Revenue model

1. Virtual Goods and Game Currency Sales: Developers and players purchase virtual goods, game currency, character skins, and digital add-on items. Virtual goods are non-transferable across games unless expressly permitted. The company also charges marketplace commissions on peer-to-peer virtual goods transactions settled via the Flow Blockchain.
2. Marketplace Commission: Joyride takes a commission on the total value of marketplace transactions when users buy and sell virtual goods via smart contracts on the Flow Blockchain, in addition to any applicable Blockchain Transaction Fees.
3. Subscription Plans: Certain features and content within games are available only via a subscription plan, billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annual). Subscriptions provide full access to subscription features as long as they remain active.
4. Platform and Transaction Fees: Games such as Tennis Champs beta and Trickshot Blitz publicly launched on the platform, with blockchain transactions processed across the platform. The platform facilitated over 65 million cumulative blockchain transactions.

Direct peers

• Mythical Games: Mythical Games operates a Web3 gaming platform (Mythical Chain) with first-party titles like Blankos Block Party, directly mirroring Joyride's combination of in-house games plus a developer-facing blockchain platform serving mobile and casual gamers.
• Animoca Brands: Animoca Brands is a Web3 gaming conglomerate that both invests in and competes with Joyride, owning multiple blockchain game studios and a publishing platform targeting mobile-first on-chain games with token economies.
• Sky Mavis: Sky Mavis (creator of Axie Infinity) is a Web3-native game studio and Ronin-chain publisher with tokenized in-game economies, NFT assets, and a mobile-first player base — directly comparable to Joyride's Super Champs and World Casual Games franchises.
• Dapper Labs: Dapper Labs created the Flow Blockchain (Joyride's underlying chain) and publishes Web3 games like NBA Top Shot, sharing Joyride's Flow-based NFT marketplace, wallet, and developer platform model.
• Gala Games: Gala Games operates a Web3 gaming platform and node network with multiple mobile-accessible titles (Spider Tanks, etc.) and tokenized economies, structurally similar to Joyride's multi-franchise, token-driven platform approach.
• Forte Labs: Forte provides Web3-enabled infrastructure (wallets, token economies, compliance) to game publishers — a direct competitor to Joyride's Studiokit platform serving mobile developers seeking blockchain integration.

Emerging players

• Big Time Studios: Big Time Studios builds NFT-driven multiplayer action games with tokenized in-game economies, comparable to Joyride's Bullet League/Super Champs on-chain gaming offering but focused on PC rather than mobile.

Broad incumbents

• Zynga: Zynga is a leading mobile casual-game publisher (Words With Friends, CSR Racing) and was acquired by Take-Two, providing a benchmark for the scale and operational depth Joyride's first-party games aim to reach.
• Roblox: Roblox operates a user-generated content game platform with a creator economy, the closest large-scale analogue to Joyride's vision of a developer-facing platform that powers multiplayer mobile games.
• King: King (Activision Blizzard) is the casual mobile gaming incumbent behind Candy Crush and Bubble Witch, directly comparable to Joyride's World Casual Games franchise (Solitaire, Billiards, Blackjack) as a benchmark for casual-mobile unit economics.
