Scopely

Scopely, Inc. is a global mobile and cross-platform games developer, publisher, and live-operations company founded in 2011. Headquartered in Culver City, California, the company develops, publishes, acquires, and operates free-to-play games built around long-term player communities and games-as-a-service models.

Its work spans mobile, PC, web, and console experiences, supported by Playgami™, Scopely’s proprietary technology platform for live operations, backend services, analytics, machine learning, and player personalization. The company’s approach combines game development with publishing, performance marketing, community engagement, and ongoing content delivery.

The company has expanded through partnerships and acquisitions, building a portfolio that includes strategy, role-playing, casual, social casino, and location-based games. Its internal and acquired teams contribute specialized expertise across creative development, live-service design, IP adaptation, user acquisition, monetization, and global publishing.

Global operations

Scopely operates development, technology, publishing, and regional hubs across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East. Barcelona is its European headquarters and largest development hub, while its Culver City headquarters supports executive leadership, corporate functions, and engineering leadership.

In July 2023, Savvy Games Group acquired Scopely while preserving the company’s operational autonomy. Scopely continues to operate as an active games business with a broad international footprint and a focus on building, publishing, and live-operating community-driven game experiences.
