Tencent Reportedly Targets SuperPlay as Playtika Weighs Sale

Tencent is reportedly in talks to acquire SuperPlay from Playtika. The proposed deal could value the Disney Solitaire developer at between $1 billion USD and $1.5B. Calcalist reported the negotiations on July 20, 2026.

The talks come less than two years after Playtika acquired SuperPlay for $690M in cash in November 2024. The agreement also included up to $1.25B in performance-based payments covering 2025 through 2027.

SuperPlay generated $573M in revenue in 2025, around 67% above the baseline used to calculate the earnout. Playtika then raised its estimated future payments from $734M at the end of 2025 to $829M in the first quarter (Q1) of 2026.

SuperPlay's Growth Raises Playtika's Financial Obligations

Calcalist described the situation as SuperPlay's "rapid success" becoming a financial burden for Playtika. Under the reported transaction, Tencent could assume future obligations to SuperPlay's founders. That could relieve Playtika of hundreds of millions of dollars in potential payments.

Founded by former Playtika employees, SuperPlay operates Domino Dreams, Dice Dreams, and Disney Solitaire. Disney Solitaire became a major growth driver following its 2025 launch. 

Disney Solitaire has surpassed $300M in gross player spending across Google Play and the App Store, based on cited AppMagic estimates. The figure excludes advertising and direct-to-consumer (D2C) revenue.

The three games have generated nearly $1B combined since 2019, according to AppMagic estimates. In the latest 30-day figures cited, Disney Solitaire generated about $20M. However, Dice Dreams brought in $9.8M, while Domino Dreams generated $6M.

Potential Tencent Deal Comes as Playtika Weighs its Future

The talks come as Playtika faces about $2.3B in debt maturities in 2028 and 2029. The company also reported a $309M loss in Q4 of 2025, largely due to acquisition-liability revaluations. It later suspended its dividend and began exploring "strategic alternatives" in April 2026.

Despite those pressures, Playtika reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of $745M, up 10% year-over-year (YoY). It also raised its full-year revenue forecast to $2.75B - $2.85B and adjusted EBITDA guidance to $750M - $770M.

A sale could ease Playtika's financial obligations. However, it would also mean parting with a major business that has driven its expansion from social casino games into the casual gaming market.
