There are few details.
And, for example, there is no information about the size of the attachment. However, as Playrix states, AppQuantum fully reserves its independence.
The press release states that:
- the cooperation of the companies involves the exchange of knowledge in the field of marketing, production and analytics of mobile games;
- AppQuantum will be able to transfer this knowledge to partner studios whose games it publishes.
Cooperation between the companies began last year. The first significant results were achieved in December.
“Having received money from Playrix in early December, AppQuantum showed tremendous growth in just a month for one of the games that had been in active marketing for six months since June 2021. According to Sensor Tower, from November to December 2021, revenue growth was 92.5% — from $1.8 million to $3.4 million, excluding the main advertising monetization,” said Evgeny Maurus, founder of AppQuantum.
It is not officially reported which project we are talking about, but most likely about Gold and Goblins: Idle Merge.
