CAA has launched Frame1Games, a new venture to fund, accelerate and market independent video games.

Per the agency, Frame1Games “pairs multi-million-dollar capital investment with a yearlong accelerator, giving developers mentorship from industry veterans and CAA executives and direct access to the partners and vendors needed to bring a game to market.”

CAA’s Frame1Games intends to back several independent projects each year with selected developers set to receive financing alongside strategic guidance across media, marketing, partnership, and distribution. Games included in the program will be showcased within a curated marketplace and, beginning in 2027, Frame1Games will support these titles at high-profile, consumer-facing video game industry events, including Summer Game Fest in June and The Game Awards in December.
