MetaShot and Yudiz Solutions launch world’s first smart pickleball game

Bengaluru‑based sports‑tech startup MetaShot has partnered with NSE‑listed game developer Yudiz Solutions to create the first smart pickleball game for MetaShot’s motion‑gaming console. The collaboration opens MetaShot’s proprietary platform and SDKs to an external studio for the first time, building on the company’s 115% year‑on‑year revenue growth in FY‑26 and the success of its cricket title, which has logged more than five million completed matches.

The pickleball title will be released in the United States in Q3 FY‑26, followed by a rollout in India. Both CEOs highlighted the partnership’s significance: Prince Thomas said the deal marks “the start of MetaShot becoming a larger platform for sports gaming innovation,” while Chirag Leuva noted that the project demonstrates how studios can now combine real‑world movement with connected gameplay at scale. Industry analysts project the global pickleball market to grow from $2.2 billion in 2024 to $9.1 billion by 2034, underscoring the commercial potential of the new game.
