The studio initially specialized in mobile games for its first twenty years, but in 2022, following the significant success of Disney Dreamlight Valley, it diversified its business into console and personal computer games.
In addition to Disney Dreamlight Valley, the studio is known for having developed and launched the first installments of the Asphalt, Dungeon Hunter, and Modern Combat franchises; and until its shift to computer and console game production, Gameloft Montreal was the largest mobile gaming studio in Quebec.
On 12 June 2000, Gameloft announced the creation of its global interactive content development center in Montreal—particularly for online games. The initiative, supported by the Quebec government, was given tax credits covering up to half of new employees' salaries.
From 2016 to 2021, Gameloft Montreal experienced several commercial setbacks. For example, multiple online games (Modern Combat Versus (2017), Dungeon Hunter Champions (2018), Overdrive City (2019) ans Endless Survival(2020)) had their servers shut down after poor commercial performance. Unlike other Gameloft studios that underwent major restructuring and closures during this period, Gameloft Montreal was not subject to mass layoffs.
In 2017, the studio also released a new installment in the Gangstar series, titled Gangstar: New Orleans. Although it did not experience the same level of commercial hardship a

The first game developed by Gameloft Montreal was Gulo's Tale, released in 2003 on J2ME. The player controls "Gulo", a small anthropomorphic creature with a cartoon-style design, capable of running, jumping, and creating bubbles that function both as weapons and platforms. Gulo progresses through levels in which fruits must be collected, advancing across a world map. The game has received generally positive feedback, with praise for its original bubble-based mechanics and stylized visual presentation; although some critics have noted its limited length and repetitive level structure.
In 2004, Gameloft Montreal released the first game in the Asphalt franchise, called Asphalt: Urban GT. The game, which has been a huge success with over 5 million sales, is in three dimensions, offers nine circuits inspired by real places (including Paris, New York and Las Vegas) and has 23 vehicles from major brands such as Aston Martin, Lamborghini and Audi.
In addition to several minor titles such as New York Nights: Success in the City, Naval Battle: Mission Commander, Bubble Bash, and Midnight Pool released between 2005 and 2007, Gameloft Montreal released Asphalt: Urban GT 2 in 2005. Compared to the first installment, this sequel offers more cars and motorcycles, new tracks, denser traffic with realistic gaps for overtaking, notable graphical improvements, and a significantly expanded “takedown” collision system, where ramming an opponent can eliminate them from the race—all features that would quickly become some of the series’ signature innovations. The development of the "takedown" mechanic was accompanied by new game modes, diversifying the gameplay, such as "Bandit Chase," "Duel," and "Elimination".
In 2007, Gameloft Montreal also developed Prince of Persia Classic, a complete remake of the first Prince of Persia game (a license belonging to another French group,Ubisoft). Prince of Percia Classic received very good reviews, with an average score of 82 out of 100 on Metacritic.
In 2008, the studio grew from 230 employees to over 300.
In 2009, Gameloft Montreal developed the first installments of two of Gameloft's major franchises: Dungeon Hunter and Modern Combat: Sandstorm.
In 2010, Gameloft Montreal released four major games: Asphalt 6: Adrenaline, Dungeon Hunter II, Gangstar: Miami Vindication, and Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus, which is the highest-rated game in the Modern Combat franchise on Metacritic, with an average score of 90 out of 100.
A new and innovative feature in Asphalt 6 : Adrenaline is the "Adrenaline mode", which is achieved by hitting nitro while the meter is full. While in Adrenaline mode, the player's car becomes virtually indestructible, simultaneously gaining the ability to easily wreck opponents' cars upon the slightest contact. This feature has become an important element of the Asphalt franchise's gameplay, and has since been a staple feature in all games of the series.
In 2011, Gameloft Montreal released two major games: Gangstar Rio: City of Saints, which received generally positive feedback, and Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation, which garnered excellent reviews including a Metacritic average of 88 out of 100, and achieved significant commercial success. The same year, the studio also made Dungeon Hunter Alliance on PlayStation 3. The game received mixed reviews, with praise for its dynamic gameplay and cooperative mode for up to four players, but criticism for its dated graphics, long loading times, and its "hefty price tag".
On 27 June 2012, Gameloft Montreal released its last Asphalt game, Asphalt 7: Heat. It was a huge commercial success, selling several million copies. At launch, the game featured 15 tracks, 6 game modes, and over 60 cars. Subsequent development of the Asphalt franchise was entrusted to Gameloft Barcelona. Asphalt 7: Heat received generally very positive reviews, with an average score of 83 out of 100 on Metacritic. The studio also released Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour the same year, which also received generally very positive reviews, with an average score of 82 out of 100 on Metacritic.
In 2013, the studio released the open world Gangstar Vegas, which was a huge success. It is still receiving updates in 2026, and surpassed 200 million downloads in 2023.
In 2014, Gameloft Montreal employed 415 people following a significant recruitment campaign. The following year, the studio released Dungeon Hunter V.
