Instant gaming platform for casual, social play across devices
SOFTGAMES develops cross-device casual games distributed through Meta, Microsoft, and Samsung platforms. The tech stack reveals a dual-engine approach (Unity + Unreal) with heavy data infrastructure (Databricks, Spark, Airflow, Tableau, Looker) — uncommon depth for a game studio, suggesting a live-operations and retention-driven business model. Hiring skews toward senior design and product roles while scaling data pipelines, which maps directly to their stated challenges around player retention, in-game economy balance, and profitability targets in their live portfolio.
SOFTGAMES is a Berlin-based game studio founded in 2006 and structured as a remote-first organization of over 135 people. The company specializes in instant games (HTML5, JavaScript, TypeScript) playable on messaging platforms and web without installation. Their business spans multiple live titles with ongoing monetization, progression systems, and event ecosystems, supported by a data platform built on Spark and Airflow. The company distributes through ecosystem partnerships rather than owned storefronts, positioning them in the HTML5 and messenger-games segment of casual gaming.
