Peak

Peak is an Istanbul-based mobile game developer and publisher focused on casual puzzle games for audiences worldwide. Founded in 2010 and widely known as Peak Games, the studio creates its own consumer titles for iOS and Android. Its work brings together game development, art, animation, product design and ongoing live operations, with a portfolio spanning tap-and-blast puzzles, bubble shooters and 3D matching games.

The company's early work concentrated on social, card and board games tailored to players in Turkey and emerging markets across the Middle East and North Africa. Titles such as Okey Plus, Spades Plus and Gin Rummy Plus formed an important part of that early business. Peak also developed casual puzzle games, including Lost Bubble, as its portfolio evolved toward mobile play.

A focus on casual puzzles

Toy Blast, released in 2015, became a major title in Peak's puzzle portfolio and surpassed 200 million downloads. The studio followed it with Toon Blast in 2017, building on tap-and-blast matching mechanics and reaching top-grossing charts in the United States and other markets. In 2023, Match Factory! extended the portfolio into 3D matching puzzles.

Peak's capabilities support both the creation and continuing operation of its games. Alongside engineering and visual production, its work includes game economy design, user acquisition, scalable cloud backend infrastructure, live updates and player support. Its publishing model centers on proprietary games rather than third-party production services.

Company development

In November 2017, Peak sold its card game division to Zynga for $100 million, concentrating its remaining business on casual puzzles. Zynga acquired the remainder of Peak for $1.8 billion in 2020. Peak continues to operate as an autonomous gaming studio within Zynga, which became part of Take-Two Interactive in May 2022. Its development operation remains centered in Istanbul, where its engineering, product and art teams work together.
