Studios now need reliable infrastructure, efficient workflows, and smarter testing systems. Qwacks aims to meet this demand with technology built for real production needs. The company focuses on solutions that let teams build, validate, and scale their games with greater clarity and speed. Local developers increasingly seek platforms that help them move away from fragmented processes. Qwacks places itself in that gap by offering a unified environment that supports a full development lifecycle. A Unified Platform Built for Game Creation Founded in 2024, Qwacks is building a connected technology layer that streamlines how game studios operate. Its platform brings together three core products: Flock: A scalable Backend as a Service for multiplayer and online game features. Protokite: An AI enhanced playtesting system that links developers with real players for faster validation. DataDuck: A market intelligence engine that aggregates data to help studios test ideas and define market fit. These tools target the biggest hurdles in game production. They help teams shorten development cycles, reduce operational friction, and act on data rather than guesswork. Funding to Support Expansion and Deeper Integration The new capital gives Qwacks room to grow its technology stack and improve its platform capabilities. The company plans to expand its integrations, serve more studios across the Kingdom, and support a broader range of production needs. The funding also strengthens operational readiness as demand for local gaming infrastructure rises. Executives from both Merak Capital and Qwacks say the partnership strengthens their shared vision of advancing the Kingdom’s gaming ecosystem. Key priorities for Qwacks moving forward include: Expanding its presence across Saudi Arabia and the region. Accelerating the development of its backend and intelligence tools. Supporting a wider network of studios with scalable systems. Building stronger foundations for long term growth in the local gaming industry. A Strategic Investment in Saudi Arabia’s Gaming Future Merak Capital views the investment as a step toward building the technical base needed for Saudi studios to thrive. Qwacks shares that mission and aims to equip developers with tools that make production faster and more predictable. With this raise, Qwacks moves closer to becoming a key technology provider in the region’s gaming sector. The company plans to continue developing tools that empower studios and support a new generation of Saudi built games.
