TagsWeekly News,
This week brings plenty of good news from the Finnish Game Industry. Amistech Games’ My Winter Car continues its strong performance with around 377k copies sold and gross revenue of roughly $4.7m to date, while Hill Climb Racing has reached an impressive two billion downloads and is still climbing. Neogames’ Suvi Latva and Jari-Pekka Kaleva were waving the Finnish flag and taking the pulse of the industry at Pocket Gamer Connects London. Finnish game developers community strength and support is visible in action as Finnish studio BIT ODD donates professional drawing tablets to students, junior developers and rising artists and opportunities keep coming as Supercell opens applications for the Spring 2026 cohort of Supercell AI Lab. There is also a milestone worth celebrating as the Finnish games industry community group on Facebook, PlayFinland, turns 18 years old. And finally, a reminder for students: registration for the Bit1 student game competition is open until Sunday 22 February, with a few weeks still left to polish your game to mint condition.
