What Refactor Games does

Refactor Games is a private game studio founded in 2021 and headquartered at 139 S Beverly Dr., Beverly Hills, California. The company develops physics-driven sports video games for PC and console, targeting sports gaming enthusiasts seeking more dynamic and realistic gameplay than mainstream sports titles typically offer. Its flagship and currently only commercial product is Football Simulator, released on Steam Early Access, where it holds an 80% Very Positive rating based on 880 reviews in the Action/Sports Early Access category.

The studio builds on Unreal Engine 5, leveraging a proprietary physics-driven gameplay engine that enables dynamic interactions such as breaking tackles, juggling tipped passes, and diving for interceptions. Football Simulator also features a fully moddable environment, allowing the user community to extend and customize the gameplay experience. Refactor operates as a small team of 1-10 employees, with talent drawn from major sports gaming franchises and adjacent companies including EA Sports, 2K Sports, Survios, and OneTeam Partners, providing deep domain experience in sports game development, licensing, and live operations.

Refactor Games monetizes through one-time digital game sales on the Steam marketplace, distributing its title globally to individual consumers under a product-led go-to-market motion that relies on Steam's organic discovery and community-driven adoption. The studio is part-owned by Delphi Interactive, an alternative publisher that operates as a strategic owner across multiple indie studios, and is financially backed by Andreessen Horowitz's Speedrun fund. Active job postings for QA, physics engineering, and gameplay roles reference an upcoming AAA Soccer game, indicating portfolio expansion beyond American football is underway.
