Beamable

After an amazing GDC week, we're more inspired than ever to continue bringing Game Makers state-of-the-art tools that meet you wherever you make games!

@skillz , @Beamable and The LiveOps Shift Recorded live on-site at @Official_GDC, Craig Chapple and I sat down with Robert Burnett, Head of New Content at Skillz, and Jon Radoff, CPO of Beamable, to unpack what just changed for developers building competitive mobile games. In this episode, we get into: ◉ Puzzle Blockz, the first live proof point for the combined platform ◉ What this shift means for smaller teams that want to move faster without building every part of the stack themselves ◉ How advertising, IAP and competition can start to work together instead of sitting in separate silos Skillz also unveiled the Pro SDK at GDC, opening up more control inside Unity for developers who want to build competitive games with richer progression, more flexible monetisation and a stronger live-service layer. If you are serious about building competitive mobile games that can keep players and grow revenue, start here. 🎧 Listen to the full episode on PocketGamer.biz YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=BXKBYj… Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/2p0Y1W…

Star Trek Timelines just hit 10 years and $100M lifetime revenue. That kind of staying power shaped a lot of the thinking behind @Beamable

Backend Infrastructure Now Decides Mobile Game Winners In Part 1 of this two-part @pgbiz special, myself and @flackboy sit down with Jon Radoff, CEO of Beamable Jon makes the case for treating infrastructure as a strategic lever rather than a technical burden and for recognising that games are no longer products you ship, but businesses you operate. Peggy, Brian and Jon explore what @skillz acquisition of @Beamable backend and LiveOps technology means for developers, and how bringing together competition systems, identity, payments and scalable backend services can reduce operational risk while freeing teams to focus on what actually differentiates their game. In this episode, you’ll understand: • Why velocity and behavioural signal now outweigh feature roadmaps • How backend decisions directly impact runway, trust and long-term scalability • What unified competition, identity and LiveOps systems unlock for 20-person studios • Why socially connected mechanics are no longer reserved for massive teams • How creator-driven ecosystems like Roblox are resetting player expectations Watch the full episode on: YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=3ixgYQ… Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/5n0u2s… Apple: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/poc…
