Gaming · 5 min read

OrbitPlay announced a $25 million Series B and launched Nebula Arcade, a suite of backend services and publishing tools tailored to small and mid-size game studios. Nebula Arcade bundles cloud build pipelines, automated QA, A/B testing, and a managed live-ops layer that integrates analytics, player segmentation, and monetization features.

The platform aims to reduce operational friction so indie teams can focus on game design and community. OrbitPlay also offers flexible revenue-sharing publishing deals and a marketplace for middleware integrations to accelerate time-to-market.

The funding will grow OrbitPlay's engineering and support teams, expand global server infrastructure to reduce latency for live titles, and seed a developer fund for studios using Nebula Arcade. Early partners reported faster release cycles and smoother live updates without dedicated ops staff.
