Press release:
Istanbul, Türkiye (November 13, 2026) | Just weeks after its initial launch on Steam, BOMBANANA! — the three-player co-op party game developed by Türkiye-based Lefto Studio and published by TARK Games — has doubled its already-impressive previous milestone to reach two million copies sold on Steam. Furthermore, the game has also recently surpassed 20 million plays for its Roblox iteration, becoming the first Steam-native party game to launch an official, purpose-built adaptation for the world’s largest user-generated gaming ecosystem.

Today, the explosive fun reaches an even larger audience, with BOMBANANA! launching on PlayStation 5 and XBOX One and Series X|S

“As our first officially published title, we’ve been thrilled with the success of BOMBANANA!,” said TARK Games Co-Founder, Ilker Ergen.

“Lefto Studio is a talented young team that deserves every ounce of the success they’ve generated. The future of gaming is the people, and we at TARK Games are committed to investing in them. I’m proud to call Lefto Studio a trusted partner, and believe me when I say, this is only the beginning.”

BOMBANANA! has continued to win over scores of players with its mix of clever player handicaps, a palpable sense of panic, humor, and sheer replayability. The game’s success is a bold statement of intent from TARK Games, with the publisher looking to build on its debut title by empowering distinctive, independent teams from Türkiye and beyond, providing them with the financing, publishing infrastructure, and international reach they require to compete in the global PC and console market.

To speak to Ufuk Girit, the 24-year-old founder of Lefto Studio, or Ilker Ergen and Ibrahim Yildirim, founders of TARK Games, reach out and we’ll be happy to connect.
