DoubleU Games, developer of social casino games, has announced an agreement to acquire Paxie Games, the Turkish studio behind Merge Studio: Fashion Makeover. The deal will see DoubleU Games acquire a 60% stake in Paxie Games for $27m at closing, with the remaining 40% to be purchased over the next three years, contingent on meeting certain financial targets, ensuring full ownership by the end of the third year. The acquisition will be financed through a mix of treasury shares and cash, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025.

This acquisition marks DoubleU Games’ strategic entry into the rapidly expanding Merge-2 genre. Paxie Games has garnered significant attention, achieving substantial downloads and revenue, and consistently ranking in the Top 5 within the genre, according to Sensortower data. Additionally, the acquisition will enable DoubleU Games’ popular titles to be played in Korea for the first time, a significant milestone for the company, which currently generates 100% of its revenue from international markets.
