Unlocking Growth: How UA Financing Is Reshaping Mobile Gaming

InvestGame, in partnership with PvX Partners, is excited to release a new market research report on the rising role of User Acquisition (UA) financing in mobile gaming.

In mobile, UA isn’t optional — it’s essential. Most studios spend around 35-50% of gross revenue on user acquisition investments to scale. The high-capital-intensive nature of the mobile gaming business requires massive investments to grow, yet only a few independent studios can raise a growth round in the current cautious venture funding environment. 

Cohort-based UA financing offers a new path: non-dilutive growth capital tied directly to real-time campaign performance. No equity. No IP pledges. Just performance-linked payments. 

In our new report, Enabling Growth: Cohort User Acquisition Financing, we break down:

  • What drives $143B mobile gaming revenue in 2025? 
  • How does the VC funding environment look today?
  • Why do smaller studios often reinvest 35–50% of their revenue into UA?
  • What is cohort-based user acquisition financing?
  • How this model works — and what makes it different?
  • Real case studies from Superplay, Malpa, and others

Whether you’re a founder or investor, this report offers actionable insights into one of gaming’s most capital-hungry functions.
