Astrocade announced $56 million in new funding to expand its AI-powered interactive entertainment platform that enables users to create and play games generated with artificial intelligence. The funding included a Series B round led by Sequoia Capital and a Series A round led by Sea, with participation from Google’s AI Futures Fund, NVIDIA, LG Technology Ventures, Dentsu Ventures, Conviction Embed, Chaac Ventures, Rogue VC, and additional investors.
According to the company, more than 20 million users have joined the platform within eight months of launch, generating hundreds of millions of gameplay sessions each month. Astrocade allows users to create interactive games and experiences using generative AI tools designed to turn ideas into playable content within minutes.
The company said the platform is intended to remove technical and financial barriers traditionally associated with game development by enabling users without coding experience to build and distribute games.
Astrocade was founded by brothers Amir Sadeghian and Ali Sadeghian, Iranian-American entrepreneurs raised across four continents. Although both founders were lifelong gamers, their backgrounds were rooted in artificial intelligence and mathematics rather than traditional game development. Amir earned a PhD from Stanford University, while Ali previously worked as an AI researcher at Google. Both were also medalists in mathematics and informatics Olympiads.
The founders said their outsider perspective helped shape Astrocade as a new type of AI-native entertainment platform built from first principles.
The company said creators on the platform include people from a wide range of backgrounds, many of whom have never written code or worked in the gaming industry before. According to Astrocade, some creators are already generating thousands of dollars per month through games built on the platform.
The funding will support hiring, platform expansion, creator ecosystem development, and continued investment in generative AI technologies for interactive entertainment.
