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 (MTG) repurchased 41,000 of its own class B shares between June 29 and July 3, 2026, under a share repurchase program initiated by its Board of Directors. On July 2, the Swedish group appointed Iwo Zakowski, a former marketeer for Supercell and Burger King, to lead marketing for its midcore studios, which include Plarium, InnoGames, Snowprint, Hutch, Ninja Kiwi, and PlaySimple. MTG states this portfolio represents Europe's largest collection of midcore studios. This followed MTG's repurchase of 70,000 own class B shares between June 22 and June 26, 2026, as part of the same share repurchase program.
