An independent mobile game studio has achieved significant success, amassing over 39.2 million organic downloads across its portfolio without investing in paid user acquisition. The games are available on both major app platforms, with a hallmark franchise that has garnered a global fanbase. Leveraging a 10-year-old, authoritative developer account, the studio benefits from established trust and credibility. Revenue streams are diverse, including Google AdMob, Unity Ads, Google Play Pass, and in-app purchases, contributing to a consistent financial inflow. Importantly, the operation incurs near-zero maintenance costs, as it requires no expensive infrastructure or staffing and can be remotely managed.
The studio focuses on horror and adventure genres, with operations streamlined to just 2 to 5 hours weekly. This minimal time is spent on ad dashboard monitoring, user reviews, and occasional software development kit updates. Built on Unity, the games enable seamless cross-platform updates. Customer acquisition occurs organically through App Store Optimization and word-of-mouth. The studio's global audience is largely self-built within the horror gaming community.
Financially efficient, the business has reported a trailing twelve months gross revenue of $3,104 and a net profit of $3,000, with negligible overhead costs. The sale includes a comprehensive portfolio and brand package, comprising developer accounts, source codes, trademarks, domains, and social media assets. The current owner is selling to fund a new project, presenting a unique opportunity to acquire a well-established game studio that generates passive income with minimal oversight.
