Yotta is committed to building an inclusive environment where creative professionals from a multitude of diverse cultural backgrounds collaborate to inspire audiences and each other.

About The Company

In Sept. 2012, a team of players with dreams of making world-class games decided to embark on a new adventure so they founded Yotta Games to make games they loved playing.

At Yotta, we are all players who are inspired by the games we have loved in the past and the teammates we play alongside today. We make every one of our games for ourselves as much as for the +250 million players around the world who love what we make. All +1700 Yotta team members at all of our offices have joined us because they want to bring their creativity, artistry, and business acumen to making games that players love to play. And now, with over a decade of success under our belts, we have the resources to fuel ever more innovative projects to capture not only audiences’ hearts, minds, and attention, but our own.

Today, even though Yotta has +1700 employees around the world, boasts a fanbase +250 million strong, and was ranked 47th on the list of the world’s top app publishers in 2022, our vision is still the same as it was when we were founded back in 2012: to achieve international recognition as a world-class studio making world-class games. Over the past 10 years, we are making that vision real every day. Yotta has launched a succession of creative, innovative games whose success fueled a fantastic expansion and we have creative talent that drove us to even greater heights. We have been blessed with great fans and great success, but our goal can never be really completed. To keep making the games we want to play, we have to continuously innovate and imagine and forge ahead in new directions, building new worlds and telling new stories that will also be loved by new players. Our mission requires us to keep an eye on the future even as we look to the present, searching for a unique blend of inspiration, creativity, daring, and discernment wrapped up in hungry, visionary talent who love games as much as we do and who passionately strive to entertain the world.
