Scopely welcomed nearly 300 partners, creators and media and industry leaders to its ChinaJoy 2026 Mixer in Shanghai, celebrating collaboration across the global games industry and the company's 15th anniversary.

The event brought together long-time Chinese game collaborators, global IP and publishing partners, as well as creative studio leaders for conversations on cross-border game development, talent and the future of the industry.

The milestone celebrated Scopely's growth into a global games company with more than 3,000 employees, 15 studios, six games that have each surpassed $1 billion in lifetime revenue, and more than $15 billion in total lifetime revenue.

Reflecting on the company's journey, John Yin, Senior Vice President and Head of Slate & External Development Partnerships, emphasized that Scopely's success has always been rooted in its people and partnerships.

“One of the reasons behind Scopely's success is our unique culture," Yin said. "We have the courage to explore new directions, and even when the journey isn't always easy, our teams remain resilient and optimistic."

Yin also reaffirmed Scopely's commitment to Greater China, highlighting the importance of long-term, trusted partnerships across the region.

The following day, Scopely partnered with Women in Games to host the GAIN MOMENTUM: Elevate, Collaborate, Transform leadership brunch, bringing together more than 120 leaders from game development, technology, esports and business to discuss inclusive leadership and the future of the industry.

“We are committed to creating an environment where every employee can do their best work, make meaningful contributions, and feel a true sense of belonging," said Sonja Gittens Ottley, Vice President of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Scopely. "We believe that this is how great games are created."

Moderated by Michelle Zhang, Vice President and General Manager of Scopely China and Women in Games Ambassador, the discussion highlighted how inclusive, cross-cultural leadership can help shape the future of gaming.

Together, the two events reinforced Scopely's commitment to fostering global collaboration, strengthening partnerships across Greater China and supporting a more innovative, inclusive games industry.
