Hutch Games

What Hutch Games does

Hutch Games is a privately-held mobile game studio founded in 2011 and headquartered in London, with additional studios in Dundee, UK and Nova Scotia, Canada. The company develops and publishes free-to-play mobile games in the racing and automotive genre, operating three flagship titles: F1 Clash (a Formula 1 licensed competitive racing game), Top Drives (a car collection and racing game), and Matchcreek Motors (a hybrid car restoration and match-3 puzzle game launched worldwide in March 2025). Hutch differentiates through proprietary hybrid game mechanics and licensed IP, most notably an exclusive Formula 1 partnership for F1 Clash, and maintains registered trademarks for "Hutch Games," "Hutch," "Hutch device," and "HutchTV."

The studio distributes globally through Apple App Store and Google Play under a product-led growth motion, monetizing through freemium in-app purchases (virtual currency, premium content, gameplay accelerators) and in-app advertising (interstitials, rewarded videos, banners). Its customer base is end-user mobile gamers, segmented horizontally with no disclosed enterprise or B2B revenue. Marketing is concentrated on content marketing via the company blog, organic social media, and a careers-focused funnel that emphasizes the studio's workplace culture.

Hutch has been recognized as one of GamesIndustry.biz's Best Places to Work for four consecutive years (2020-2023) and was included in the Sunday Times Tech Track 100 in 2020. The company has raised $5.5 million in a single disclosed funding round in February 2017 led by BACKED VC and Index Ventures, and has otherwise operated without further external capital disclosures, suggesting the studio has been largely self-funded through operating cash flow.
