The hugely popular Homescapes game is available from 10 March to AppGallery gamers across the globe, with European gamers to receive an 80% discount offer for a limited time.

Described as the most heart-warming game from the Playrix series, Homescapes will be available to Huawei AppGallery users around the world from 10 March onwards.

Homescapes, famous for its walk-through gameplay which invites players to renovate an old family home by completing increasingly interesting puzzles, is offering great gifts to celebrate its launch on AppGallery.

Players can claim a one-time EUR4.50 coupon which gives them an 80% discount off the players’ favorite Golden Ticket season pass. Exclusive gift packs worth EUR5.49 are also available when playing through AppGallery, meaning three hours of free lives for unlimited fun, 10,000 coins, and a two-times stars multiplier are up for grabs. Exclusive to European AppGallery players, the promotions are available from 12 to 17 March.

In addition to the exciting offers available exclusively to AppGallery gamers, Playrix is offering all Homescapes fans, including those without Huawei devices, the chance to claim an extra 35% off starter and apprentice packs.

Playrix fans across the globe can expect the familiar match-3 puzzle restoration challenge they know and love – as well as countless new features to explore, including unique boosters and explosive combinations. Set in a historic mansion on a verdant street, players will need to restore, renovate, and decorate each room selecting their favorite items and furniture, to unlock new chapters and unveil an exciting family story along the way. Players will have access to thousands of design options, from more conservative to more funky styles, to create their very own dream house, allowing them maximum freedom to explore their creativity through hours of interactive gameplay.

“We are delighted to be able to offer the popular Homescapes game to more gamers around the world through our partnership with AppGallery. Following our successful launch of Gardenscapes, we are excited to see the response from Huawei gamers and look forward to hearing their feedback,” said Maxim Kirilenko, Business Development Director at Playrix.

Recently launched Gardenscapes was the first of the Playrix Scape series to debut on AppGallery, achieving over 213 million downloads worldwide and praise from gamers for its interactive puzzle gameplay. Following its popularity on the platform and positive feedback, Homescapes is expected to continue to drive that momentum.

Huawei Offers Technology Support to Partners

As one of the fastest-growing global app marketplaces, Huawei’s partnership with Playrix has provided the strong operational support needed for each launch – releasing both Gardenscapes and Homescapes within just a few months. Homescapes is another quality example of how a game can leverage Huawei’s HMS Core, integrating with the IAP kit to ensure a seamless experience for both users and developers.

“The support and guidance that our team has received from Huawei throughout the process of launching on AppGallery has been great and we are pleased to be able to offer another popular match-3 puzzle game because of it,” said Maxim Kirilenko, Business Development Director at Playrix.

On the eve of SiGMA Americas, the largest iGaming show in the region, SOFTSWISS, a leading global software supplier with 15 years of experience, introduced the racing legend Rubens Barrichello as its Non-Executive Director in Latin America. Local press, influencers, and industry representatives attended the unveiling event, expressing broad interest in SOFTSWISS as the company actively expands its presence in the region.

During the official introduction, Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, and Rubens Barrichello, Non-Executive Director in Latin America at SOFTSWISS, shared the company’s plans for the Brazilian market, commented on the local gambling regulations, and answered questions about Barrichello’s role within SOFTSWISS.

Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, expressed his excitement about the significant milestone, saying: “This marks a thrilling chapter for us. It’s an extraordinary day for me personally as I’ve been a Formula 1 fan since 1994, my teenage years. Welcoming Rubens to our team feels like a dream come true.”

Rubens Barrichello, now serving as SOFTSWISS’ Non-Executive Director in Latin America, highlighted his deep connection to the company’s values. “I am new to this role but no stranger to challenges. In racing, the goal is always to win, but knowing when to step back and why things didn’t go as planned is important. I see responsible gaming in a similar manner. It is about knowing your limits and pushing forward to improve. I’m here to bring that mindset to our team.”

In light of the ever-evolving news about gambling regulation, Montik commented: “We are looking forward to the final version of the Brazilian law, expected to be unveiled this July. Understanding the regulatory landscape will guide our efforts to adapt to software requirements and bring solutions to the market. We aim to collaborate closely with local operators and businesses, empowering them with robust software tools tailored to their needs.”

Addressing security concerns, Ivan Montik emphasised: “Ensuring the security of our software solution has always been paramount. It’s been a core strength for us since the beginning. Throughout our journey in the industry, we have maintained a clean record with no cases of software hacks, of which I am proud. Our software undergoes rigorous testing by international laboratories like GLI, meeting many cybersecurity standards. We not only meet but exceed these requirements because fraudulent activities and hacker attacks constantly target the gaming industry.”

Rubens Barrichello’s appointment as Non-Executive Director in Latin America signifies a pivotal strategic step for SOFTSWISS, particularly in Brazil’s rapidly expanding market. With projections from TGM Research indicating that by 2026, Brazil’s iGaming industry could yield gross revenues of 2.3 billion euro, potentially accounting for 1% of Brazil’s GDP, which stands at 1.5 trillion euro.
