Pune: SuperGaming, a game development studio, has successfully raised $15 million in Series B funding, pushing its valuation to $100 million. The round was led by Skycatcher and Steadview Capital, with participation from marquee global investors including a16z Speedrun, Bandai Namco 021 Fund, Neowiz, and Web3 pioneers like Polygon Ventures.
This funding round—oversubscribed and backed by returning supporters such as AET Japan and BACE Capital—underscores the growing market confidence in SuperGaming’s ability to lead India’s transformation from a gaming consumer hub to a global game development powerhouse.
“Our investment in SuperGaming pairs Bandai Namco’s global IP expertise with the team’s deep understanding of India’s gaming ecosystem, opening the door to growth in India and beyond. We also view SuperPlatform, an infrastructure that accelerates the creation of large scale, community-driven multiplayer games, as an additional strength that enriches the experiences SuperGaming already brings to players.” said Natsuhiro Maruyama, Investor at Bandai Namco 021 Fund.
“In a market crowded with demos and pitch decks, SuperGaming has done what few others can, they have shipped. Launching a game, especially one as ambitious as Indus, is no small feat. It shows execution, resilience, and deep player understanding in a hyperlocal market like India. We’re backing SuperGaming not just for what they’re building, but because they’re already delivering and that’s what makes all the difference.” said Ed Fries, General Partner at 1UpFund, Co-Creator Microsoft Game Studios and Co-Founder Xbox.
The funds will power SuperGaming’s flagship title Indus Battle Royale as it expands globally—starting with Latin America through a strategic partnership with LOUD.GG. The company will also deepen investment in top-tier talent, original IPs, and strategic publishing initiatives.
SuperPlatform, SuperGaming’s proprietary cloud-based infrastructure developed with Google Cloud, remains the core focus of this investment. The SaaS solution empowers developers in emerging markets with AI-assisted game development tools, monetization systems, and backend infrastructure needed for building real-time multiplayer games—especially for low-end devices.
“We led SuperGaming’s Series A round in 2021 and are now leaning into our original thesis with a recent financing round. Our thesis is straight forward, India is the fastest growing gaming market globally and from that will emerge the next global giants in gaming. Our first round was about scaling development capabilities and this round is now about scaling global and unique hyper local publishing approaches. I’m excited about the multiple product launches the team has planned for Latin America and Middle East this year.” said Sia Kamalie, Founder & Fund Manager, Skycatcher.
Web3 continues to be a strong pillar of SuperGaming’s strategy. With successful experiments like Tower Conquest: Metaverse Edition (TC:ME) on Polygon, and the launch of its own Layer 3 Superchain via a partnership with B3 GameChain, SuperGaming is combining traditional gameplay with asset ownership and interoperable progression for millions of players.
“I’ve always dreamed of seeing a world-class gaming studio emerge from India, and if anyone can make that a reality, I believe it’s SuperGaming. Their momentum speaks volumes about the team’s passion and drive. But what excites me is how they understand the stakes: in gaming, the experience is the product, and the global bar for quality is incredibly high. I’m thrilled to be part of this journey and can’t wait to see them take their Battle Royale game Indus to the world.” said Sandeep Nailwal, Co-Founder, Polygon Ventures.
Roby John, CEO and Co-Founder of SuperGaming, concluded, “We are at an inflection point where India’s role in gaming evolves from a consumer market to a driving force in innovation, and this investment fuels that transition. ‘Indus Battle Royale’ is just our beginning. It is a showcase of quality and scale that we can achieve. But our deeper mission is to empower the gaming ecosystem through SuperPlatform. We’re providing developers worldwide with the tech backbone to bring their most ambitious visions to life, including seamless integration of Web3.”
