Overwolf is proud to be leading the charge in empowering the next generation of game creators. So far this year, the Overwolf has paid out over $300 million to in-game creators, validating the scale, sustainability, and real-world impact of UGC in gaming’s evolving economy (GamesBeat).
At GamesBeat Next, Overwolf's CEO Uri Marchand took the stage to discuss how user-generated content (UGC) has evolved from a “side quest” into a core growth engine for the games industry. During the panel, Uri explored how studios are embracing ecosystems like Roblox, Epic/UEFN, and Overwolf/CurseForge to reinvent how UGC experiences are built, distributed, and monetized.
Joining him on stage were:
- Alex Seropian, CEO of Look North World: Overwolf’s partners in creating premium mods for ARK:SA, including Paramount's Teenage Mutant Ninjas Turtles and Hasbro's Power Rangers.
- Zachary Letter, CEO of Wonder Works Studio.
Moderated by Dean Takahashi, Editorial Director, GamesBeat.
