LOUD and SuperGaming Launch Prime Rush in Brazil, Bringing Battle Royale and Extraction Gameplay for Mobile
Prime Rush, a new mobile shooter combining battle royale survival with extraction-style gameplay, has officially launched in Brazil on the Google Play Store for Android and the App Store for iOS. Developed by SuperGaming in partnership with Spacecaps, the parent company of LOUD, the game has been built with direct feedback from Brazilian players and creators during its Closed Beta and Early Access phases.
Prime Rush introduces a unique twist to the traditional battle royale format. In addition to surviving until the end of the match, squads can secure an early victory by extracting Cosmium, a rare resource that spawns during the final circle. This dual win condition creates a match environment where squads must decide whether to outlast opponents in a final-circle finish or take a more tactical route to win through Cosmium extraction.
The game also features a flexible tactical ability system built for high-tempo mobile combat. Active Abilities such as DeadEye, Shield Dome, Super Speed, and Hunter’s Instinct allow players to approach matches through precision, defence, mobility, and intel respectively.
Speaking on this development Bruno Bittencourt, CEO of LOUD said, “Brazil has one of the most passionate gaming communities in the world, yet we’ve spent years 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.”
“Brazil has one of the most competitive mobile shooter audiences that we have seen, and from the start we wanted Prime Rush to be both authentic and accessible,” said Roby John, CEO and Co-founder of SuperGaming. “For us, that meant building a game that feels true to Brazil while also making sure it runs smoothly across a broad range of devices so more players can experience it the way it was meant to be played.”
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.

Season 1 Battle Pass: Street Legends
The Season 1 Battle Pass: Street Legends is also here, bringing a new lineup of rewards for players as they progress through the season. These include:
- New Avatars: Laura, Juliana, Rafael
- Weapon Skins: Subliminar, Grafitada, Suavidade, Firmeza, Raiz, Brabo, AK-BR7
- Melee Weapon: Chinela (Slipper)
- Vehicle Skin: Lenda Urbana
- Additional Rewards: Stickers, Dive Trails, Emotes, and Portraits
Prime Rush System Requirements
Powered by SuperPlatform, SuperGaming’s in-house tech-stack, Prime Rush currently supports Android 7 and above with 4GB RAM, as well as iOS 15 and above. Based on Early Access performance reports, the game delivers a stable 40 FPS on lower-end devices with recommended graphics settings, while mid to high-end devices can achieve up to 60 FPS.
This makes Prime Rush playable across a wide range of mobile devices, helping ensure that more players in Brazil can access the game on both Android and iOS.
SuperGaming is continuously optimizing Prime Rush to support more devices over time. Performance and visual fidelity may vary depending on hardware and user-selected graphics settings.

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.

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.

iGaming LATAM: SAGSE Leads the Agenda as Regulation Tightens and Operators Expand in Brazil
The iGaming industry in Latin America is experiencing an especially intense week — from Buenos Aires consolidating its position as a regional hub with SAGSE to regulatory movements that could completely reshape the Brazilian market.
At the same time, operators continue to expand their presence and strategies in the country, with Betnacional and Superbet standing out.
SAGSE reinforces its leadership and positions Buenos Aires as a gaming hub in Latin America
The main highlight of the week is, without a doubt, the latest edition of SAGSE (South American Gaming Suppliers Expo), one of the most traditional and relevant events in the Latin American gaming industry.
Held at the Hilton Buenos Aires in Puerto Madero — one of the city’s most strategic and sophisticated districts — the event once again positions itself as a key meeting point for executives, operators, and industry suppliers.
Since 1992, SAGSE has built its reputation as a true business hub. With over 30 editions, it has become a high-level networking platform where companies, technology, and strategic decision-making converge.
The most recent edition further reinforced this positioning.
According to Alan Burak, Vice President of Monografie — the company behind SAGSE — the overall assessment was highly positive:
“The show has been highly positive across all fronts.”
Attendance growth was one of the key indicators of success.
The event recorded a 25% increase compared to the previous year, reaching approximately 3,500 participants.
