Scopely’s Remarkable Journey: $10 Billion in Revenue and 15 Billion Hours of Gameplay
In a significant announcement, Scopely revealed noteworthy achievements in 2024, hitting an impressive $10 billion in cumulative revenue from its mobile gaming portfolio along with over one billion downloads.
During an exclusive interview with GamesBeat, Scopely disclosed that players have dedicated more than 15 billion hours playing its games. Titles contributing to this milestone include fan favorites like Monopoly Go!, Stumble Guys, Marvel Strike Force, Star Trek Fleet Command, and Dice With Buddies.
As a long-time observer of Scopely’s growth since the release of these iconic titles, I have admired their strategic partnerships with game developers. Their innovative user acquisition strategies set them apart among various mobile gaming companies. However, success was not guaranteed; it took the incredible popularity of Monopoly Go!—six years in the making—and Savvy Games Group’s acquisition for $4.9 billion to solidify Scopely’s status as a leader in this competitive landscape.
A Leap from Modest Beginnings to Global Leadership
Eunice Lee, COO of Scopely, elaborated on the company’s rise during her recent participation at the GamesBeat Insider Series: Hollywood and Games event held on December 12. She highlighted how their unique “operating system” and “learning machine” contributed significantly to their triumphs over time.
The path to success was neither quick nor easy; it has been forged through more than thirteen years of dedication and resilience. In a reflective blog post about their accomplishments this year, co-CEOs Walter Driver and Javier Ferreira recognized the often-challenging journey behind those public triumphs: “While we celebrated several milestones recently, they were built on years filled with passion and effort. Embracing a long-term vision is essential for game development—involving many unseen struggles—but our ‘Scopeleans’ persevere through adversity.”
Established in Los Angeles back in 2011 with just ten employees, Scopely believed deeply that mobile devices would become central platforms for entertainment consumption. The company debuted its first major title “Dice With Buddies” shortly after its founding, marking the start of a new chapter.
This engaging social dice game quickly gained traction among users but truly flourished around 2014 when Scopely secured significant intellectual property agreements such as one with Hasbro for Yahtzee rights leading to expanded offerings like “Yahtzee With Buddies” launched in 2015.
A decade later today marks another milestone; Scopely’s Dice franchise still holds strong as its flagship series accumulating well beyond $1 billion lifetime revenue—a testament to the longevity achieved within such competitive markets.
Pioneering Cross-Platform Gaming Experiences
While rooted firmly within mobile entertainment arenas initially , breaking into cross-platform gaming remains integral part strategy—an objective successfully pursued by launching “Stumble Guys” across console platforms including Xbox , PlayStation ,and Nintendo Switch this year .
“We experienced numerous groundbreaking moments throughout this year driven by our teams sharing bold ideas aimed at enhancing player experiences,” noted Driver alongwith Ferreira .
This shift allows fans previously tethered solely onto specific devices engage freely amongst varied consoles thereby growing Stumblers’ global active audience exponentially .
“The advancements established via ‘Stumble Guys’, facilitate future innovations across other titles too,” stated both leaders emphasizing collaborative efforts expanding reach beyond traditional limits further pushing boundaries existing games’ accessibility & interaction potentials yet unfathomed until now .
