$TCEHY is in exclusive negotiations to acquire SuperPlay from Playtika in a deal valued between
$1 billion and
$1.5 billion.
SuperPlay is an Israeli mobile game developer owned by Playtika, known for titles like Dice Dreams and the hit Disney Solitaire, which generated approximately
$300 million in annual revenue. Playtika originally acquired SuperPlay in November 2024 for
$690 million in cash, plus an earnout of up to
$1.25 billion tied to performance through 2027.
The proposed sale aims to relieve Playtika of ballooning earnout liabilities, which exceeded
$829 million by Q1 2026 due to SuperPlay’s rapid growth. The transaction would transfer the studio and its future payment obligations to Tencent, potentially improving Playtika’s balance sheet as it faces
$2.3 billion in debt maturities in 2028–2029.
