The streaming giant Netflix continues with the drive to buy gaming studios. The company has acquired Spry Fox an independent gaming studio based in Seattle, Washington.
The financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. Spry Fox becomes the streamer’s sixth in-house games studio.
“Our games journey has only just begun, but I’m proud of the foundational work we’ve been doing to build out our in-house creative capacity so that we can deliver the best possible games experience including no ads and no in-app purchases to our members as part of their membership,” Amir Rahimi, vice president of game studios at Netflix.
Gaming is a multi-billion business industry that’s the reason companies like Netflix and Disney+ continue investing in the sector for future gains and returns.
“When David and I founded Spry Fox twelve years ago, our goal was to create a place where kind, creative people could make beautiful, original games in a supportive environment that brought happiness to the people who played them,” said Daniel Cook, co-founder of Spry Fox, in the same blog post.
“After many heartfelt conversations, we are all excited about joining Netflix as an in-house game studio and building amazing games together.”
Spry Fox was founded in 2010 by David Edery and Daniel Cook. Some of the popular games the studio produced are ‘Triple Town,’ ‘Alphabear’ and ‘Cozy Grove.’
