In September, Playtika announced a $1.95bn acquisition of Dice Dreams maker SuperPlay. CFO Craig Abrahams stated, "M&A continues to be a key driver of growth for us...and it will continue to be key for us." While Playtika has historically relied heavily on M&A, there is much reason to believe this will be true for several players in the industry.
The peak of M&A in gaming was in 2022, when volume reached $102bn. Since then, it has rapidly declined alongside the average deal size, almost halving from $103.1m in 2022 to $59.6m in H2 2024.
