Yards advises Griffin Gaming Partners on the acquisition of Playdigious

Griffin Gaming Partners is one of the world’s leading venture capital firms focused on the global gaming market, with more than $1.5 billion in assets under management. Griffin Gaming Partners invests in the seed and growth stages of software infrastructure, content, and platforms in the video game industry.

Founded in 2015 by Xavier Liard and Romain Tisserand, Playdigious has established itself as a recognized player in the development and publishing of independent video games. In May 2021, the studio was acquired by the Fragbite group.

Playdigious’s main business model is based on exploiting licenses for games already published on PC and consoles, porting them to mobile, and publishing them on mobile. In 2023, the studio also launched a unit dedicated to publishing PC games under the Playdigious Originals label.
