Coffee Stain Publishing at a Glance

Coffee Stain Publishing is a Swedish company established in 2016 that operates strictly as a publisher rather than a developer. The firm has released thirteen games on PlayPile since 2018, with the vast majority of this output occurring in the 2020s. Their catalog shows a clear preference for PC platforms, appearing on Microsoft Windows in twelve titles, while also reaching PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S systems with eight and seven releases respectively. Other platforms like Linux, Mac, and Nintendo Switch have seen much smaller support from their portfolio. The publisher focuses heavily on the Adventure genre with eight titles, followed by seven Indie games and four Simulator experiences. They also touch upon Shooter and Strategy categories but have only released a single Role-playing game. The quality of their work appears generally positive based on the available data. Out of seven rated titles, three achieved great scores above 80, and four landed in the good range between 60 and 79. There are no mixed or poor ratings listed for this group. Their most successful releases include Valheim from 2021 which holds a rating of 87.1, Satisfactory from 2024 at 83.8, and Deep Rock Galactic from 2020 with a score of 81.1. These titles suggest a trend of high-quality simulation and cooperative experiences. More recent releases like Goat Simulator Remastered and Midnight Ghost Hunt have scored 75 and 73.8 respectively. As We Descend released in May 2025 represents their latest entry into the market. Although the company claims to enable unique games and lists multiple million-unit sales, their actual track record on PlayPile remains relatively small compared to larger industry players. They have not published any titles from the 2010s, starting their catalog in 2018. The data shows a consistent focus on PC and modern consoles with a strong leaning toward simulation and adventure genres. Their recent output continues to maintain high ratings without dipping into poor territory.
