Our take

Thatgamecompany is a video studio that has built popular and emotional game worlds including Sky and Journey. On a mission to elevate games as a legitimate form of art, it stands out not only for the emotional quality of its products, but for appealing to people of varying ages, identities and backgrounds with a single world.

The success of Sky, which has now been downloaded over 270 million times, led to an impressive funding round in 2022. This funding has been invested into growing its development team and organization infrastructure. With a few more successes now under its belt, and a positive reputation in the space, Thatgamecompany is set up for what could be a significant growth trajectory.
