After the launch of COMBO! in 2022, which enabled brands to reach over a billion mobile gamers monthly in a brand and family-safe environment, Gameloft for brands new expansion aims to accompany advertisers in other gaming spaces, as – they see it – “all ecosystems are progressively opening up to advertising.”

Future expansions
