Pre-seed gaming funding in the 43 most recent entries spans from 2021-03-18 (Chirrup, $300K) to 2025-11-27 (Plan A Games, undisclosed). The disclosed range is tight at the bottom—$50K (Loreworx, 2023-06-02) is the smallest disclosed amount—until one clear outlier breaks the pattern: Dogami raised $6M on 2021-12-21, dwarfing the next-largest disclosed rounds that cluster around $5M (Mother Games, $5M on 2024-09-10) and $4M (Rival, $4M on 2025-03-25).
City concentration also shows up. Turkey appears repeatedly across multiple entries (e.g., Joinco Games in Ayaklikiri/Izmir, Turkey on 2024-11-08; SekGames in Sariyer/Istanbul, Turkey on 2025-03-18; AltWorld in Bengaluru, India is different, but Istanbul appears again with L8 Studios on 2022-07-21 and multiple other Istanbul-based entries like Fuse Games on 2023-06-19). Temporally, several funded rounds stack in early 2024—multiple $1M–$3M rounds fall between 2024-01-08 (Wonder Legends Studio, $1M) and 2024-11-08 (Joinco Games, undisclosed), indicating a dense mid-range window rather than a uniform spread.

Frequently asked
What outlier stands out in disclosed pre-seed round sizes, and how does it compare to the rest of the list?
Dogami’s disclosed $6M pre-seed round on 2021-12-21 is the largest disclosed amount in these 43 rows; it sits well above the next-largest disclosed amounts such as Mother Games’ $5M on 2024-09-10 and Rival’s $4M on 2025-03-25.
Are there early-2024 date clusters, or is funding evenly distributed across the date range?
The list shows a noticeable mid-range build: several disclosed rounds land between 2024-01-08 (Wonder Legends Studio, $1M) and 2024-08-01 (2weeks, $1M), with additional activity through late 2024 (e.g., Obelisk Studio, $2M on 2024-01-18; Toast, $2M on 2025-09-28 comes later, but the 2024 stretch is densely populated).
How common are undisclosed round amounts, and do they affect what can be compared?
Undisclosed amounts appear multiple times in the 43-row view (for example Plan A Games on 2025-11-27; SekGames on 2025-03-18; and Chronicler on 2023-06-05), which means comparisons like “largest” and “smallest” are only valid within disclosed amounts (e.g., $50K is the smallest disclosed at Loreworx on 2023-06-02).
Which geographies appear repeatedly, suggesting a stronger localization effect?
Turkey shows up more than once across the list, including Istanbul-area entries such as SekGames (2025-03-18, undisclosed; Sariyer) and Fuse Games (2023-06-19, $2M; Istanbul), plus other Turkish locations like Joinco Games (2024-11-08, undisclosed; Ayaklikiri/Izmir) and L8 Studios (2022-07-21, undisclosed; Kadikoy/Istanbul).
What are the smallest and largest disclosed pre-seed rounds in this dataset, and where do they fall on the timeline?
The smallest disclosed amount is $50K for Loreworx on 2023-06-02, while the largest disclosed amount is $6M for Dogami on 2021-12-21—placing the extreme low and extreme high at different points in time rather than the same narrow window.
