About iBLOXX Studios
iBLOXX Studios is a game development company in Dubai that makes multiplayer mobile games with blockchain features. Its legal entity is iBLOXX Studios DMCC. The studio is headquartered in the DMCC Free Zone, is a member of the DMCC Gaming Centre and takes part in the Dubai Program for Gaming 2033, according to Wamda.
The company was founded in 2021 by Domenik Maier, who is its founder and chief executive. A 2023 press release described iBLOXX Studios as the game development division of iBLOXX Group, which it called a Web3 incubator and market maker. That release said the studio builds blockchain games with the Unreal Engine and Unity.
Its main title is StrayShot, a third-person mobile shooter with Battle Royale, Team Deathmatch and Extraction modes. The game is set in a fictional region called Sierra Verde, where players act as mercenaries competing with each other and with a cartel led by El Fuego. It is designed to run on low-end devices, and its blockchain features are intended to give players verifiable ownership of selected in-game assets, which they can trade or transfer. As of February 2026 the game was in closed testing.
The studio's press release names Xsolla as a partner, and Wamda lists the Dubai Future Foundation, Xsolla and the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority as partners. iBLOXX showed StrayShot at Gamescom as part of the Dubai Pavilion.
In March 2023 a press release said PrimeXM, a provider of foreign exchange and crypto trading technology, led an investment of USD 5 million that valued the gaming division at USD 30 million after the money. In February 2026 iBLOXX Studios announced USD 5.4 million in new funding, which it said would go to marketing, global distribution, live operations, regular content updates and versions for other platforms including consoles. The release did not name the investors, and Wamda reported the amount as more than USD 5 million.
