Elena Masolova founded Pixonic in 2009. The firm's initial focus was on the development and publishing of games for social platforms.[2] Despite the success of Domovyata, one of Pixonic's first social network games, the company decided to branch out into games for mobile devices. In 2011, Pixonic received a $5 million investment as part of its "C" round,[3] after which it launched its first mobile game – Robinson. The project went on to become Pixonic's first success in the mobile segment.

In 2013, Philipp Gladkov became Pixonic's CEO, immediately making a series of crucial decisions, among which were the firm's internal restructuring and exclusive focus on mobile games. In the same year, Pixonic launched War Robots – one of its most lucrative projects to date, with monthly revenue more than $1,3 mln.[4]

On 30 September 2016, Pixonic joined forces with Mail.ru Group, who acquired 100% of the company's shares for $30 mln.[5] The company upholds that it will maintain its status as an independent brand after the acquisition.
