The London Market Expansion has selected three Turkish game startups to join its programme aimed at helping them break into the UK market. 

The initiative first began with online training on May 6th, 2025, and will culminate at London Tech Week, where participating studios will showcase their projects at the Turkish Pavilion. 

During the event, startups will pitch to investors on Demo Day and participate in mentorships, networking, and investor meetings to build international connections and explore funding opportunities.

The Turkish game startups selected to join the London Market Expansion programme included PaxAnimi Games, Game Actor, and Yamy Studio. 

Mobile-driven studios 

PaxAnimi focuses on user-centric mobile games in genres such as hypercasual and idle/tycoon, while Game Actor offers advertising solutions based on real-time, player-sourced data.

Yamy Studio combines AI-supported game analytics with in-house publishing to develop mobile titles and reach international audiences from Türkiye.