However, beyond volume, the quality of the audience stood out.
With more than 60% international attendees and a strong presence of C-level executives and decision-makers, SAGSE reinforces its profile as a business-driven event focused on high-value networking.
Over the two days, representatives from key markets such as Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and the Caribbean are participating, reflecting the growing integration of the Latin American ecosystem.
Another key highlight is the curated selection of exhibitors.
With more than 300 companies involved, the event showcases a comprehensive ecosystem that includes:
- sports betting operators
- technology providers
- payment solutions (including crypto and cashless)
- affiliate platforms
- retention and marketing tools
- compliance and responsible gaming solutions
Content also plays a central role.
The conferences address key industry topics such as:
- regulation and compliance
- digital transformation
- new payment methods
- player protection
- the future of responsible gaming
This approach reinforces SAGSE’s positioning as more than just a trade show — it is a platform for education, analysis, and strategic direction.
The closed and exclusive format is another differentiator.
By limiting access to qualified professionals, SAGSE ensures an environment focused on meaningful connections and real business opportunities.
Ultimately, the event acts as a barometer for the market.
And the message is clear: Latin America continues to grow, but with increasing complexity and regulatory demands.
Regulation in Brazil: Pressure on the Growth Model
While SAGSE reflects the region’s potential, regulatory developments highlight the challenges — particularly in Brazil.
The focus is on Bill 1172/2026, introduced by Congresswoman Tabata Amaral, which proposes a total ban on betting advertising in the digital environment.
The measure covers:
- websites
- applications
- social media
- video platforms
If approved, the impact would be structural.
The current user acquisition model — heavily reliant on performance marketing and paid traffic — would be nearly dismantled.
Companies would have to rely exclusively on organic traffic.
This would effectively end:
- targeted advertising
- large-scale acquisition campaigns
- content boosting
- algorithm-driven strategies
Additionally, communication on owned channels would also be restricted.
The bill requires:
- warning messages
- financial risk alerts
- responsible gambling content
The justification is centered on public health.
The proposal references the World Health Organization (WHO), linking gambling advertising to debt and psychological disorders.
Government Opposes Total Ban
Despite legislative pressure, the Brazilian government has taken a different stance.
The Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA) argues that a total ban could have the opposite effect.
According to the regulator, advertising is essential for distinguishing legal operators from illegal ones.
Without it, users could be pushed toward the black market.
This highlights a key point: Brazil’s regulatory framework is still evolving, seeking a balance between consumer protection and market sustainability.
Argentina Blocks Polymarket and Tightens Control
Meanwhile, Argentina has taken concrete enforcement action.
A Buenos Aires court ordered the blocking of Polymarket, one of the world’s leading crypto-based prediction market platforms.
The decision includes:
- blocking the website nationwide
- removing apps from Google and Apple stores
- technical intervention at the ISP level
The main argument was lack of control.
Authorities stated that the platform operated as a disguised betting system, without identity or age verification.
The case intensified following suspicions of insider trading, after unusual activity linked to inflation data before its official release.
A global trend
This is not an isolated case.
Polymarket already faces restrictions in several European countries, signaling a broader global trend toward tighter regulation.
In Brazil, the issue is already under review.
The SPA has confirmed it is analyzing this type of platform, suggesting further regulatory developments ahead.
Innovation and Positioning in the Sector
Despite regulatory pressure, the industry continues to evolve.
The EDScript hackathon, promoted by Esportes da Sorte, aims to drive innovation through the development of new technological solutions.
Meanwhile, the Kaizen Foundation announced a social initiative in partnership with TETO Brasil, focused on building 120 homes for vulnerable communities.
These initiatives show a sector seeking to balance growth with social responsibility.
Brazil: Betnacional and Superbet expand strategies
On the commercial front, two operators stood out:
Betnacional strengthens its presence in football
The company announced:
- master sponsorship of Athletic
- expansion of its agreement with Sport
- investment in women’s football
The strategy focuses on diversification and long-term brand positioning.
