Playio Research: A New Era in Mobile Game Analytics
Spice Smart, a leading player in mobile game market research, has officially launched
Playio Research, in collaboration with PLAYIO. This revolutionary service, tailored specifically for mobile games, provides invaluable insights using actual gameplay data from its user panel in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan.
The Genesis of Playio Research
In April 2026, Spice Smart and PLAYIO solidified their strategic partnership, aiming to enhance research offerings in the gaming app domain. By merging the user panel of Playio, a robust gaming platform managed by PLAYIO, with the wealth of knowledge that Spice Smart accumulated in game market research and operational support, they developed

Key Features of Playio Research
1. No Pre-screening Required
One of the standout features of
Playio Research is the elimination of the need for pre-screening participants. By harnessing the Playio user panel, the service ensures that only actual game players are included in studies without the hassle of self-reported assessments. This leads to more accurate and relevant participant selection based on genuine gaming activity.
2. Precision through Gameplay Data
The service delves even deeper by utilizing actual gameplay data to refine user targeting. Researchers can select users based on specific game titles, genres, playtime, and purchase history, leading to studies that are grounded in real player behaviors rather than reliance on self-reported metrics. This means that queries and insights generated through
Playio Research are likely to be more accurate and reliable.
3. Research Opportunities Across Three Markets
Playio Research operates across Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, benefiting from a cumulative member base surpassing 2.4 million and over 5 million downloads. This broad reach enables comparative studies between markets, providing a unique perspective that is advantageous for developers looking to tailor their games for different audiences.
