Bigger Games raises $25M to grow its mobile gaming business

Turkish mobile games studio Bigger Games announced today that it has raised $25 million in its Series A funding round, which it will put towards growing its portfolio of games. Goodwater Capital led the round, with Arcadia Gaming Partners and existing investors Index Ventures and Play Ventures also participating. Coddy Johnson, former Activision president and current partner at Goodwater Capital, joins Bigger’s board of directors. The studio plans to use the funding to continue building its team and scaling its latest title, Kitchen Masters, for a global audience.

The Istanbul-based team launched in 2019 into the burgeoning Turkish gaming scene, and has specialized in casual puzzle games. Its most recent title, Kitchen Masters, is a match-3 title which Bigger reports shows strong early retention and engagement. With the Series A funding, Bigger plans to launch Kitchen Masters to other markets, including the U.S., alongside further refining the gameplay.
