habits.
Investment Trends and Future Potential
Since 2009, Turkish developers have successfully raised a remarkable $3.6 billion in funding, a clear indication of the sector’s growth and investor confidence. In a groundbreaking achievement, Dream Games secured the largest investment in Turkish history in May 2025, amassing $2.5 billion in a funding round led by CVC Capital Partners. Excluding Dream Games, the total investments in 2025 reached $234 million, an astonishing 32-fold increase compared to 2020. This impressive growth included significant funds raised by companies like Good Job Games, which garnered $60 million, and Grand Games, which obtained $30 million in January and an additional $70 million in May 2026.
The rise of ancillary companies has not gone unnoticed, as Loom Games achieved a valuation exceeding $1 billion within just 12 months before being acquired by Scopely in February 2026. Noteworthy domestic investors include the Türkiye Development Fund, which has made 163 investments, along with multiple venture funds supporting various promising startups in the ecosystem.
With a vibrant community of developers, increasing revenues, and a shift towards monetization, Türkiye is poised to solidify its position as a powerhouse in the global mobile gaming market. The dynamics within this sector present an exciting landscape for both developers and investors looking for opportunities in the ever-evolving mobile gaming industry.
