To expand the range of emotional experiences possible in video games, so that it can be enjoyed and loved by people of all ages, cultures and backgrounds.
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 at least 200M times and has nearly 7M daily active players, led to an impressive funding round in 2022. This funding has been invested into growing its development team and organization infrastructure.
As part of this investment, the company is adding Pixar co-founder, Ed Catmull, as principal adviser on creative culture and strategic growth. When considering the incomparable success of his previous ventures, this will likely set Thatgamecompany on a significant growth trajectory.
