About
Dream Games is an Istanbul-based mobile gaming studio founded in 2019 by five industry veterans from Peak Games and Zynga — Soner Aydemir, Ikbal Namli, Eren Shea, Hasan Yilmaz, and Serdar Yilmaz — who decided to bet the studio's entire future on shipping a single, highly polished casual puzzle title rather than the portfolio approach favored by most publishers. That title, Royal Match, launched in 2021 and became one of the highest-grossing mobile games in the world, reportedly generating in the billions of dollars in annual in-app revenue and holding steady top-5 grossing positions on both iOS and Android across multiple major markets. The studio raised over USD 450 million from Index Ventures, Makers Fund, Balderton, and others at valuations above USD 2.75 billion, making it one of the most valuable private gaming companies in Europe. Dream Games is the clearest contemporary example of Turkish mobile-gaming craft scaling into a global consumer business while staying headquartered in Istanbul.
