Record Growth Fuels Next Phase for Revolving Games

Fresh off record-breaking momentum across its game portfolio, Revolving Games is entering its next phase of growth driven by player adoption, product-first development, and a growing global community.

The company, known for building games that blend deep gameplay with real player rewards, now boasts over 700,000 installs and 40,000 paying customers across its titles and is preparing to scale through new content, major game launches, and the foundation of a player-powered publishing ecosystem.

Breakout Growth Across Live Games

After four years of development and $25 million invested, Revolving Games’ latest title, War of Nova, has quickly emerged as one of the fastest-growing strategy games in its category. The real-time 4X strategy MMORPG is:

· Tracking toward $30 million in annualized revenue

· Seeing 40% that revenue generated by players on App Store and Google Play

· Showing strong player retention and engagement with D1/D3/D7 retention rates of 45/38/26, respectively and 30 minute average session lengths

· Launching Season 2 with improved social features in August

In parallel, HatchKings, Revolving Games’ social slots game, set a new on-chain gaming revenue record by generating $1.4 million in just 10 days, outperforming previous benchmarks set by leading Web3 games.

These numbers are more than just proof points. They signal what many have questioned – that Web3 games can, in fact, break into the mainstream. With nearly half of War of Nova’s revenue coming from everyday mobile players, Revolving Games is closing the gap between traditional mobile gaming and next-generation, player-powered infrastructure.

A Growing Player Community and Publisher Ecosystem

With four launched games, a robust live service operation, and a loyal player base investing into its infrastructure, Revolving Games is laying the groundwork for a scalable, player-first publishing platform. The company’s upcoming roadmap includes:

· The launch of Skyborne: Phoenix Flight, a casual invest-express RPG reminiscent of Animal Crossing, set to debut in Limited Access later this year

· Continued updates and seasonal content for War of Nova, HatchKings, and Hatchlings

· Onboarding IP Partners into the Publisher Ecosystem

· The rollout of the RCADE Network, a player-powered infrastructure layer designed to connect games, studios, and players through real rewards and shared growth

“With the traction we’re seeing across our live games and Skyborne: Phoenix Flight on deck, we believe Revolving Games is positioned to reach $60 million in ARR by the end of the year,” added Ammar Zaeem, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Revolving Games. “It’s a reflection of years of quiet work and our belief that building for real players — not hype — is what drives long-term growth.”

Building for the Long Term

Backed by industry giants Pantera Capital, Animoca Brands, Polygon, and Rockstar Games’ co-creator Dan Houser, Revolving Games has shown through its commercial success and rapid growth that it’s leading the way for next-gen gaming.

“Four years ago, we set out to build games that people actually want to play and it still remains the mission,” said Saad Zaeem, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Revolving Games. “Seeing War of Nova and HatchKings take off proves that when you focus on gameplay and community first, everything else follows.”

Revolving Games has been recognized as #27 Forbes’ Best Startup Employers and Newsweek’s Greatest Startup Workplaces in 2025. The company continues to scale globally with studios in North America, Europe, and Asia.

What are the interest rate expectations for the major central banks?

Rate cuts by year-end

  • Fed: 53 bps (95% probability of no change at the upcoming meeting)
  • ECB: 26 bps (89% probability of no change at the upcoming meeting)
  • BoE: 55 bps (85% probability of rate cut at the upcoming meeting)
  • BoC: 30 bps (72% probability of no change at the upcoming meeting)
  • RBA: 77 bps (94% probability of rate cut at the upcoming meeting)
  • RBNZ: 31 bps (81% probability of no change at the upcoming meeting)
  • SNB: 9 bps (88% probability of no change at the upcoming meeting)

Rate hikes by year-end

  • BoJ: 11 bps (99% probability of no change at the upcoming meeting)

We’ve seen very small changes in rates pricing since the last update as traders are now waiting for Trump’s letters on tariffs and the US CPI next week.

The positive NFP report last Thursday got us back to the Fed’s baseline scenario of two rate cuts in 2025. The US labour market data continues to be resilient and that will keep the Fed comfortable in waiting for more inflation data.

We have the RBA and RBNZ monetary policy decisions coming up in the next days. The RBA is widely expected to cut by 25 bps, while the RBNZ is expected to keep rates steady.

With Trump’s bill done, the only two risk events ahead are the US CPI next week and some tariffs noise ahead of the August 1 deadline.

Oil shrugs off the extra OPEC barrels, touches the best level since Iran ceasefire

OPEC has a way of tripping up fundamental traders.

The OPEC+ group met on the weekend and unexpectedly added 548K barrels per day starting in August, against expectations they would add 411K, as they have in previous months. That was combined with a report saying they will add a similar amount in September to complete the reversal of ‘voluntary’ cuts from 8 of the world’s largest producers.

Crude opened $2 lower but quickly found a floor and steadily rose more than $2.20 to a session high of $67.91 a short time ago. That’s the best level since the aftermath of the June 23 Iran ceasefire.

The reversal and squeeze is a good sign and also note a small series of higher lows since the ceasefire. Another positive indication is that it bottomed after the ceasefire well above the June lows along with the lows from the first round of extra OPEC oil.

In total, OPEC is now on track to add back the full 2.17 million barrel voluntary cut and oil is down only $6 on the year. None of that was priced in at the start of the year and it’s a decent performance, although it’s somewhat flattered by a falling US dollar.

The good news is in the longer term for oil as weekly rig counts and surveys continue to show US shale players lowering production plans. That fits with a long-standing view in a corner of the market that shale has peaked and it will be tough to even maintain production from here, especially with oil at these levels.
