Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – 25 August 2025 – Savvy Games Group has released its 2024 Annual Report, providing a comprehensive overview on the business and showcasing the company’s achievements over the past year.

The Annual Report outlines the progress made in advancing Savvy’s strategy, which was launched by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince, and Chairman of the Board of Savvy Games Group, in September 2022.

This marks the second Annual Report published by Savvy, underscoring the company’s commitment to transparency. The report is designed to be used as a key resource for understanding Savvy’s vision, company portfolio, progress against strategy, market context, and contributions to Vision 2030 and National Gaming and Esports Strategy.

“2024 was another hugely successful year for Savvy. When it comes to progress against our strategy, there has been one core theme that has run throughout all our operations: impact. This has been apparent across each of our strategic pillars – game development and publishing, esports, and KSA ecosystem development – with our teams in Saudi Arabia and around the world consistently delivering excellent products, experiences and opportunities for the global games community,” said Brian Ward, Chief Executive Officer of Savvy Games Group.

Key achievements outlined in Savvy’s 2024 Annual Report:

Game Development and Publishing: With our business unit Scopely’s continued success, Savvy further established itself as a leader in game development and publishing globally in 2024. The report highlights key milestones in this area, including the highly popular mobile game MONOPOLY GO!’s record-breaking success of surpassing $3 billion in revenue within the shortest time, and Scopely being recognized by TIME Magazine in their “100 Most Influential Companies in the World” list in 2024. In addition, our Riyadh-based Steer Studios soft launched their first mobile title last year.

Esports & Community: The report also outlines the achievements of our business unit ESL FACEIT Group (EFG), the world’s leading esports entity. In 2024, EFG successfully operated the first ever Esports World Cup in Riyadh, solidifying the Kingdom’s status as a global leader in esports. In addition, EFG’s own tournaments, including Intel® Extreme Masters Cologne 2024, reset viewership records, which showed how engaged the esports fans and communities around the world continued to be throughout the calendar year.

Saudi Ecosystem Development: A central theme of the report is Savvy’s role in helping deliver Saudi Arabia’s National Gaming and Esports Strategy (NGES). As the National Champion for Games and Esports, Savvy made significant progress against its mandate to build the domestic games and esports ecosystem in Saudi Arabia. In 2024, Savvy’s business units EFG and Scopely formally established their presence in the Kingdom, enabling new opportunities for young people and professionals who want to pursue careers in games and esports. In addition, Savvy entered into partnerships with Xsolla and HP to join forces in building the Saudi games and esports ecosystem, focused on talent development.
