Company mission
To create a world where making games and building experiences is available for everyone, on every platform, not only to professionals using complex tools on PCs.
Our take
In a time when games such as Minecraft have made open-world gaming far more collaborative, Soba takes the MMOG (massively multiplayer online game) and adds a whole new layer of creativity. Using Soba’s no-code platform, gamers can create their own PC and mobile games to add to the community, whilst playing the games created by others, all without having to have a background in coding or app development.
With the intention of turning gamers into game makers, the accessibility of Soba’s powerful no-code tools is a large part of its appeal and has led to substantial seed funding from the likes of Lightspeed Venture Partners. Another facet of Soba is that users can monetise the games they create, generating an economy within the platform to incentivise creativity.
With its 2022 funding, Soba plans to bring its platform out of testing phases and will no doubt have little trouble entering the $200 billion valued global gaming market.
