Our take

Continuous technological advancements in the gaming industry are significantly propelling the industry's growth, enhancing the way games are created and improving the overall gaming experience. Focus Entertainment is both a publisher and developer, uniting talents from development to commercialisation.

The company has acquired studios such as Deck13 Interactive, StreumOn Studio, and more recently, Dotemu and its label The Arcade Crew, demonstrating a desire to integrate talents and studios with singular visions, anticipating new trends and unique gameplay.

It has also released a gaming store featuring user accounts in a push to make a dent in the digital PC gaming market and challenge competitors such as Steam and Origin. Funding is being used to purchase additional tools to finance growth activities and to acquire more studios to enrich the group’s talent pool.
