The purchase, which will boost the Chinese internet giant's presence globally, brings together Sumo's racing and snooker games with Tencent's more high-profile range of games that includes Call of Duty's mobile version.
Tencent owns 8.75% and is the second-biggest shareholder in Sumo, which has 14 studios in five countries and released the video games including Hotshot Racing, Sackboy: A Big Adventure and WST Snooker last year.
Sumo's boss Carl Cavers said he and co-founders Paul Porter and Darren Mills would reprise their roles.
"The opportunity to work with Tencent is one we just couldn't miss," said Cavers, who founded the company 18 years ago.
