August 6, 2025, 9:37 pm
SuperGaming, a leading Indian game development studio, recently concluded a significant Series B funding round. The company secured $15 million. This investment elevates its valuation to an impressive $100 million. This marks a nearly fivefold increase from its $21 million Series A valuation in October 2021. The fresh capital accelerates SuperGaming’s ambitious global expansion. It strengthens its flagship title, Indus Battle Royale. It also significantly advances its proprietary SuperPlatform technology.
The funding round attracted diverse, strong participation. Existing investors Skycatcher and Steadview Capital spearheaded the investment. Global strategic investors also joined the effort. These included a16z Speedrun, Bandai Namco 021 Fund, GFR Fund, and IVC Japan. Neowiz from Korea and Brazilian esports giant LOUD.GG were key contributors. Barings also participated. The round was heavily oversubscribed, demonstrating strong investor confidence. Web3-focused firms showed particular interest. Polygon Ventures, Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal, Decentralised.co, Fourth Revolution Capital (4RC), 32-Bit Ventures, King River Capital, Ryze Labs, Ed3n Ventures, Gabby Dizon, Santiago R Santos, and Visceral Capital were all involved. Returning backers SkyCatcher, AET Japan, and BAce Capital reaffirmed their long-term commitment.
Indus Battle Royale stands as SuperGaming’s premier game. It earned Google Play’s prestigious 2024 ‘Best Made in India’ award. The title has already garnered over 9 million downloads. SuperGaming now targets an international launch for Indus. Latin America is the initial focus. This expansion leverages a strategic partnership with LOUD.GG, a prominent Brazilian esports organization. SuperGaming employs a "hyper-local" strategy for global markets. This approach tailors games to reflect under-represented cultures. It seeks to create deeper engagement. The company forecasts substantial revenue gains from these international ventures. Monetization rates are expected to be three to five times higher in markets like Brazil or Europe than in India.
A core component of SuperGaming’s future is SuperPlatform. This cloud-based, proprietary tech stack is crucial for live service multiplayer games. Developed in collaboration with Google Cloud, it provides comprehensive backend infrastructure. It features AI-assisted tools for game development, robust analytics, seamless social integration, and effective monetization solutions. SuperPlatform specifically addresses challenges faced by developers in emerging markets. Many lack the resources to build complex backend infrastructure in-house. Its design prioritizes accessibility, ensuring compatibility with low-end devices. This empowers a broader spectrum of developers worldwide. SuperPlatform will now be offered globally, extending its advanced capabilities beyond SuperGaming's own internal projects. This move democratizes access to high-quality game development tools.
SuperGaming is deeply invested in the evolving Web3 gaming ecosystem. Its early experiments included Tower Conquest: Metaverse Edition, launched on Polygon. The company is now building its own gaming-focused Layer-3 blockchain. This ambitious project partners with B3 GameChain. B3 GameChain is itself a Layer-3 solution built on Base, an Ethereum Layer-2 network incubated by Coinbase. This blockchain integration introduces key features for players. It ensures asset continuity, allowing digital items to persist across different games. It also enables true digital ownership, giving players verifiable control over in-game assets. Silly Royale, one of SuperGaming’s popular titles, already utilizes this new Layer-3 chain. This strategic push supports both traditional Web2 players and those embracing the Web3 paradigm, offering a versatile and future-proof gaming experience.
Established in 2017, SuperGaming has built an impressive portfolio. Beyond Indus, its successful titles include MaskGun, Battle Stars, and Silly Royale. Collectively, these games have amassed over 200 million cumulative installs. The company operates from its headquarters in Pune, India, with an additional office in Singapore. SuperGaming currently employs more than 120 team members. Future plans include aggressive hiring across critical engineering and publishing roles, supporting its expansion initiatives.
The investment arrives during a pivotal moment for the Indian gaming industry. There is a renewed investor interest, particularly in studios creating original intellectual property. This marks a shift from a historical focus on casual or real-money gaming. The Indian gaming market is poised for explosive growth. Projections indicate it will reach $9.2 billion in annual revenue by FY29. This growth is primarily fueled by increasing in-app purchases and advertising revenue. SuperGaming's strategy aligns perfectly with these market dynamics. Its dedication to innovative game design and robust technological infrastructure positions it as a leader in this burgeoning sector. The company’s financial health further underscores its potential; for the fiscal year ending March 2024, it reported a revenue of Rs 43.4 crore and a net profit of Rs 3.9 crore.
SuperGaming stands at an inflection point. The substantial capital injection propels its global ambitions forward. It aims to empower game developers worldwide. It provides cutting-edge technology and robust infrastructure. SuperGaming envisions a future where diverse, high-quality gaming experiences are accessible to a massive global audience. This funding round firmly establishes SuperGaming as a formidable force in the international gaming arena, poised for sustained growth and innovation.
