English publisher and developer Team17 bought the “rights and assets” of the chaotic golf simulator Golf with your friends for £ 12 million, according to a report by GamesIndustry.biz.
Golf with your friends is a long-tailed title that was launched at the beginning of access during 2016, but is still played and broadcast regularly. The game was officially launched in May 2020. Just like the title says, players get involved in an exciting round of golf. The complication is that every course was designed by someone who wants players to suffer. Additional mods can make the game even more wild, including changes like the golf ball becoming a golf square. The game’s success comes from this chaos; after players pass the sugary surface, they find a hilarious but frightening golf torture marathon.
“In the past two years, GWYF has shown strong consumer demand and mass market appeal, doubling its owner base and achieving success on several gaming platforms,” said Debbie Bestwick, CEO of Team17, in a press release, from according to GamesIndustry.biz. “GWYF is the type of IP that we believe is right for ownership, it is successful and proven, but it is still at the beginning of its journey. The Blacklight Interactive team can be sure that we will take good care of this incredible IP. “
