The funding round was led by GameFoundry with participation from strategic console partners and multiple game studios. LumaPlay’s SDK addresses the fragmentation in current live-ops tooling by providing single API endpoints that adapt payloads to each console’s certification constraints.

Features include orchestrated content rollouts, cross-platform entitlement mapping, and real-time telemetry dashboards optimized for player experience metrics. LumaPlay demonstrated a pilot where a mid-size studio rolled out a timed event across three consoles and mobile with synchronized rewards.

The company will open beta access to select studios and promises enterprise SLAs for mission-critical events. LumaPlay’s CEO, Asha Verma, said the new capital will be invested in global data centers and automated compliance tooling for regional store policies.
