About Like a Boss Games
Like a Boss Games was a Swedish mobile game developer founded in September 2015 in Stockholm. The studio focused on competitive, free-to-play sports games built around real-time multiplayer play. Its founding team brought experience from King, Electronic Arts and Stardoll, with an approach intended to connect sports fandom with accessible mobile game mechanics.
The company concentrated on developing its own games rather than providing work-for-hire services. Its capabilities included mobile game design and engineering, multiplayer networking, and the integration of licensed athletes and sports brands into gameplay.
Mobile sports development
The studio’s released title, Match MVP Neymar Jr., launched globally for iOS and Android on September 24, 2018. Developed in collaboration with Neymar Jr. and NR Sports, it combined a soccer career mode with competitive player-versus-player matches. Players guided a custom athlete through matches, with Neymar Jr. appearing as a mentor and Neymar Sr. taking an in-game agent role.
The game reflected the studio’s focus on individual player progression within multiplayer sports competition. Its athlete partnership formed part of the game itself, connecting the licensed personalities to the player’s career experience.
Venture capital and angel investment supported the company’s early development. Despite securing funding and releasing its licensed soccer game, the studio did not commercialize further titles. It subsequently ceased active operations, and its websites and game services became inactive.
