SuperGaming’s MaskGun has surpassed 100 million players globally, marking a milestone for India’s growing gaming industry.
Indian game developer SuperGaming has achieved a major feat as its flagship shooter, MaskGun, has officially crossed 100 million players worldwide across Android and iOS. Since its release in January 2019, MaskGun has not only become one of India’s most successful homegrown shooters but has also found recognition on the global stage, placing it alongside international mobile gaming titles.
A Global Milestone for Indian Gaming - SuperGaming’s MaskGun
MaskGun’s success is particularly significant as it comes from a studio based in Pune, India, far from the traditional global gaming hubs in the US, Japan, or China. Players have collectively logged more than 40 million hours in the game, forming millions of clans and cementing MaskGun as one of the most community-driven shooters born out of India.
Powered by SuperGaming’s proprietary SuperPlatform, the game has delivered stable multiplayer experiences for large-scale sessions while enabling players to connect socially through clans and battles. This has allowed MaskGun to build a strong global player base that continues to thrive years after its launch.
Celebrating 100 Million Players
To mark this milestone, SuperGaming has launched a two-week in-game celebration, featuring exclusive rewards and events for its massive player community:
- Midas 100M Crate: Premium exclusive crate gifted to all players logging in during the celebration.
- 2X XP Boost: Double XP on all matches to accelerate player progression.
- Community Spotlight: MaskGun’s top players and contributors recognized in the game’s credits.
- New Splash Screen: A fresh in-game look celebrating the 100M achievement.
- Clan Leaderboard Rewards: Special rewards for globally top-performing clans.
In a statement, Roby John, CEO and Co-Founder of SuperGaming, expressed gratitude: “When we started making MaskGun, we never imagined it would become a community this large and vibrant. This milestone belongs entirely to our players. The best part about MaskGun has never been the guns or the maps; it’s the people. Their friendships, rivalries, and stories have made this journey special.”
SuperGaming’s Philosophy: Genre Mastery
MaskGun’s success reflects SuperGaming’s strategy of genre mastery, focusing on refining multiplayer shooter mechanics while ensuring accessibility and community engagement. The learnings from MaskGun have fueled the studio’s other projects, such as the Indo-futuristic battle royale “Indus”, which has already surpassed 9 million downloads in its first year and bagged the Best Made in India Game award on Google Play in 2024.
SuperGaming’s portfolio also features titles like Battle Stars, Silly Royale, and Tower Conquest, collectively achieving over 200 million installs worldwide. Each game incorporates the studio’s experience in balancing live-service updates, cultural storytelling, and community focus.
Fuelled by Series B Funding
This achievement comes on the heels of SuperGaming’s $15 million Series B funding round in August 2025, which pushed its valuation to around $100 million. The round was led by Skycatcher and Steadview Capital, alongside investors like a16z Speedrun, Bandai Namco 021 Fund, Polygon Ventures, and Neowiz.
According to the company, this capital will:
- Support international expansion into regions like Latin America and the Middle East.
- Accelerate the growth of the SuperPlatform, ensuring scalability for future games.
- Provide resources for the development of new original IPs, cementing India’s position in global game development.
The investment shows increasing faith from global markets in the Indian gaming industry’s potential, even amid stiff international competition.
Basically, crossing 100 million players, SuperGaming’s MaskGun proves that Indian studios can create globally successful games rooted in community and innovation. With massive player engagement, significant new funding, and a pipeline of ambitious projects like Indus, SuperGaming is well-positioned to push Indian gaming further into the international spotlight.
