Koch Media

Koch Media at a Glance

Koch Media has been active in the industry since 2003 but only began showing significant output in the 2010s. The company published 35 games on PlayPile, with 33 of those released under their publishing arm and only two where they acted as the developer. Their catalog spans from the early 2000s through 2022, though most of their work arrived between 2010 and 2019 when they released 21 titles. The 2000s saw just four games, while the current decade has yielded nine releases so far. This timeline suggests a slow start followed by a major push in the second decade of the century. The publisher focuses heavily on specific genres, with Adventure and Shooter games making up the bulk of their portfolio at 15 and 13 titles respectively. They also handle Indie projects, Role-playing games, Fighting games, Music titles, Sports games, Simulators, and Puzzles. Their reach across platforms is broad, targeting PC as the primary system with 24 releases. They also have a strong presence on PlayStation consoles, including 14 titles for PlayStation 4, 9 for PlayStation 3, and 6 for PlayStation 5. Xbox support includes 9 games for the Xbox 360 and 8 for the Xbox One, along with newer titles for the Series X|S. They even supported Google Stadia with 5 games before the service shut down. Quality trends show a generally solid average rating of 70.7 out of 100 across their rated titles. The breakdown indicates that four games scored great ratings above 80, ten landed in the good range between 60 and 79, and two received mixed scores between 40 and 59. No games fell into the poor category below 40. Their highest-rated release is Saints Row IV: Super Dangerous Wad Wad Edition from 2013 with a perfect score of 100. Other top performers include Galaxy on Fire 3: Manticore at 87 and Metro: Last Light Redux at 80. Recent output like Beyond Contact in late 2022 scored 69.4, while their King of Fighters XV releases appeared earlier that same year. Koch Media operates as an independent producer and marketer based in Germany. Their business covers the distribution of movies, software, and video games under labels such as Deep Silver. While they have produced some standout titles, their overall catalog remains modest with 35 entries over two decades. The company maintains a steady presence across multiple generations of hardware without relying on a single platform or genre to drive their success.
