Yodo1 Games has launched IPVerse, a platform designed to help developers choose smarter IP collaborations using real data instead of gut feelings. The tool aggregates global and regional metrics to cut through the noise of fragmented information and guesswork.
In-game collaborations have surged 280% since 2020. That growth means more chances for live service games to hook players, but also more ways to screw up. Mismatched partnerships can stall player growth and tank retention, so picking the right IP matters more than it used to.

How IPVerse works
IPVerse pulls together live and historical data from over 80,000 in-game events, 20,000 brands, and 15,000 games. It spans mobile, console, and PC, delivering both worldwide trends and region-specific breakdowns (including dedicated Chinese market coverage).
The platform flags high-performing IPs and surfaces emerging brand opportunities. Developers can cross-reference market and social metrics, while AI-driven suggestions tailor collaboration ideas to individual game needs.
A shift towards data-driven collaboration
Eliyar Eziz, product lead at Yodo1 Games, said IPVerse streamlines a process that's traditionally been messy. "Studios prioritize player retention, making strategic IP partnerships crucial for growth. Traditionally, decisions have depended on intuition and scattered data, leading to costly mistakes," Eziz explained. "IPVerse provides a comprehensive view of global trends and specialised regional insights, enabling developers to identify ideal partnerships confidently."
The platform is free to try, letting studios test its data tools and recommendations without upfront cost.
Looking ahead for IP collaborations
As the games industry keeps expanding, data-driven tools like IPVerse could become standard for how developers approach in-game collaborations. With rising interest in web3 and cross-platform integration, clear metrics and analytics matter more for studios chasing sustainable growth and player engagement.
