Curve Games Limited (formerly Curve Digital Limited and Curve Studios Limited) is a British video game publisher based in London, founded in 2005 by Jason Perkins.[1]

History

In 2013, Curve Digital announced that they would begin publishing games as well as developing them.[2] During the porting of Stealth Bastard to PlayStation 3 and Vita, Curve Studios asked fans to rename the game for them in order to remove the profanity, choosing Stealth Inc: A Clone in the Dark as the new title.[3]

In August 2013 Curve announced an upcoming project titled White Space.[4]

In January 2016, Curve Digital was acquired by Catalis Group.[5] Catalis was then sold to NorthEdge Capital in October 2019.[6]

The company rebranded itself to Curve Games in October 2021 as part of their commitment to better support developers.[7]
