Based in Seville, Axes In Motion was first set up in 2014, focused on developing free-to-play mobile games, just as that market was picking up Steam in Europe.
According to the company’s website, the studio employed 30 staff, while its portfolio has amassed more than 1 billion downloads.
In fact, just one of its games, flagship title Extreme Car Driving Simulator, has managed over 1bn installs itself. According to AppMagic estimates, the title picked up 94.7 million downloads last year, which made it the 18th most downloaded mobile game worldwide across the App Store and Google Play.
Furthermore, it ranked as the third most downloaded simulation game globally, and the number one vehicle simulator. If categorised in the racing genre, it would have topped that list, too. Not bad for a game that first launched in 2014.
Axes In Motion has other titles in its portfolio, too. The studio says that another 2014 release, Extreme SUV Driving Simulator, has accumulated around 72m installs, while Car Stunt Races: Mega Ramps, launched in 2019, has now surpassed 50m downloads.
In more recent history, the developer has tried its hand at launching other titles too. Extreme Motorcycle Simulator released in September 2025 and has picked up an estimated 9 million installs to date. Extreme Card Driving Stunts, meanwhile, has generated 5.8m downloads, per AppMagic.
Overall, Axis in Motion’s games were downloaded 105.6m times in 2025, making it the top Iberian publisher by downloads last year.
Axes In Motion has become one of Spain’s top exports – just through garnering more than a billion downloads, but perhaps more importantly for the country’s ecosystem, has achieved success through homegrown IP. And it’s done that with a culture of working in small teams, which it believes can help it react swiftly to changes in the ever-evolving mobile market.
