Scopely landed at No. 1 on PocketGamer.biz's list of Top 30 Iberia Game Makers 2026, a ranking based on industry trends, investment in the region and global success.
Here is what PocketGamer.biz had to say about Scopely in their ranking:
First, and most importantly, is the company making great games that are being played globally? Then, how influential are they both locally and internationally? We also consider areas like investment, company expansion and even potential.

“But Scopely is a US company,” we hear you say. Well, the publisher may have hubs in the United States, but its beating heart is in Spain. Today, it has more than 1,100 “Scopeleans” — its affectionate name for employees — in the country. Many of those are based in Barcelona, while it also has a growing hub in Seville, where it houses almost 150 staff.
Scopely first set up shop in Barcelona back in 2017, and Co-CEO Javier Ferrera is himself a native Spaniard. From a team of five, the company’s presence has expanded substantially in the country.

Scopely director of operations Néstor Pequeño says Spain has become one of the publisher’s “most strategic global markets”. It serves as a testament to the nation’s top development talent and is just one example of why the world’s leading games companies are increasingly flocking to Spain.
