- Supercent launches the Next Stage Game Challenge to discover and scale mobile games at any stage.

- The program offers minimum guarantees of up to $10,000 and milestone-based deals up to $1 million.
Supercent has announced a new global initiative called the Next Stage Game Challenge. Pretty much open to anyone making mobile games right now, the program runs from April 27 to June 1, 2026.
The Next Stage initiative is open to prototypes, unreleased games, and already live titles
The initiative isn’t limited to just new projects. You can submit early prototypes, unreleased games, or even live titles that didn’t quite work out the first time. The titles submitted will go through an evaluation process.
Once a game is submitted, it will go through an internal review, and if it passes that stage, it moves into live market testing. From there, they look at key performance indicators to decide if a game moves to the next stage.
If a game performs well, there are a few benefits on the table. Supercent mentions minimum guarantees up to $10,000, and in some cases, deals can go much higher depending on performance, even reaching up to $1 million in milestone-based payouts.
On top of that, successful teams gain access to Supercent’s structured publishing pipeline, that get feedback on design, monetization, and marketing, along with access to their testing systems.
Backed by AI tools, global marketing, and a strong publishing infrastructure
Supercent leans on data-driven decision-making, including A/B testing and performance tracking, to decide what moves forward. It is also backed by Supercent’s investment in technology and infrastructure, on AI-driven tools, global marketing capabilities, and content innovation.
Behind all this, the company is putting amazing efforts into its publishing side too. They’ve highlighted a $100 million annual marketing spend along with internal tools like their ROAS prediction system, which they claim helps in scaling games more efficiently.
Supercent backs the “great games can emerge from anywhere, at any stage”, providing a place where even struggling or overlooked games can get another push to prove their potential and reach a bigger audience.
If you’re a developer sitting on a project, new or old, submissions for Next Stage Game Challenge are now open and will stay that way until June 1, 2026. Visit the official website for more details.
