Modus Games, L.L.C. is a global video game publisher established in 2018 as a publishing label of Maximum Games focused on providing AAA publishing services to indie developers. The company is based in Walnut Creek, California and specializes in marketing, production, development, and sales for both physical and digital video games.

History

Modus Games was first introduced in 2018 when the company was soft launched with the release of Iron Galaxy’s Extinction.[1] The company was fully launched in March of 2019.[2] Their first title as a publishing label was Finnish developer Frozenbyte’s Trine 4, which received favorable reviews.[2][3]

Modus Games has since partnered with several developers of varying sizes for both physical and digital releases globally. The company has made their first foray into the collectibles market with the announcement of a collector’s edition for Dreams Uncorporated’s upcoming action role-playing game Cris Tales.[4]

On October 20, 2020, Modus Games announced an ongoing charitable initiative called Games Giving Back,[5] in which the company donates a portion of each games’ profits towards a charity, often in a similar theme to each game being highlighted. The first of these donations was to the Exceptional Women Awardees Foundation, an organization that helps women advance their careers through coaching and mentorship.[5]

Modus Studios Brazil

Following the release of Override by Brazilian studio The Balance, Inc., Modus Games purchased and rebranded the developer as Modus Studios Brazil in 2019.[6] The company operates independently of the publishing arm, and has since released a sequel titled Override 2. It is the company’s first developer acquisition under the Modus name. In addition to development, the studio also co-develops and offers porting services for other Modus published games.[7]
