Best Gaming Companies in Israel
The 199 best Gaming companies in Israel in 2026, ranked by funding and momentum. Funding, investors, founders, valuation, tech stack and live signals. Top: Moon Active.
Gaming in Israel punches well above its weight: 199 companies tracked, $1.2B in disclosed funding, and one unicorn already on the board. Candivore leads the pack at $122M raised, with Anzu close behind at $84M, and active backers like VGames and Entree Capital still writing checks. The global gaming market sat at $202.7B in 2022, and even with forecast revisions toward $117.2B by 2028, that's a massive revenue pool to compete for, and Israeli studios are clearly positioning early.
So what's actually moving right now? Median install growth is running at +11% YoY across 23 gaming apps, which tells you mobile demand hasn't cooled. Hardware is the loud conversation globally, with gaming laptops and high-performance GPUs dominating search and shelf space. Regulatory pressure on loot boxes is the quieter structural shift worth watching. I'd also flag that deal activity beyond Israel's borders signals where capital is hunting: Nodwin's $55M Starladder acquisition shows esports consolidation accelerating, while Eloelo's Rs 114Cr raise confirms social gaming is pulling serious institutional money. The sector's live and competitive. This directory gives you the clearest read on where Israel's best-funded studios actually stand.
