FRVR

FRVR is a game developer, publisher and instant gaming platform focused on bringing games to players across browsers, messaging services, social platforms and embedded device channels. Its business combines original game development, publishing for external developers, distribution technology and AI-assisted creation tools. The company uses lightweight HTML5 games to reach audiences through channels beyond traditional mobile app stores.

Founded in 2014, FRVR began with the release of Solitaire FRVR, followed by Hex FRVR in 2015. Its catalogue spans casual puzzles, sports games, multiplayer experiences and browser-based first-person shooters. Alongside developing its own titles, the company helps partner developers distribute games across open web environments and closed platform ecosystems, adapting delivery and monetization to the channels where people already spend time.

Development, publishing and distribution

FRVR's work covers game design and engineering, third-party publishing, platform integration, ad mediation and in-game economies. Its distribution relationships include Facebook Instant Games, Samsung Game Launcher, Discord Activities, Snapchat, TikTok, Xiaomi, Huawei and YouTube Playables. According to its published company figures, FRVR has developed more than 100 internal titles and onboarded more than 500 partner games, with over 7 billion game plays and an aggregate audience exceeding 2 billion lifetime players.

In May 2022, FRVR acquired Krunker.io, the free-to-play browser shooter originally created by Yendis Entertainment, and brought its development team onboard. The portfolio subsequently expanded through projects including Krunker Strike FRVR, complementing the company's established casual games business.

AI-assisted game creation

FRVR also develops Upit, a game creation platform built around generative AI tools that allow creators to build and publish games without coding. Previously developed under the Forge name, this technology extends the company's activities into creator tooling and user-generated content.

FRVR is privately held and venture capital backed. Its legal headquarters is in Malta, while its principal operational and engineering centre is in Lisbon, supported by European hubs in London and Copenhagen.
