The company's first major success came in 2012 with the game "Space Adventurer," which attracted over one million players. This milestone enabled team expansion and technological investment. In 2015, the GameZone platform officially launched with 50 games, featuring its "Play Now" technology designed to eliminate loading times and improve accessibility across devices. The business model focuses on providing free access to games, with potential revenue from competitive admission fees and payments from developers for product promotion and testing within the platform. The platform underwent a significant redesign in 2018 to optimize for mobile gaming, which grew its user base to 10 million monthly active users and led to its first major investment. By 2023, Gamezone reported having over 500 games and 50 million registered users. The company is currently developing VR integration and AI-powered personalized gaming experiences.
