- Modern Times Group MTG AB (publ) (MTG-A.ST) is a Sweden-based international gaming group that owns and operates gaming studios developing, publishing and monetizing popular global intellectual properties across casual and mid-core genres including tower defense, word games, strategy RPGs, racing and action titles; core studios and brands encompass PlaySimple, InnoGames, Ninja Kiwi, Hutch, Snowprint, Kongregate and Plarium with flagship games such as Forge of Empires, Elvenar, Bloons, Race Master 3D, RAID: Shadow Legends and Mech Arena; the group generates revenues primarily from in-app purchases, in-app advertising and third-party distribution while providing supporting commercial technology, tools and user acquisition services to accelerate portfolio growth. Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Stockholm at Skeppsbron 18, MTG maintains a global footprint with operations spanning Europe, the United States, Singapore, India and New Zealand, targeting free-to-play mobile and online gamers worldwide through a network of over 1,000 employees. In February 2025, MTG completed its transformative acquisition of Plarium Global Ltd from Aristocrat Leisure for an upfront payment of USD 620 million financed by cash and USD 460 million in loans, scaling the group into a leading mid-core gaming operator with enhanced evergreen IP portfolio and initiating a midcore transformation program from 2026 to centralize services, technology and live operations across studios; the deal follows prior investments including full ownership of PlaySimple in 2021 and divestitures such as ESL to Savvy Gaming Group in 2022, positioning MTG for 7-9% organic revenue growth and 21-24% adjusted EBITDA margins in 2025.
