Since joining them last week, the positivity and creative energy we are seeing from them has been overwhelming. Stuart Poole, General Manager of YoYo Games said, “It’s been clear to us from the first time we spoke to them that the whole of the team at Opera is incredibly passionate about games. We are also thrilled to find future synergies between YoYo Games’ products and Opera GX.” We look forward to further growing Opera GX and to driving the growth of GameMaker, making it more accessible to novice users and developing it into the world’s leading 2D game engine used by commercial studios. “We see the platform as being an ideal acquisition to complement our global ambitions in gaming, along with our Opera GX gaming browser. “We are very excited to start working with the team at YoYo Games,” said Krystian Kolondra, EVP Browsers at Opera.
Together with Opera GX, GameMaker will form the cornerstone of Opera Gaming - a new division focused on expanding Opera’s reach and capabilities within the gaming space. Looking forward, Opera has big plans for YoYo Games and GameMaker. YoYo Games’ will continue to be based in Dundee, Scotland and General Manager Stuart Poole and Technical Lead Russell Kay will both remain with the business. One that we believe will unlock many exciting possibilities for developers and educators.
Today’s news signals the start of an exciting new journey. Beyond gaming, Opera’s browsers, news products and fintech solutions are the trusted choice of more than 380 million users worldwide, so we’re in great hands! With features that include countless customization options, sound effects, background music, a gaming-inspired design, as well as CPU, RAM and Network Bandwidth limiters, GX is less resource-hungry and leaves more of the computer’s resources for gaming. We’ve got some big news! YoYo Games is now part of Opera - the global web innovator and creator of Opera GX - Opera GX is a browser built for gamers.
