What Resolution Games does

Resolution Games AB is a Stockholm-headquartered VR/AR/MR game development studio founded in 2015, operating as Resolution Games. The company builds a portfolio of more than 17 titles spanning cooperative tabletop RPGs (Demeo, Demeo Battles), competitive multiplayer shooters (Blaston, Spatial Ops), racket and mixed-reality sports (Racket Club, Home Sports, Pickle Pro, Ultimechs), social party games (Cook-Out, Acron: Attack of the Squirrels, Bait!), licensed adaptations (Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs), and Apple Arcade/Apple Vision Pro exclusives (Retrocade, Game Room, Gears & Goo). Distribution is purely product-led and platform-mediated: games ship through Meta Quest Store, Steam/SteamVR, PlayStation Store, Apple App Store and Apple Arcade, PICO Store, and the Nintendo eShop, with cross-platform multiplayer as a deliberate design choice. The revenue model blends freemium with in-game purchases and season passes (e.g., Ultimechs UltiPass), premium one-off game sales, and Apple Arcade subscription share.

The company employs 101–250 people, with operating geographies spanning Sweden and the United States, and is led by CEO Tommy Palm alongside founder/president Paul Brady. Resolution Games raised a $25 million Series C in July 2021 led by Qualcomm Ventures and BITKRAFT Ventures, and earlier funded rounds included Google Ventures, MizMaa Ventures, Creandum, Bonnier Capital, Partech, and others. It acquired two Swedish studios — Zero Index (rebranded Resolution Tech, Nov 2021) and Zenz VR (2022) — to deepen AR/VR development capacity. In FY2021 the company reported a nearly fourfold increase in B2C revenue and a tripling of game downloads across platforms, establishing it as one of the most prolific independent VR/AR/MR publishers in the market.
