GameClub curates a subscription library of premium App Store games, offering access to over 100 titles (around half available at launch) for $4.99 per month with a 30-day free trial. The service focuses on high-quality, previously released games that run without ads or in-app purchases and often includes titles that made Apple’s editorial lists. GameClub works with indie developers to relaunch older games—updating them to 64-bit, Retina assets and modern screen sizes—while using original code and design. At launch the library spans genres including Action, Puzzle, Adventure, RPG, Strategy and more, and the combined catalog has over 100 million collective downloads; additional titles will roll out weekly. Users download a central GameClub app that serves as the hub for browsing titles and editorial content; the company is not a cloud-gaming platform. Founded in 2018, the team includes industry veterans and the company says it plans to expand to Google Play, then PC and console, and to produce original content longer term; it is currently backed by $4.6M in funding. GameClub develops premium mobile game experiences, updating classic and indie titles for modern smartphones and tablets. The company offers a growing collection of high-quality games free of intrusive ads and microtransactions. Titles are designed for download to mobile devices and can be played anywhere with or without an internet connection. GameClub is currently live in soft launch on iOS smartphones and tablets in select test markets. Led by CEO and co-founder Dan Sherman, the company intends to use new funding to continue developing its games with a target to launch them in 2019. Its catalog includes Super Crate Box, Hook Champ, Hackycat, Gasketball, Legendary Wars, Incoboto, Sword of Fargoal, Space Miner, and Chopper 2.
