Indian gaming group Nazara Technologies has reported its highest quarterly revenue on record, highlighting the growing commercial importance of mobile gaming within its expanding portfolio. Revenue for the three months ending September 2026 reached approximately $84.3 million, representing a 53 percent increase compared with the same period last year. The company's gaming division generated approximately $68.9 million, accounting for 82 percent of total revenue.
Mobile games were the strongest contributor, with revenue increasing 167 percent to approximately $57.8 million. The company also returned to profitability, recording a quarterly profit of approximately $3.7 million compared with a loss of $3.6 million a year earlier. Recent acquisitions played an important role in that performance. Bluetile and BestPlay contributed approximately $34.6 million in revenue during their first two months within the group. Several established businesses also reported growth.
WildWorks increased revenue through additional Animal Jam content, while Kiddopia benefited from improvements in subscriber numbers and average revenue per user. Nazara is increasingly combining its portfolio companies through shared marketing, analytics, technology and product-development resources. That approach could improve operational efficiency while allowing individual studios to retain their creative identities.
The results illustrate how consolidation is reshaping the mobile gaming industry, with larger companies attempting to improve profitability by sharing infrastructure across multiple titles. However, acquisitions can also introduce integration challenges and additional financial obligations. Nazara's latest figures demonstrate impressive momentum, but maintaining that growth will require continued execution.
Apparently the mobile gaming industry has discovered that collecting companies can be almost as addictive as collecting characters.
