M&A Market: Tripledot buys Supersonic from Unity for $40M

UK mobile games publisher Tripledot Studios has completed the acquisition of Supersonic from Unity for $40 million, with the deal closing on August 4, 2026. Tripledot will operate Supersonic as a standalone Tel Aviv–based unit under its existing management and said the purchase will expand product, design and growth support for Supersonic’s development partners. This follows Tripledot’s roughly year‑earlier $800 million acquisition of AppLovin’s games business. Supersonic, founded in 2020 and folded into Unity after its 2022 all‑stock merger with ironSource, has published Bridge Race, Going Balls, Hide 'N Seek and Build A Queen and — per AppsFlyer — surpassed 6.2 billion lifetime downloads. Unity sold Supersonic as part of an exit from publishing to focus on ads and game technology; the company reported strong Q2 2026 results and expects GAAP profitability by Q3 2026.
