Scopely’s inclusion on the TIME100 list follows a transformative year for the brand, as the company cemented its position as the #1 mobile games company in the U.S., fueled by blockbuster launches, enduring long-term game experiences, world-class partnerships, and record-breaking acquisitions (the company was acquired for $4.9B in July 2023, marking one of the largest video game transactions in history). This latest accolade from TIME’s iconic franchise highlights the power of play and how Scopely’s titles bring together players from all demographics, backgrounds, and more to find joy and connection.
Among Scopely’s noteworthy successes this past year was the launch of “MONOPOLY GO!” in April 2023, which quickly achieved the biggest mobile game launch in history in the United States. Since then, this breakout game has become a true cultural phenomenon. In a mere ten months, the free-to-play title surpassed $2B in revenue and exceeded 150M downloads, with over 70% of its player base logging in daily to experience the thrilling adventures.

In addition to “MONOPOLY GO!,” the company creates award-winning live-operated experiences every day including “Stumble Guys,” “Star Trek™ Fleet Command,” “MARVEL Strike Force,” “WWE Champions,” “Scrabble® GO,” “Bingo Bash,” and “YAHTZEE® With Buddies,” among others. What unites all Scopely games is a commitment to cultivating highly social experiences that welcome deeply engaged player communities across generations and geographies.
