Saudi-based Steer Studios will make mobile game featuring Tom and Jerry with Warner license

Riyadh-based game studio Steer Studios, part of Savvy Games Group, announced plans to develop a new mobile game featuring Tom and Jerry, officially licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

It’s another sign of Saudi Arabia’s big investment in games. In just a few years, the country has committed to investing $37 billion in games through its Public Investment Fund and spun up Savvy Games Group, which acquired Scopely for $4.9 billion and Niantic for $3.5 billion. Now it is also growing smaller studios to create more jobs in Riyadh, the capital.
