History

In 2016, the company acquired mobile developer Pixonic.[1] In 2017, an investment division Mail.ru Games Ventures (MRGV) was set up as part of the company’s Gaming department. On May 30, 2019, Mail.ru Group consolidated all of its gaming assets under the united My.Games brand.[2] In 2020 MRGV was renamed to My.Games Venture Capital (MGVC).[3] In October 2020, My.Games became a major shareholder of Deus Craft and its current flagship product Grand Hotel Mania, released in July 2020.[4] In September 2022, VK completed a multi-stage deal to sell 100% of MY.GAMES to Aleksander Chachava, the managing partner at LETA Capital.[5]

In December 2022, My.Games announced it was pulling out of Russia. In an announcement issued by its Amsterdam headquarters, the publisher said all parts of the business that have been generating revenue in Russia will be separated into a new independent entity which will have no affiliation with My.Games.[6]

In September 2023, My.Games has announced that Elena Grigorian has been appointed as CEO, advancing from previous roles with the company as chief marketing officer and chief strategy officer. [7]
