Nazara Technologies, India’s prominent gaming and e-sports company, has completed a strategic acquisition of UK-based Curve Games for ₹247 crore. This bold move signals Nazara’s entry into the global PC-console gaming market, currently valued at over $100 billion, and marks a significant shift in India’s positioning within the international gaming ecosystem.
Curve Games, known for publishing successful indie titles like The Ascent, For the King, and Human: Fall Flat, brings a deep portfolio and publishing expertise that aligns with Nazara’s vision of scaling globally. The acquisition will enable Nazara to diversify beyond mobile-first markets and penetrate high-value segments across North America and Europe.
Strategic Growth from India to the World
According to Nazara’s leadership, this acquisition is part of a larger roadmap to transform India from a consumption hub to a global game development and publishing powerhouse. With increased investments in IP creation and cross-platform experiences, this move could open the door for Indian developers to enter the PC and console spaces with stronger international publishing backing.
Nazara’s stock surged following the announcement, reaching a two-year high of ₹1,149.85, up 4% on the day, showing investor confidence in its aggressive global expansion strategy.
India’s Rising Power in the Gaming Industry
This acquisition reflects a broader trend of India’s AVGC (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming & Comics) sector expanding its global reach. As Indian companies gain confidence and capital, the focus is shifting toward high-end content production, strategic M&As, and platform diversification.
