Grand Games raises $3M for multiple mobile game launches

Grand Games announced today that it has raised $3 million in pre-seed funding, which it plans to put towards development of its mobile titles. It has already soft-launched the first of these games, with another to follow this month and plans for another in early 2025. Earlybird Digital East Fund led the funding round, with Laton Ventures participating. The company plans to use the investment to build its team and further develop each title.

Grand’s first title is Magic Sort!, a color-matching puzzle game currently in soft-launch in the U.S. on iOS and Android. It plans to launch its second title, Car Match, sometime this month, with plans to work on its flagship title (which will focus on social interactions) for a launch next year. Grand uses AI for up to 30% of each game’s codebase, along with using platforms like Midjourney to generate its artwork. According to its founders, Grand plans to use such tools to iterate on its games faster, shortening the feedback loop with players.
