The infusion of new funds and partners ensures that Gameye can accelerate growth and development on the world’s most advanced scaling solution for multiplayer games.  

Gameye is one of the technology leaders for Global Multiplayer Scaling. Dutch-based multiplayer gaming specialist aggregates the world’s best infrastructure and makes that computing power available to game developers through it’s easy to use API and proprietary server management services. By taking an on-demand approach to server management, the firm can provide flexible resilient computing power that solves capacity management and lowers latency for game sessions.

Our team is thrilled we were able to convince new investors like Lakestar of Gameye’s mission and that previous investors renewed their trust in Gameye. By partnering with Lakestar and Volta Ventures we have added more world class investors to our team, which enables us to cement Gameye as the technology leader in flexible scalable multiplayer computing power.

After the overwhelmingly positive reactions to our first online Industry Insights event in May, we were really eager to host a second edition. We are beyond excited that after Tencent Cloud and several game studios participating last time, we could get Microsoft, Paladin Studios and Photon Engine as speakers for the second edition. By continuing with this series of free events, Gameye continues to create unique contact moments and an educational environment for industry members.

Now Gameye announces that they recently closed an investment round of $2.4 million USD led by Lakestar and including Volta Ventures. This is their second successful investment round following the completion of their Seed Round of $1.6 million USD in 2019. After recently signing several games that make use of the Gameye API and that will be released later this year, the future for the globally-focused Gameye team looks bright. Significant partners like Microsoft, Tencent Cloud, or Scandinavian Powerhouse EG7 already recognized Gameye’s potential a while back and despite the difficult business environment in 2020, the company has managed to get more and more traction. 

Gameye keeps innovating in other areas as well. They will host their second digital Industry Insights Conference, with speakers from Microsoft, Paladin Studios, and Photon Engine. After a very successful first edition, the second edition follows the same formula, offering free online sessions talking about key industry issues, led by high profile speakers.
