With a youthful, tech-savvy population, and an expanding smartphone market, the country has become a lure for developers, publishers and investors eager to leave an imprint on the gaming world.

From casual puzzle games to hardcore multiplayer titles, Turkish users are spending more time (and money) in mobile games than ever. The average Turkish gamer plays mobile games at least once a day, most frequently while commuting, at lunch, or late in the evening.

A Bright Future
All in all, Turkey's mobile gaming market in 2025 reflects a great deal of energy, potential and innovation. With a burgeoning user community, active development community and mounting global interest, it has quickly become a competitive market where growth does not seem to be slowing down.
