Dimensions Games Studio closes after four years, ending University of Jordan-born venture

Dimensions Games Studio has closed after four years of operation in Jordan. Founder Mustafa Dabaibeh announced the shutdown on LinkedIn, citing difficult circumstances. The studio began in 2022 as a University of Jordan game community. It later grew into a startup shipping three titles for thousands of players.

Professor Reem Alfayez encouraged Dabaibeh to build the community in 2022.
The community evolved into a startup making games that represented its audience.
Dimensions shipped three titles: Fajjah: Survivor, Match It and Collect The Fare.
The studio engaged thousands of young people through games and community activities.

Dabaibeh's closure statement names no investor, grant body or revenue figure.
"Years flew by, and circumstances forced us to shut down. But this has never been about the games, or the work itself, it was about the most important element of any organisation and community: The People." - Mustafa Dabaibeh, Founder, Dimensions Games Studio
The four-year run shows no disclosed transition from academic grant to private capital.
This pattern leaves the studio's commercial sustainability model unexplained at closure.
