Lifelike Studios has done a great job optimizing the game for our platform and we look forward to working with them to take Esports to all corners of the country.

Shubh Malhotra, Co-Founder, Mobile Premier League.

MPL has been our first choice for collaboration from the beginning. With the opportunity of exclusively launching on MPL (for real money awards), I am happy that we overcame many challenges by deep collaboration between both our teams. The biggest challenge was to reduce the size of the game from 1.5 GB to 450 MB for MPL users while still being able to provide the true Rogue Heist experience. As this is a live game, we plan on providing constant updates to keep MPL users engaged.
