Gamebreaking Studios Get In Touch

Games Need Everyone

Gamebreaking Studios is a work environment that is safe and healthy for people of all identities, cultures, and experiences. Diversity, equity, and inclusion make communities and games better. Representation comes through in our work and leads to the games we make being more creative, expressive, and fun for everybody. All team members are committed to accepting each other, listening to each other, and improving our work environment wherever possible.

Our Mission

We believe that communities are the most powerful way for people to grow.

And games are the strongest community-building force on earth.

Your games, our games, their games…

As long as they create more secret handshakes, more “Are you ready for tonight’s…”, and more people chatting over lunch, then we want to help make them.

Our Values

We are defined by the choices we make, especially the tough calls with unknown outcomes. Our core values are the razor we use to make difficult decisions.

Take Responsibility

...for our own actions, for our team, and for the people our work impacts. For our failures, yes, but also for the duties that come with success.

Raise The Tide, Not One Boat

Improvements for one person, team, or even company miss the multiplicative effects of a better ecosystem. We play to win but collaboration and openness yield better results than competition and secrecy.

Ambitious Goals, Disciplined Execution

We set the bar out of reach, but we’re confident we can get there. We put in the work required to be well-informed, and we take the disciplined path to achieve difficult goals.

Design For People, Own Your Craft

Success is measured by the end-user, and it’s most elegantly achieved by builders who treat their work as a craft. The best products are made when builders and users work closely together.

We Play Together

Multiplayer games of all shapes and sizes are our DNA, and we believe in knowing our audience. Playing games together makes our games better, our teams better, and our workplace better.
