Among the 17 most recent Istanbul gaming rounds shown, Dream Games’ disclosed $1.3B on 2025-05-01 dwarfs every other disclosed amount, with the next-largest disclosed round at $25M (Bigger Games on 2025-06-16 and Good Job Games on 2025-02-12). Most entries are much smaller in comparison: several disclose $2M (Mavis Games on 2025-06-19, Fortune Mine Games on 2023-07-17, Fuse Games on 2023-06-19), and the smallest disclosed amount is Lumier Games’ $50K on 2023-05-22.
The list clusters in time rather than being evenly spread: five rows fall between 2023-03-20 and 2023-09-04, and multiple funding events appear in 2025 (2025-02-12 through 2025-06-19). Stage classification is also uneven, with 6 of 17 rows marked “Series Unknown” and 5 of 17 rows marked “undisclosed,” leaving only a subset with explicit amounts tied to Seed, Pre-Seed, or Seed-stage records. All rows list Istanbul as the location, with one entry explicitly naming “Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey” (Spektra Games on 2026-06-08) and the rest using “Istanbul, Turkey.” The displayed window runs from 2021-09-09 (Gulliver's Games) to 2026-06-08 (Spektra Games).
