Glu Mobile

Glu Mobile at a Glance

Glu Mobile operates out of San Mateo, California and has been active in the industry from 2004 through 2021. Founded in 2001, this publisher developed or released 68 games on PlayPile. Their catalog shows a heavy reliance on mobile platforms with 44 titles for iOS and 36 for Android. They also supported legacy hardware like BlackBerry OS and Windows Phone, though they have since moved away from these systems. The company focuses primarily on shooters, with 19 releases in that category, followed by adventure games and arcade titles. The volume of their work changed significantly over time. They released 20 games during the 2000s and a much larger batch of 44 games throughout the 2010s. Their output dropped sharply in the 2020s with only two titles listed. This reduction suggests they either scaled back operations or shifted focus away from new releases by that period. Quality ratings for Glu Mobile are generally strong among the few titles that have been scored. Nine games hold an average rating of 82 out of 100. The breakdown shows six great scores above 80 and three good scores between 60 and 79. No titles fell into the mixed or poor categories. Top performers include Eternity Warriors II, Blood & Glory 2: Legend, and Samurai vs Zombies Defense, all scoring 90. QuizUp also performed well with an 83.7 score, while Deer Hunter Classic reached 80. Recent years saw releases like MLB Tap Sports Baseball 2021 and Disney Sorcerer's Arena. Earlier efforts included WWE Universe and Nicki Minaj: The Empire. While their platform reach once included PC and Xbox 360, the vast majority of their library remains tied to smartphones and older mobile devices. Their portfolio spans sports, strategy, and quiz genres alongside their dominant shooter lineup.
