Safe Harbor Statement
           This presentation contains "forward-looking" statements including those regarding our Q4-2020 and FY-2020 financial guidance, our key 2021 games, our
           strategic priorities to drive margin expansion, our 2021 new title launch strategy, our 2021 bookings and Adjusted EBITDA outlook, our healthy balance sheet
           to support expected growth, and statements including words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “plan,” “intend,” “could,”
           “continue,” “remain,” “positioned,” "potential" and similar expressions or variations, as well as statements in the future tense. These forward-looking
           statements are subject to material risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
           Investors should consider important risk factors, which include: consumer demand for smartphones, tablets and next-generation platforms does not grow as
           significantly as we anticipate or that we will be unable to capitalize on any such growth; the risk that we do not realize a sufficient return on our investment
           with respect to our efforts to develop free-to-play games for smartphones and tablets; the risk that we will be unable to build successful Growth Games that
           provide predictable bookings and year-over-year growth; the risk that we do not maintain our good relationships with Apple and Google; the risk that we do
           not realize the anticipated strategic benefits from its license agreements and strategic investments; the risk that our development expenses are greater than
           we anticipate or that we experience product delays; the risk that our recently and newly launched games are less popular than anticipated; the risk that our
           newly released games will be of a quality less than desired by reviewers and consumers; the risk that the mobile games market, particularly with respect to
           social, free-to-play gaming, is smaller than anticipated; risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic; and other risks detailed under the caption "Risk Factors" in
           our Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, 2020 and our other SEC filings. You can locate these reports through our
           website at http://www.glu.com/investors.

           These "forward-looking" statements are based on estimates and information available to us on November 5, 2020 and we are under no obligation, and
           expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter our forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
           Glu uses in this presentation certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not
           intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP,
           and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do
           not reflect all of the amounts associated with Glu's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used
           by Glu include Bookings, Adjusted platform commissions, Adjusted royalties, Adjusted research and development expense, Adjusted sales and marketing
           expense, Adjusted general and administrative expense and Adjusted operating expenses. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items
           from Glu's unaudited consolidated statements of operations:

           •   Change in deferred platform commissions;                                         • Stock-based compensation expense;
           •   Change in deferred royalties;                                                    • Litigation costs;
           •   Amortization of intangible assets;                                               • Transitional costs.
           •   Restructuring costs;

           Bookings do not reflect the deferral of certain game revenue that Glu recognizes over the estimated useful lives of paying users of Glu’s games and excludes
           changes in deferred revenue.

           Glu believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful
           supplemental information regarding Glu's performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of Glu's core business, operating results or future
           outlook. Glu's management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Glu's operating
           results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of Glu's
           performance to prior periods.

           For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please refer to the tables at the end
           of this presentation.

Note: DAU is the number of individuals who played a particular smartphone game on a particular day. Average bookings per DAU (“ABPDAU’) is computed as our total bookings in a given period, divided by the number of days in that period, divided by the DAU during the period.
Aggregate DAU in Q3’18 to Q3’20 represents the average of aggregate DAU for each month in the quarter. Note, average GAAP revenue per DAU (“ARPDAU”) reflected in Company SEC filings will differ from ABPDAU, which is calculated based on bookings which do not reflect
any deferral of revenue derived from the sale of virtual items within games as required under GAAP. In addition, as of January 1, 2019, we began calculating DAU using the average of each month during the period rather than our historical practice of calculating these metrics on
based on the last month of the period.

2021 Outlook

      The company expects bookings range of $595M to $605M from its current live titles in the full year 2021:
        • 8% to 10% annual growth from the three Growth Games
           • Flat to low single digit % annual growth from a combination of Potential Growth Games and Catalog
           • For modeling purposes: Q121 is expected to be approximately flat from Q420 due to Tap Sports Baseball seasonality
      Our preliminary guidance does not include:
        • The planned launch of 4 new original IP titles in 2021: Crowdstar Moments, Table & Taste, Deer Hunter World & Tap Sports Fishing
                   •   We believe Table & Taste and Deer Hunter World, have the potential to be mid to high “Singles” in the first year and can grow into “Doubles” by year two

           • Bookings from potential acquisitions

                                                                                 Adjusted EBITDA

      The company expects margin expansion from current full year 2020 expectation by 220 to 420 basis points:
        • This margin profile is inclusive of new title contribution
           • Margins are expected to be a high single digit percentage of bookings in Q1 2021 due to lower CPI’s leading to higher UA investment
           • Similar to Q420, margins are expected to be higher in Q421 due to lower UA investment arising from higher CPI’s

           Aggregate DAU and MAU in Q2’19 to Q2320 represents the average of aggregate DAU and MAU for each month in the quarter. An individual who plays two different games in the same month is counted as two active users for that month when we aggregate DAU and MAU
           across games. In addition, an individual who plays the same game on two different devices during the same month (e.g., an iPhone and an iPad) is also counted as two active users for each such month when we average or aggregate DAU and MAU over time. Our
           methodology for calculating DAU and MAU may differ from the methodology used by other companies to calculate similar metrics.

           Aggregate DAU and MAU in Q2’19 to Q3’20 represents the average of aggregate DAU and MAU for each month in the quarter. An individual who plays two different games in the same month is counted as two active users for that month when we aggregate DAU and MAU
           across games. In addition, an individual who plays the same game on two different devices during the same month (e.g., an iPhone and an iPad) is also counted as two active users for each such month when we average or aggregate DAU and MAU over time. Our
           methodology for calculating DAU and MAU may differ from the methodology used by other companies to calculate similar metrics.
