Modern Times Group, also known as MTG, is a publicly owned company headquartered in Sweden. Founded in 1987 and employing approximately 300 individuals, it primarily operates as an entertainment provider. The company functions as a Swedish-based international gaming investment and operations group. Following a strategic transformation, which involved splitting from its traditional broadcasting roots (Nordic Entertainment Group/Viaplay), MTG has refocused as a pure-play gaming entity. The group operates through a decentralized "Gaming Village" model, focusing on acquiring and scaling mobile gaming studios that possess proven global intellectual properties (IPs). MTG positions itself as a strategic accelerator for founders and entrepreneurs, offering financial backing and business intelligence to drive growth within the competitive casual and mid-core gaming markets.
Modern Times Group's wholly-owned Indian subsidiary, PlaySimple Games Ltd., filed draft papers with the market regulator on April 25, 2026, for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) seeking to raise Rs 3150 crore. This follows an update on April 23, 2026, which detailed the offer as a secondary offering where MTG will serve as both the promoter and selling shareholder, with the proceeds of approximately USD 350 million going directly to MTG. Earlier, on April 22, 2026, MTG extended an invitation for a video call to discuss its first-quarter financial results. The call was scheduled to include presentations from President and CEO Maria Redin and CFO Nick Hopkins, with an extended session featuring Oliver Bulloss, CEO of MTG’s Midcore District, to focus on the company's progress and integration of AI across its operations.
