What 3DClouds does

3DClouds S.r.l. is an Italian video game development studio headquartered in Milan, Italy, founded in 2016 by CEO Francesco Bruschi. The studio employs 50+ people — described as a mix of industry veterans and emerging talent — and operates from a single Milan office (Via Privata Tarvisio, 32) with a fully paid-up share capital of €100,000. 3DClouds develops and publishes video games across two parallel tracks: original intellectual properties (All-Star Fruit Racing, Xenon Racer, King of Seas, Trident's Tale, Formula Legends, CARRUMBLE) and licensed franchise titles built on tier-1 entertainment IPs including Paw Patrol and Blaze (Nickelodeon), Transformers and Hot Wheels (Hasbro), Fast & Furious: Spy Racers (Universal), Gigantosaurus (Disney), and Formula E.

The studio's technical stack centers on unspecified mainstream game-engine technology, and titles are distributed across all major consumer gaming platforms — PC via Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Xbox X|S, and Nintendo Switch — with no proprietary platform or engine assets. 3DClouds monetizes primarily through one-time-purchase full-game sales on digital storefronts, supplemented by royalty-bearing IP licensing agreements with the major franchise holders, occasional external publishing partnerships (Team17 for King of Seas), and post-launch DLC extensions (Formula E: Electric Evolution for Formula Legends, April 2026). The studio has no disclosed live-service titles, no subscription or freemium monetization, and no mobile presence.

3DClouds' go-to-market is two-fold: bottom-of-funnel through marketplace listings on Epic Games Store and console storefronts, and top-of-funnel through IP-holder cross-promotion (Nickelodeon, Hasbro, Disney, Universal, Formula E) plus a maintained Discord community. The customer base is dual: enterprise IP licensors (Nickelodeon, Hasbro, Universal, Disney, Formula E, Team17) on the B2B side, and end-consumer families with children plus racing-game enthusiasts on the B2C side. The studio is privately held with no parent company, no subsidiaries, no disclosed funding rounds, and no public financial reporting.
