SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Supercent, a fast-rising force in the mobile gaming industry, has made history by becoming the first South Korean company to enter the global Top 10 mobile game publishers by downloads, according to leading app analytics platform Sensor Tower.
In its latest annual rankings, Sensor Tower listed Supercent at No. 7 worldwide, marking the highest placement ever achieved by a South Korean game publisher since the rankings began in 2014. This milestone follows the company's initial entry into the global Top 10 at No. 10 last year — a remarkable three-spot climb in just 12 months, underscoring its rapid global ascent.
Breakout Hits Power Global Growth
Supercent's rise has been propelled by two major hits: "Pizza Ready" and "Snake Clash".
"Pizza Ready" dominated the hybrid casual space in 2025, ranking as the most-downloaded hybrid casual game globally. The title amassed 150 million downloads this year alone, contributing to nearly 40% of its 400 million lifetime installs. Impressively, it also ranked No. 3 among all global app launches since January 2023, and No. 1 among games, according to Sensor Tower.
The game's innovative ad strategy has been a key differentiator. Unlike typical mobile games that show ads within the first minute, "Pizza Ready" delays ad exposure until around three minutes into gameplay, allowing users to immerse themselves before encountering monetization. This user-centric approach has been praised for balancing engagement and revenue effectively.
Meanwhile, "Snake Clash" has emerged as a global hyper-casual phenomenon, surpassing 180 million lifetime downloads and ranking No. 4 in global hyper-casual downloads this year. Half of its downloads came in 2025 alone, highlighting its explosive growth. Departing from the genre's traditional reliance on ad monetization, "Snake Clash" implemented a more refined in-app purchase model with skins and packages — a move that significantly improved monetization and user satisfaction. In fact, 33% of user reviews praised the game's minimal ad experience, contributing to high player retention.
Breaking the Mold: A Milestone for South Korean Gaming
This entry into the Top 10 carries particular significance as it shatters the long-standing perception of South Korea as a "challenging market" for casual games. Despite possessing world-class development infrastructure and creative talent, the South Korean gaming industry has historically been heavily skewed toward domestic-focused MMORPGs, yielding few global successes in the casual genre for over a decade.
Industry observers view Supercent's rise as a watershed moment. By leveraging South Korea's robust infrastructure to break through global barriers, the company has effectively proved that the nation's development and creative capabilities can dominate the mass-market casual sector just as effectively as they have the hardcore genre.
AI-Powered Publishing: A Competitive Edge
Supercent is also gaining attention for its unique integration of AI technology and content strategy into its development and publishing pipeline — a rare achievement in South Korea. The company's AI-driven publishing system, data-informed decision-making, and content-first mindset have created a sustainable growth engine that sets it apart in a crowded market.
"Amid a flood of new mobile titles launching daily, Supercent continues to generate consistent, large-scale download momentum — not just fleeting viral hits," said Junsik Kong, CEO of Supercent. "This achievement is proof of our long-term growth potential and resilience in a fast-changing market."
Kong added, "By combining AI-powered systems, data analytics, and competitive content development, we're building a virtuous cycle of sustainable growth. Moving forward, we'll continue maximizing the synergy between AI and creativity to deliver successive global hits."
About Supercent
Founded in 2021, Supercent has surpassed 1.3 billion total downloads globally and boasts over 20 titles with more than 10 million downloads each. In August, the company expanded its headquarters to the Lotte World Tower in Jamsil, Seoul, and has been accelerating hiring and organizational growth in line with its global ambitions.

Supercent Breaks into the Global Top 10 Mobile Game Publishers at 7th - A First for South Korea
HONG KONG, Dec. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hong Kong ceramic artist Leo Wong (Wong Chun Yin) has been invited to participate in "Maison&Objet Intérieurs Hong Kong", where his signature "Peony Pond" series will be presented in the "Design Factory" zone of the fair. Through exquisitely detailed porcelain floral sculptures that fuse Eastern aesthetics with a contemporary design vocabulary, Leo Wong introduces international audiences to the design and craftsmanship coming out of Hong Kong and Asia.
The fair is being held from 3 to 6 December 2025 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. As the interior-focused professional edition of the internationally acclaimed Maison&Objet returning to Hong Kong, it is strongly supported by the Creative Culture and Innovation Development Agency of the HKSAR Government (CCIDAHK).
"Peony Pond" art installation – Material poetics between East and West
With "Material poetics between East and West" as its core, Leo Wong's installation "Peony Pond" features twenty ceramic flowers captured at different stages of life, each with its own posture and chromatic depth. These are transformed into a "courtyard of pools and springs" woven from porcelain blooms and light. Set within an architectural installation that echoes a classical Chinese garden, the work stages a dialogue between flowers and space to evoke a contemporary garden scene infused with Eastern lyricism, in response to the traditional Chinese garden ideal of "painting with scenery".
Floral forms have long been central to Leo Wong's artistic practice. From his emblematic peonies to roses and orchids, his subjects draw from the rich symbolism that plants carry in Chinese literature. Working with finely translucent, delicately thin porcelain, he arrests the fleeting moments of a flower's life cycle—from bud, to the cusp of opening, first bloom, and full blossom—to contemplate the arcs of life, the flow of time, and how a historic material might be infused with contemporary philosophical thought.
Each porcelain flower in the "Peony" installation requires more than one hundred hours of labour, as he sculpts every petal and minute detail by hand, allowing time and concentration to settle into each work as a palpable presence.
Artist interview: a vision of Craft Renaissance
Leo Wong remarked in an interview that last year he was invited to Venice to take part in Homo Faber, Europe's leading craft biennial, exhibiting alongside more than 400 master artisans from over 50 countries. The experience gave him a profound appreciation of the fair's core ethos: artisans are driven by lifelong passion and grounded in innate talent, maintaining a heightened sensitivity to the transformations of life, and through distilled, powerful works, translate the intricate layers where aesthetics and technique intertwine into tangible spaces and objects.
As the sole artist representing Hong Kong at the exhibition, he hopes to bring this spirit of "Craft Renaissance" back to Asia, using his work to rekindle public awareness of handcraft traditions and the contemporary value of craftsmanship. Over the past year, Leo Wong has created an art installation for Van Cleef & Arpels at its Hong Kong flagship, and has been commissioned by Starbucks to develop bespoke works for its flagship store at the Hong Kong Palace Museum and by Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok to create signature porcelain floral pieces, further advancing and embodying the unique creative role of contemporary craft within international brands and cultural institutions.
About the artist – Leo Wong
Renowned Hong Kong ceramic artist Leo Wong, with his signature high translucency porcelain to create extraordinarily intricate floral sculptures, pushing both the technical limits and aesthetic expression of ceramic art. By drawing together intangible heritage craft, literature and botany, he captures nature's fleeting moments with a distinctly Eastern poetic sensibility.
Leo Wong's works reveal the aesthetic horizon and intellectual depth of contemporary Asian ceramic sculpture. His pieces are collected by institutions and brands including Hong Kong Palace Museum, The Peninsula Hong Kong, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Chanel. He has held solo exhibitions at French May Arts Festival in Hong Kong, The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, and The Peninsula Hong Kong, and has taken part in numerous international exhibitions.
In 2024, he was selected as the sole artist to represent Hong Kong at the Homo Faber European craft biennial in Venice, exhibiting alongside over 400 master artisans from more than 50 countries. Beyond his own practice, Leo Wong founded the Hong Kong International Ceramics Association, through which he is actively engaged in arts education and community outreach.
