UK mobile startup Playwind Games announced it has secured $4 million in a funding round led by global game developer and publisher Garena, creator behind mobile hit Free Fire. The funding is intended to support the Playwind Games' growth and expanding its staff as the studio is looking to develop a number of social-first games for the casual mobile market.
Playwind Games was founder in 2020 by former CEO and founder of Funky Panda Games Jack Tang. Previously, he also worked at EA and Playfish where he contributed to various social mobile games including Sims Social, Simcity Social, and Pet Society.
"Playwind Games was founded to bring happiness to players by letting them play and socialise together in exciting new worlds," Tang shared. "This investment will support our future growth as we hire the next generation of talent as part of our efforts to become one of the best casual and social game creators in the mobile market".
"We’re excited to work alongside Garena, who share our belief that mobile games are better when we play together", he added.
