“At the end of the 1990s, Michel Guillemot was observing the evolution and perspectives offered by the mobile phone industry with great interest. He soon realized that mobile phones would become a mass-market product and the main entertainment platform in the world. He wanted to take part in this revolution and bring to this ever-growing sector his experience in the video game industry, which he acquired with Ubisoft, a company he co-founded in the 1980s.

A true pioneer, Gameloft was one of the first companies in the world to develop games for Java- and Brew-enabled handsets and quickly created a large lineup of games for their users, including impressive mobile adaptations of console games such as Prince of Persia and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.By 2003, over 100 mobile phones were compatible with Gameloft titles, and the company was profitable.

In 2004, Gameloft launched the first installment in the Asphalt franchise, which today remains a benchmark on mobile phones and digital platforms. Gameloft also offered 3D games for the first time in 2004, as well as real-time multiplayer in 2005, on the most advanced mobile models and networks at the time. 400 phones were compatible, and the Java game lineup reached 200 titles in 2007.In 2008, Gameloft successfully shifted towards smartphones and touchscreen interfaces. Gameloft was the first company to offer 6 games on the Apple App Store after it was launched on July 9, 2008. For the first time, Gameloft’s yearly sales figures surpassed the 100-million-euro mark.

After 14 years of constant growth, Gameloft is proud to announce its inclusion in the SBF 120 index. Today, Gameloft employs over 6,000 people around the world and is a key player in an industry expected to grow rapidly in the coming years.”
