Turn Me Up

What Turn Me Up does

Turn Me Up Games, Inc. is a privately held interactive entertainment studio headquartered in Burbank (Los Angeles), California, founded in 2011 and operating with 11–50 employees. Rather than publishing its own titles, the company functions as a business-to-business service studio that delivers co-development and game porting services to external game developers and publishers. Its stated mission is to take ownership of platform support and performance optimization so that partner studios can focus on core game creation; the company itself notes it is not the only co-development and porting studio but claims to be "one of the best."

The company's offering is centered on professional services executed under project-based contracts, generating revenue from platform support, porting across multiple platforms, and co-development of game titles. Publicly disclosed franchise engagements include Batman, The Witcher, Injustice, Hogwarts Legacy, and Splitgate, implying work with major publishers such as Warner Bros. Games, CD Projekt, NetherRealm Studios, and 1047 Games. Go-to-market is executed via direct enterprise field sales, with quote-based per-project pricing negotiated globally and no public price list, supplemented by a top-of-funnel social presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and X (Twitter).

Ownership and capital structure are entirely founder-led and undisclosed: there is no parent company, no institutional funding, no public listing, and no formal leadership roster beyond founder and Executive Producer Scott Cromie. Owned intangible assets are limited to registered trademarks for the TurnMeUp, Turn Me Up, and Turn Me Up Games names and logos. Operating status is active as of 2026, and the accessible Careers page indicates ongoing hiring, but there is no disclosed expansion into new geographies, verticals, or product lines and no AI/ML capability disclosed in any source material.
