A new analysis from the edtech investment firm Tyton finds that 2016 investments in game-based learning firms is on pace to grow 20 percent over 2015.
The research found that so far this year some 40 publicly disclosed deals have topped $248 million deals. Last year, by comparison the industry saw 93 investments or acquisitions that totaled $345 million for the entire year.
The firm published their findings in the attached infographic that includes the major deals and the total for the past four years that have reached a whopping $3.5 billion (although before you get TOO excited remember the $2.5 billion acquisition of Minecreaft-maker Mojang is a big old hunk of that).
Still, setting aside the behemoth Mojang deal, 2016 is currently on pace to be the best year for game-based learning firms.
