\nA core part of Tamatem\u2019s infrastructure is Tamatem Plus, its payments network, which integrates over 45 local payment methods into a single API, enabling hundreds of gaming and app companies to monetize effectively across the region.
\n\u201cPlayable Factory has built a platform trusted by leading gaming companies across Europe and the US,\u201d said Berat Oguz, founder and CEO of Playable Factory. \u201cJoining Tamatem allows us to scale this technology globally, while continuing to deliver high-performance solutions to our partners.\u201d
\nWith this acquisition, Tamatem is entering a new phase as an AI-first gaming platform.
\nThe company is actively investing in AI across all layers of its business, from creating games faster and more efficiently, to generating and optimizing advertising creatives at scale, to enabling new forms of interactive and personalized player experiences.
\nThe long-term vision is to leverage AI to fundamentally transform how games are built, marketed, and experienced, unlocking faster production cycles, smarter growth, and entirely new gameplay formats.
\nThe announcement comes as Tamatem welcomes Next Ventures and Square Enix as new investors, with existing investor Krafton increasing its commitment, bringing total funding raised by the company to over $25 million.
\nTamatem now operates across six offices in Amman, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Cairo, Istanbul, and Baghdad, with a team of 180 employees.