Superbet Targets New Audiences
Superbet announced Kelvin “K9” Oliveira as a brand ambassador within the Kings League ecosystem.
The company is aiming to connect with younger audiences through digital entertainment and content creators.
This reflects a broader shift in iGaming marketing strategies.
This week provides a clear snapshot of the iGaming landscape in Latin America.
On one hand, there is growth, professionalization, and regional integration.
On the other, increasing regulatory pressure and the need for adaptation.
Companies that can balance expansion, compliance, and innovation will lead the next phase of the market.
The message is straightforward: the future of iGaming in LATAM will be defined not only by growth, but by the ability to navigate an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

La industria del iGaming en América Latina vive una semana especialmente intensa, desde la consolidación de Buenos Aires como hub regional con SAGSE hasta movimientos regulatorios que podrían redefinir por completo el mercado brasileño.
En paralelo, los operadores continúan expandiendo su presencia y estrategia en el país, con destaque para Betnacional y Superbet.
SAGSE reafirma su liderazgo y consolida a Buenos Aires como hub del gaming en América Latina
El principal destaque de la semana es, sin dudas, la realización de SAGSE (South American Gaming Suppliers Expo), uno de los eventos más tradicionales y relevantes de la industria del juego en América Latina.
Realizado en el Hilton Buenos Aires, en Puerto Madero —uno de los polos más estratégicos y sofisticados de la ciudad—, el evento vuelve a posicionarse como un punto de encuentro clave para ejecutivos, operadores y proveedores del sector.
Desde 1992, SAGSE ha construido su reputación como un verdadero centro de negocios.
Con más de 30 ediciones, se ha consolidado como una plataforma de conexión de alto nivel, donde convergen empresas, tecnología y decisiones estratégicas.
La edición más reciente reforzó este posicionamiento.
Según Alan Burak, vicepresidente de Monografie —empresa organizadora del evento—, el balance es ampliamente positivo:
“La feria está siendo altamente positiva en todos sus frentes.”
El crecimiento en la asistencia fue uno de los principales indicadores.
El evento registra un aumento del 25% respecto al año anterior, alcanzando aproximadamente 3.500 participantes.
Sin embargo, más relevante que el volumen fue la calidad del público.
Con más del 60% de asistentes internacionales y una fuerte presencia de ejecutivos C-level y tomadores de decisiones, SAGSE reafirma su perfil como un evento orientado a negocios reales y networking de alto valor.
Participan en estos dos días representantes de mercados clave como Brasil, Chile, Colombia, México, Perú y el Caribe, reflejando la creciente integración del ecosistema latinoamericano.
Otro punto destacado es la curaduría de los expositores.
Con más de 300 empresas involucradas, el evento presenta un ecosistema completo que incluye:
-operadores de apuestas deportivas
-proveedores tecnológicos
-soluciones de pago (incluyendo crypto y cashless)
-plataformas de afiliados
-herramientas de retención y marketing
-soluciones de compliance y juego responsable
Además, el contenido tiene un rol central.
Las conferencias abordan temas clave como: -regulación y compliance, transformación digital, nuevos medios de pago, protección al jugador, -future del juego responsable.
Este enfoque refuerza el posicionamiento de SAGSE como algo más que una feria: un espacio de formación, análisis y dirección estratégica del sector.
El formato cerrado y exclusivo también es diferencial.
Al limitar el acceso a profesionales calificados, SAGSE garantiza un entorno enfocado en negocios concretos y conexiones relevantes.
En definitiva, el evento funciona como un termómetro del mercado.
Y el mensaje es claro: América Latina sigue creciendo, pero con mayor complejidad y exigencia regulatoria.
Regulación en Brasil: presión sobre el modelo de crecimiento
Si SAGSE reflejó el potencial del mercado, las noticias regulatorias evidenciaron los desafíos — especialmente en Brasil.
El foco estuvo en el Proyecto de Ley 1172/2026, presentado por la diputada Tabata Amaral, que propone una prohibición total de la publicidad de apuestas en el entorno digital.
