History & milestones In June 2011, Storm8 was one of the first free-to-play mobile game publishers to announce that it earned $1 million in a single day. The following year, technology news site TechCrunch referred to Storm8 as the "quiet mobile gaming giant" for successfully building one of the biggest mobile social gaming networks without raising any venture capital funding, and remaining relatively quiet with the press.
In December 2012, the company celebrated 2 million game downloads in one day.
In January 2020, Storm8 was acquired by Stillfront Group for US $300 million. The acquisition was completed in February 2020.
Expansion moves In 2014 the company appointed game industry veterans, adding Disney, EA and Zynga experience to its leadership team.
The company announced a deal with Hasbro Inc. in December 2014 to launch Monopoly Bingo! and Clue Bingo! on iOS and Android. These games were later rebranded as Bingo Tycoon! in January 2021.
In June 2019, the company partnered with the Property Brothers to launch Property Brothers Home Design on iOS and Android.
