Turkiye has firmly established itself as a powerhouse in the mobile gaming industry, with billion-dollar acquisitions and globally successful mobile studios.
However, the indie and PC gaming scene remains in a developmental phase despite major successes such as Mount & Blade and, more recently, Supermarket Simulator.
Devotion Interactive has entered this space as a newly structured company focused on supporting indie developers and strengthening Turkiye’s presence in the global PC and console gaming market.

The Expansion of Turkiye’s Indie and PC Gaming Scene
While Turkiye’s mobile gaming sector continues to thrive, the indie and PC gaming industry is still in an expansion phase.

This aligns with Turkiye’s increasing influence in the global gaming market, as indicated in a recent InvestGame report analyzing the country’s rapid development in the industry.

Devotion Interactive aims to address these issues by providing:
- Marketing expertise for PC and console platforms, including optimization for digital storefronts and promotional campaigns.
- Development support: Assisting studios in refining game design, improving gameplay mechanics, and enhancing the overall player experience.
- Community-building strategies: Ensuring that indie titles attract and maintain an engaged player base.
