The money raised will be utilized to improve hiring practices, broaden market reach, and speed up product development. PlaySuper’s next-generation, highly customized in-game store will be available soon, enabling seamless integration without the need for updates.
Within six months, the Gurugran-based company also intends to enter Southeast Asia (SEA), MENA, and LATAM. In order to onboard more game studios, it will also increase the size of its B2B partnerships team and hire a Product Head.
