COREGAME Studios

What COREGAME Studios does

COREGAME Studios is an independent game publishing studio headquartered in Tornado Tower, Doha, Qatar, operating as the publishing label of COREGAME Technology Solutions and embedded within the Media City Qatar ecosystem. Founded in 2024 and operating with a 1-10 person team, the studio publishes original and commissioned video games across PC, mobile, and console platforms. Its core technology focus is pixel-art game development with a specialization in bullet hell shoot'em up mechanics, exemplified by its flagship title Beyond Solar, which is Steam Deck Verified and in Early Access on Steam. The studio also produces commissioned interactive experiences for public-sector partners, such as Khawi, a mobile game developed for Qatar's Ministry of Interior and released on iOS and Android in February 2026.

The current product portfolio spans two released titles (Beyond Solar on Steam Early Access, Khawi on iOS and Android) and three titles in development or pre-production (SlimeRush Reborn and TriangerZ for mobile, Project Athanor for PlayStation 5). The underlying technology is conventional game-engine-based development with hand-crafted pixel art, with no disclosed AI or proprietary engine components. Distribution is exclusively through global digital storefronts (Steam, Apple App Store, Google Play), with planned expansion to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

The business model combines two revenue streams: one-time license fees from consumer game sales (Beyond Solar on Steam) and professional services revenue from commissioned game development for institutional partners (the Khawi engagement with Qatar's Ministry of Interior). Pricing is not publicly disclosed for individual titles, and Khawi is distributed free-to-play. The company serves two primary customer segments: global gaming consumers (PC, mobile, console) and government or public-sector organizations in Qatar seeking interactive digital experiences for civic engagement. The company also solicits publishing pitches from external indie developers, though no third-party titles have been disclosed.
