We’re pleased to announced that the top leaders of Scopely will talk at the GamesBeat Summit 2024 event about the enormous success of Monopoly Go, a hit mobile game that generated $2 billion in revenue just 10 months after launch.

Walter Driver and Javier Ferreira, co-CEOs of Scopely, and chief revenue officer Tim O’Brien will speak on a panel at our summit, which takes place in Los Angeles on May 20-21 at the Marina del Rey Marriott.

(Brian Ward, CEO of Savvy Games Group, the mobile game company that Savvy Games Group bought for $4.9 billion a year ago — will also speak at GamesBeat Summit). Monopoly Go’s is pretty rare at a time when much of the game industry has been suffering through layoffs.

But it’s a sign that while times are challenging, there are still rewards for companies that persevere. Monopoly Go took a total of seven years to come to the market, and its success is an example of resilience and adaptation, which is the theme of our conference.
