In addition to video games, the site also offers electronic goods, such as products from the Tamagotchi series.
The company announced its rebrand to Playasia and new logo in September 2018.[2]
Funding of game development
[edit | edit source]Playasia had funded the development of side-scrolling shooter Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer.[3][4]