La medida abarca: sitios web, aplicaciones, redes sociales, plataformas de video
De aprobarse, el impacto sería estructural.
El modelo actual de adquisición de usuarios, basado en marketing de performance y tráfico pago, quedaría prácticamente desmantelado.
Las empresas pasarían a depender exclusivamente del tráfico orgánico.
Esto implicaría el fin de:
- anuncios segmentados
- campañas de adquisición masiva
- impulsión de contenido
- estrategias algorítmicas
Además, la comunicación en canales propios también sería restringida.
El proyecto exige:
- mensajes de advertencia
- alertas sobre pérdidas financieras
- contenidos de prevención del juego compulsivo
La justificación se centra en la salud pública.
El texto utiliza argumentos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), asociando la publicidad de apuestas con el endeudamiento y trastornos psicológicos.
El Gobierno se opone a la prohibición total
A pesar del avance legislativo, el Gobierno brasileño mostró una postura contraria.
La Secretaría de Premios y Apuestas (SPA) sostiene que prohibir la publicidad podría tener un efecto inverso.
Según el organismo, la comunicación comercial es clave para diferenciar operadores legales de ilegales.
Sin publicidad, el usuario podría ser empujado hacia el mercado clandestino.
Esto evidencia que el modelo regulatorio brasileño aún está en construcción, buscando equilibrio entre control y viabilidad económica.
Argentina bloquea Polymarket y endurece el control
En paralelo, Argentina avanzó con medidas concretas.
La Justicia de Buenos Aires ordenó el bloqueo de Polymarket, una de las principales plataformas de mercados predictivos basados en criptomonedas.
La decisión incluye: bloqueo del sitio web, eliminación de apps en Google y Apple, intervención técnica a nivel de proveedores de internet, El argumento central fue la falta de control.
Según las autoridades, la plataforma operaba como un sistema de apuestas encubierto, sin verificación de identidad ni control de edad.
El caso se agravó tras sospechas de uso para insider trading, luego de movimientos atípicos vinculados a datos de inflación antes de su publicación oficial.
Una tendencia global
No es un caso aislado.
Polymarket ya enfrenta restricciones en Europa, y el movimiento indica una tendencia global hacia mayor regulación.
Para Brasil, el tema ya está en análisis.
La propia SPA confirmó que estudia este tipo de plataformas, lo que anticipa futuros debates regulatorios.
Innovación y posicionamiento en el sector
A pesar del contexto regulatorio, el sector sigue avanzando.
El hackathon EDScript, promovido por Esportes da Sorte, busca impulsar innovación con desarrollo de soluciones tecnológicas.
Por otro lado, la Kaizen Foundation anunció una iniciativa social junto a TETO Brasil, con la construcción de 120 viviendas para comunidades vulnerables.
Estas acciones muestran un sector que busca equilibrar crecimiento con responsabilidad social.
Brasil: Betnacional y Superbet avanzan en estrategia
En el plano comercial, dos operadores destacaron:
Betnacional fortalece presencia en el fútbol
La compañía anunció:
-patrocinio máster del Athletic
-ampliación del acuerdo con Sport
-inversión en el fútbol femenino
La estrategia apunta a diversificación y posicionamiento de marca a largo plazo.
Superbet apuesta por nuevas audiencias
Superbet anunció a Kelvin “K9” Oliveira como embajador, en el contexto de la Kings League.
La empresa busca conectar con audiencias jóvenes a través del entretenimiento digital y creadores de contenido.
Es una señal clara de cómo el marketing en iGaming está evolucionando.
La semana deja una imagen clara del momento del iGaming en América Latina.
Por un lado, crecimiento, profesionalización e integración regional.
Por otro, mayor presión regulatoria y necesidad de adaptación.
Las empresas que logren equilibrar expansión, compliance e innovación serán las que lideren el próximo ciclo del mercado.
El mensaje es directo: el futuro del iGaming en LATAM será definido tanto por su crecimiento como por su capacidad de adaptarse a un entorno cada vez más complejo.
