Mobile gaming studio Grand Games has secured $30 million in a Series A funding round, led by Balderton Capital. The round also saw participation from existing investors Bek Ventures, Laton Ventures, and angel investor Mert Gür.

The funding will support Grand Games’ continued global expansion and the launch of a new title scheduled for 2025. The studio also plans to grow its team, increasing its headcount from 14 to over 40 by the end of the year.

Suranga Chandratillake, general partner at Balderton Capital, praised the studio’s vision and progress: “Istanbul is producing some of the world’s finest gaming studios, and within that ecosystem, the founders of Grand Games have stood out with their ambition to create world-class, genre-defining casual games that players love. The speed with which they've built a brilliant team culture and found success with their first two titles speaks to their talent and dedication.”

Founded in January 2024 by Bekir Batuhan, Mustafa Fırtına, and Mehmet Çalım, Grand Games previously raised $3 million in a pre-seed round last July.
