Nick Rish shared this1.81 trillion photographs are taken each year, a flood born from the rise of phone cameras in every hand. Yet as I walk through my home, each wall quietly adorned with Teresa Rish (Photographer) photographs, I'm reminded that most photos show pictures of what’s there— she captures what lives within. While pictures frame the perfect plate, she preserves the communal nature. Where one might post the art atop a cappuccino, she finds beauty in the balance of emptied cups, in the stillness after the warmth. Where children might pose before a vast ocean, she finds joy in the unguarded moment between them. In place of the Vatican’s grandeur or a Pope’s procession, she seeks the hush—the sacred pause where power and faith quietly dwell. And while many are drawn to Kauai’s sweeping coastline, she turns her lens toward its vibrant creatures, letting its color speak in stark contrast. In a world where AI spins images from code and prompt, I find solace in the work of human creativity and the eyes that see what machines may not find interesting— grace, spirit, and truth. Art, alive and breathing, on my walls. Sony Electronics

Nick Rish shared thisNick Rish shared thisBluey’s taking over Fruit Ninja! 🍉💙 I’m so pleased to share the first-ever crossover between Bluey and Fruit Ninja Classic+, landing exclusively on Apple Arcade from June 19th. We’ve been working closely with the teams at Halfbrick, Ludo and Apple Arcade to bring Bluey’s spirit of fun and imaginative play into one of the most iconic mobile games out there. It’s been a real joy seeing this come together - especially in a way that parents and kids can enjoy side by side. If you’re a fan of family-friendly fun (or just really good fruit slicing), I hope you’ll check it out.

Nick Rish liked thisNick Rish liked this“Courage. Stupidity. They go hand in hand, and at times they are indistinguishable from each other.” Those are the words I shared with the team yesterday during our All Hands. When I founded Azra Games with the vision to build console-quality RPGs for mobile phones in Western markets, most people told me I was crazy. Only a few were courageous enough to go on the journey with me. During Apple’s Surprise & Shine event, we saw the first “One More Thing” iPhone moment in 9 years, and UnGodly was one of the few products chosen to showcase the new Duo's capabilities. I want to thank all of our partners at Apple, from Worldwide Developer Relations to Editorial and Engineering, and countless others. Your guidance has been critical. To the courageous Azrans and Investors bold enough to go on this journey with me. Thank you. As we approach our worldwide launch, UnGodly will have: 1. Full native ecosystem support across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro 2. Game Center Achievements, Leaderboards, Challenges, and Activities 3. Uncapped frame rates of up to 120 FPS 4. Ultra high-quality settings bringing desktop-level visual fidelity to the latest iPhone and iPad hardware 5. 4K+ resolution assets on Mac We’ve designed UnGodly from Day One to be enjoyed for 5 minutes or 5 hours, on 5 inch screens, 50 inch screens and everything in between, and I can’t wait for you all to experience a true console-quality experience on the most advanced hardware in the world. Thank you to EVERYONE, and LFG!!!!!

Nick Rish reacted on thisNick Rish reacted on thisEvery week, I get to test how my ideas and thoughts land with Jen Donahoe on the Deconstructor of Fun podcast. In the weekly This Week in Games (TWIG) episode, we track downloads, revenue, sales, and acquisitions, offering our expert analysis. All while I personally track these three signals from Jen: A: Pursed lips mean I had a bad take. B: An eye roll, a sigh, and closed eyes mean I'm onto something. C: A full head tilt to the ceiling means cut it from the episode (more often than you'd guess) Jen's facial expression is the strongest feedback signal of my week. And it costs me nothing but dignity.

Nick Rish liked thisFor the past 15 years, Toca Boca has been on a journey of meeting kids and families where they are, primarily on screen. As we look to the next 15, our ambition is much bigger, as we’re building Toca Boca into a truly generational brand that extends beyond the screen and becomes part of our players’ everyday lives. That’s why our partnership with adidas is so special. We’ve helped define the category of digital play for kids and tweens. With MINISO USA, we took another step into the physical world. And now, with adidas, we’re expanding into lifestyle, bringing together sport, movement, creativity and self-expression in a way that feels uniquely Toca Boca. There’s also a deeper purpose behind this partnership that I love: helping girls build confidence and stay connected to sport and play at an age when many begin to step away. From digital play, to physical, to lifestyle and soon to be more... we’re building a brand that can be part of our players’ lives in so many meaningful ways and across generations.Nick Rish liked thisToca Boca and adidas are teaming up to inspire tween girls to stay connected to sport, movement and play — both on and off the screen. Launching August 21, the collaboration brings adidas digital sportswear, gear and accessories to Toca Boca World, along with a new outdoor Home Designer location where players can bring sports like basketball, football, volleyball and skating into their everyday stories. This collaboration carries a deeper message of building confidence, giving space for self-expression and helping girls feel supported at a time when many begin to step away from sport. Because when girls feel confident, they’re more likely to keep playing.

Nick Rish liked thisHollywood! And games!Nick Rish liked this"How do we keep the game fresh? Different? New?" said Scopely SVP of Publishing Eric Wood. "Give the players always something new to interact with, not just from a content perspective but from a game mechanic perspective." Scopely’s approach to live games helped power MONOPOLY GO! to one of the fastest revenue milestones in mobile gaming history, surpassing $2 billion in revenue within its first 10 months. But the milestone was not just about a recognizable brand. It was about building a game that could continually evolve, giving players new reasons to return through fresh mechanics, events, and experiences. This conversation took place at GamesBeat’s Hollywood & Games event in 2025. Continue it at GamesBeat Insider, where industry leaders share the exclusive business insights driving what’s next.
