SOFTGAMES

What began in a parent's garage in October 2006 has blossomed into a global force in the instant gaming world. Founded by brothers Andre and Alexander Krug, SOFTGAMES embarked on its journey by creating J2ME games for major German TV stations. The early days were marked by humble beginnings, hiring their first interns and moving into their first small office in 2007. As the digital landscape evolved, so did SOFTGAMES. A pivotal moment arrived in 2010 when the company astutely pivoted towards developing freemium web browser games in XHTML, anticipating the seismic shift the smartphone era would bring. This foresight positioned them as trailblazers in the burgeoning field of HTML5 gaming.

The company's dedication to HTML5 became exclusive in 2012, a strategic decision that would soon pay massive dividends. By 2016, their expertise was recognized on a global scale when they were chosen as one of the exclusive launch partners for Facebook's Instant Games. This collaboration was a watershed moment, catapulting their game 'Cookie Crush' from zero to three million users in a single week and establishing it as a top-performing Match-3 Instant Game. The success story continued with blockbuster titles like 'Bubble Shooter Pro,' which became the largest game on Facebook Instant Games. In 2021, SOFTGAMES made the strategic move to sell its web business to Azerion, sharpening its focus purely on the dynamic and rapidly growing instant games market. Now a remote-first company with a diverse team spread across the globe, SOFTGAMES continues to craft hypersocial games, partnering with giants like Facebook and Samsung to bring joyful, instant gaming experiences to billions of players worldwide.
