About Tripledot Games

Tripledot Games develops and publishes free-to-play mobile games, focusing primarily on the puzzle and casual genres.

In 2025, Tripledot bought AppLovin's mobile games business for $400m in cash and an equity stake representing approximately 20% of Tripledot, making AppLovin a significant minority shareholder in the company. The transaction added ten studios including Lion Studios, PeopleFun, Magic Tavern, Machine Zone and Belka Games, significantly broadening Tripledot’s portfolio beyond its original casual and puzzle titles.

Tripledot continued its acquisition-led expansion in August 2026, acquiring mobile games publisher Supersonic from Unity for $40m. Supersonic’s portfolio includes titles such as Bridge Race, Going Balls and Build A Queen, and has generated more than 6.2bn lifetime downloads.
