About PearFiction Studios

Company overview, history and positioning

PearFiction Studios is a Montreal, Quebec-based B2B iGaming slot studio founded in 2014 as a casual mobile-games house, before pivoting in 2016 into real-money HTML5 slot development for the regulated online casino market. The studio keeps its entire production chain - concepts, gameplay, math models, art, animation and sound - in-house at its Old Montreal loft office. Its first social-casino release, PowerUp Slots, reached #5 in the US iTunes casino category in 2015, and the studio entered Microgaming's Quickfire network in 2017.

Following the May 2022 Games Global acquisition of Microgaming's distribution business, PearFiction is now an exclusive content-creation partner of Games Global. The catalogue has grown to 48 commercial HTML5 titles, headlined by flagship Chicago Gold, a 1920s mafia-themed slot, the Blazing Mammoth franchise, the Alpha Gods series, the 3 Lucky Hippos family and the Treasures of Kilauea trilogy. Several titles integrate Games Global's progressive jackpots, including Mega Moolah and WowPot.

PearFiction was nominated in two categories at the International Gaming Awards 2026, and its new Pots O' Loot slot launched on the Games Global platform in November 2025. Led by founder and CEO Ajay Natarajan and head of studio Janine Copperstone, the team draws talent from Belarus, Estonia, Spain, Ukraine, India and beyond, maintaining a quality-over-quantity release cadence of 6-10 titles per year.

Vision
