About FTX Games
FTX Games is a mobile game publisher and producer focused on adapting film and television properties into interactive entertainment. Its work brings together entertainment rights holders and development teams to create and operate games for established franchise audiences. The company specializes in free-to-play mobile publishing, production management and live-service operations, with a catalog spanning mobile, social and browser games.
The business began in Israel in 2006 as Funtactix. Its early work included web-based multiplayer experiences before it shifted toward games based on entertainment franchises in 2009–2010. Early releases included Rango: The World, Mission: Impossible - The Game and The Hunger Games Adventures, reflecting the company's growing focus on translating familiar fictional worlds into playable experiences.
Publishing and production
The FTX Games publishing brand emerged in 2014–2015, with releases including Power Rangers: UNITE and Real Boxing 2: CREED. Its later mobile portfolio includes Narcos: Cartel Wars, Criminal Minds: The Mobile Game, The Walking Dead: Casino Slots and Breaking Bad: Criminal Elements. The supplied research also identifies Star Trek: Legends among its credits and ongoing franchise management work.
FTX Games combines publishing responsibilities with coordination of development partners. Its capabilities cover game design, co-development management, production oversight, franchise partnerships, user acquisition, marketing and community management. Its operating approach centers on managing projects developed by teams around the world, alongside relationships with entertainment partners and continuing product operations.
Company development
Playtech acquired Funtactix in 2016, after which the business adopted the FTX Games name across its operations and consolidated its publishing headquarters in California. In July 2020, Tilting Point Media LLC acquired the company's assets, game catalog and publishing operations from Playtech. FTX Games continues as an active publishing label and operating studio unit within Tilting Point, maintaining its focus on entertainment franchises, production management and live operations.
