Who We Are

Curve Digital is one of the world’s leading publishers of games on PC and consoles.

Since 2013, we’ve been working with some of the world’s best game developers to help bring their games to the broadest possible audiences all over the world.

From celebrated indie classics like Bomber Crew and For the King, through to multi-million selling smash hits like Human: Fall Flat, we’re passionate about what we publish.

In 2019 we won both 'Publishing Star' at the Develop:Star Awards and 'Indie Game Publisher of the Year' at the MCV Awards.

Since 2019, we have also acquired Runner Duck Games, the studio responsible for Bomber Crew and Space Crew, and IronOak Games, the creators of For the King, into the Curve family of companies.
