Eight Pixels Square is a game development studio focused on creating free-to-play mobile games. The company was founded in 2012 by Hugh Binns, Tim Rogers, Mat Bettinson, and Hugh De Looy, all of whom have extensive backgrounds in the video game industry. Before establishing the studio, the founders held senior positions at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's Studio Liverpool. They have been credited with working on major franchises like WipEout, MotorStorm, and Formula 1.
The studio's primary focus is on developing engaging and high-quality mobile gaming experiences. Their portfolio includes titles such as "All Guns Blazing," "Cartel Kings," "RAID: Shadow Legends," and "Sniper Strike: Special Ops." These games often feature high-production values and are designed for a global audience. The company operates on a free-to-play business model, generating revenue through in-app purchases and advertising. Originally an independent studio based in Derby, UK, Eight Pixels Square was acquired by the mobile and social game company Outplay Entertainment in 2015. This acquisition allowed the studio to expand its team and resources. Following the acquisition, the studio was integrated into the larger Outplay Entertainment structure.
