Tripledot Studios is acquiring AppLovin’s mobile games studio portfolio for approximately $800 million, split evenly between cash and equity. This deal results in AppLovin becoming a minority shareholder in Tripledot Studios, allowing Tripledot to expand its presence in key markets, including the US and Asia. Post-acquisition, Tripledot Studios will operate 12 studios with over 2,500 team members across 23 cities globally, reaching over 25 million daily active users and generating nearly $2 billion in annual gross revenues.

Founded in London in 2017, Tripledot Studios develops and operates over 25 live games, including titles like Woodoku, Solitaire.com, Nut Sort, and Triple Tile, and has been profitable since its second year. The acquisition provides Tripledot Studios with scale, diversification, and access to global talent. Acquired studios and popular titles are located across North America, Europe, and Asia.

AppLovin's decision to sell its games business to Tripledot Studios reflects its focus on machine learning models rather than game development. AppLovin believes Tripledot's operational capabilities will help these studios thrive. The acquisition is expected to close by early summer 2025, pending regulatory approvals.
