Our new Opera GX browser hit 7 million MAUs in December, 2020, up 350% year over year, while YoYo Games' GameMaker engine achieved 400K new registered creators in 2020. GameMaker Studio2 is best-in-class game development software, and lowers the barrier to entry for anyone to start making their games and offer them across a wide range of web-supported platforms, from PCs, to, mobile iOS/Android devices, to consoles.'Īnnette De Freitas, Head of Business Development & Strategic Partnerships, Opera Gaming, added: 'Gaming is a growth area for Opera and the acquisition of YoYo Games reflects significant, sustained momentum across both of our businesses over the past year.

We're at the brink of a shift, when more and more people start not only playing, but also creating and publishing games. Tilting Point, meanwhile, released its Launcher to bring mobile games to PC, Mac and browser.Krystian Kolondra, EVP Browsers at Opera, said: 'With Opera GX, Opera had adapted its proven, innovative browser tech platform to dramatically expand its footprint in gaming. 'Building a mobile game and making it available on every mobile device via mobile web has just become super easy.'Īt the time of Miniclip's 21st anniversary, the company revealed plans to move away from its browser-based games to focus more on mobile offerings. 'We want game creators to be able to spend most of their time creating games, not figuring out the complex issues of compatibility,' said GX Games product director Joanna Czajka. This is also intended to deliver native-like performance on mobile. Now for mobile, creators that use GameMaker will be able to publish titles on the Opera GX browser, meaning games can be played via hyperlink instead of additional downloads.

Since the desktop version of GX.games launched in November of last year, the total number of GameMaker games has already surpassed 1,500. Currently available in beta, games will be added to the service following an upcoming mobile games jam. The new functionality in the GX.games platform is now active on both Android and iOS app versions. GameMaker engine creator YoYo Games has added a new feature to the platform together with web browser Opera, intending to enable developers to release mobile games free of charge.
