Live Tech Games secures £1million investment to pioneer new wave of mobile entertainment
Live Tech Games has just announced it has closed a second successful six-digit funding round, with prominent business Angel Investors.
‘Raising investment in one lockdown was a challenge and we never expected to have to do it for a second round. We saw so much promise for the future of Live Tech Games in the beta launch of our first app and we were delighted our investors felt the same. The early success points towards a growing commercial opportunity in the B2B and media sectors and this incredible investment will allow us to reinforce the potential Live Tech Games has to be a leading industry pioneer.’ says Nathan Moore, CEO and Co-Founder of Live Tech Games.
Live Tech Games is a unique platform that combines mobile entertainment and live gaming tournaments, on an exclusive as well as a national scale. It fills the gap in the mobile gaming industry for live, light-hearted games; competitive but inclusive; commitment-free and with the capacity for high reward. Its first app Roshambo Live thrilled UK players with its simple but iconic concept: live, knock-out rounds of Rock Paper Scissors, beating out opponents for the chance to win £1,000. Free to play and taking just five minutes, Roshambo Live has brought excitement and adrenaline to players up and down a country in lockdown.
With an unexpected year of lockdowns, Live Tech Games pivoted its offering to provide private, company-specific games. HR departments have used Roshambo Live to connect with workforces whilst they work from home, and pubs and bars are already signing up to host private Roshambo Live games in their venues as we start to move out of lockdown. The unique capability of the technology to offer both a nationwide game for thousands of players, and private games that are specific to venues and offices, sets Live Tech Games leagues above other studios launching this year.
Currently relanching Roshambo Live following the open beta last year, the initial player stats have been extremely positive showing great user engagement and feedback, with the app reaching #3 in the App Store charts within just a week of its relaunch. The app grew steadily, proving much more popular than anticipated in the open beta stage and organically creating a dedicated and thriving community of Roshambo Live players. Whilst it began as a competitive live gaming experience with high rewards, Roshambo Live has also opened up a space for connection and a socially distanced thrill throughout lockdown. With its standalone technology for live, knock-out tournament-style rounds of simple, family-friendly games, Roshambo Live pairs players up across the country making it possible to connect with family and friends from a safe distance. Challenging other households and comparing scores on weekly boards has proven a great way to connect across lockdowns and introduce games to the ‘non-gamers’.
Live Tech Games was created by Co-CEOs and Founders Nathan Moore and Samuel Worsley after leaving Microsoft to build their own business, less than two years ago. At Microsoft they both gained invaluable experience in software and managing tech development teams, and brought this into their creation of Live Tech Games, a platform focused on delivering B2B and B2C live entertainment experiences for the nation.

LOUD and SuperGaming Launch Prime Rush in Brazil, Bringing Battle Royale and Extraction Gameplay for Mobile
Prime Rush, a new mobile shooter blending battle royale survival with extraction-style mechanics, has officially launched in Brazil on the Google Play for Android and the App Store for iOS. Developed by SuperGaming in collaboration with Spacecaps—the parent company of LOUD—the game has been shaped by direct input from Brazilian players and creators throughout its Closed Beta and Early Access phases.
Prime Rush introduces a fresh twist on the traditional battle royale formula. Beyond simply being the last squad standing, players can secure victory early by extracting Cosmium, a rare resource that appears during the final circle. This dual win condition forces squads to choose between outlasting opponents or adopting a more tactical approach to secure extraction.
The game also features a dynamic tactical ability system designed for fast-paced mobile combat. Active abilities such as DeadEye, Shield Dome, Super Speed, and Hunter’s Instinct allow players to approach matches with different strategies, focusing on precision, defense, mobility, or intelligence.
Bruno Bittencourt, CEO of LOUD, said:
“We’ve always believed Brazil has one of the most passionate gaming communities in the world, yet for years we’ve been playing games that weren’t built with us in mind. Prime Rush is a game created for Brazilian players, shaped daily by the communities we’ve built over the past decade. We’ve been listening to them every single day. It’s a game that finally feels like home.”
Roby John, CEO and Co-founder of SuperGaming, added:
“Brazil has one of the most competitive mobile shooter audiences we’ve seen, and from the beginning we wanted Prime Rush to be both authentic and accessible. That meant building a game that feels true to Brazil while ensuring it runs smoothly across a wide range of devices, so more players can experience it as intended.”
Set on the island of Maré, the game’s main battlefield supports its battle royale extraction format. It also introduces a Mini TDM mode (Favela)—a fast-paced 4v4 mode designed for quick, high-intensity firefights on the go.
At launch, players can choose from a roster of Brazilian heroes including Juliana, Rafael, Miguel, Rogério, Dos Santos, Julia, and Gustavo, with deep customization options available. Weapon personalization is enhanced through Evo-X skins, featuring upgradeable visuals, multiple Chromas, unique animations, custom sound effects, and distinctive combat feedback elements.
Prime Rush also debuts with several limited-time modes such as DeadEye Rush, Pants in the Air, and Weapon Roulette, offering short, action-packed sessions beyond the core gameplay.
The game launches alongside its first Ranked Season, where players can progress through tiers including Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Champion, Legend, and Cosmic.

Season 1 Battle Pass: Street Legends introduces a range of rewards, including:

- Melee Weapon: Chinela (Slipper)
- Vehicle Skin: Lenda Urbana
- Additional items such as stickers, dive trails, emotes, and portraits
Powered by SuperGaming’s in-house SuperPlatform, the game supports Android 7+ devices with 4GB RAM and iOS 15+. Early Access data shows stable performance at 40 FPS on lower-end devices, with up to 60 FPS on mid- to high-end hardware, ensuring accessibility across a broad range of devices in Brazil.
SuperGaming continues to optimize Prime Rush for additional devices, with performance and visual quality varying depending on hardware and player settings.

The battle takes place on the island of Maré, the setting for Prime Rush’s battle royale extraction experience. Prime Rush also includes a Mini TDM mode (Favela). This is a quick 4v4 mode designed for shorter, high-intensity firefights on the go.
At launch, the game introduces a lineup of new Brazilian heroes including Juliana, Rafael, Miguel, Rogério, Dos Santos, Julia, and Gustavo, with character customization allowing players to personalize their experience. Players can also customize their weapon experience with the new Evo-X skins. These are upgradeable gun skins featuring three switchable Chromas, enhanced visuals and VFX, unique inspect and reload animations, custom fire SFX, unique kill feed treatment, and distinct muzzle and tracer effects.
Prime Rush goes live with multiple limited-time modes including DeadEye Rush, Pants in the Air, and Weapon Roulette, offering players shorter duration matches for quick jump-in and jump-out between sessions beyond its core battle royale extraction gameplay.
The game launches with its first Ranked Season, allowing players to climb through Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Champion, Legend, and Cosmic.
