Maximum Games at a Glance

Maximum Games started operations in 2011 and has been active through 2025. This United States-based company lists 43 titles on PlayPile, with 39 released as a publisher and only six developed in-house. Their catalog is dominated by cross-generational console releases rather than PC exclusives, though they do support both platforms. PlayStation 4 leads their platform presence with 33 games, followed by Microsoft Windows with 30 titles and Xbox One with 29. They also released games for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, showing a broad reach across current and previous generation hardware. The publisher focuses heavily on the simulator genre with 13 releases, while adventure games make up another 12 titles. Puzzle games appear in 10 entries, alongside smaller numbers of indie, strategy, sport, and arcade games. Their output spans two decades, with 26 games appearing in the 2010s and 16 in the 2020s. This suggests a slower pace of release in the current decade compared to their initial burst of activity. Quality metrics for Maximum Games present a mixed picture across their 22 rated titles. The average IGDB rating sits at 58.1 out of 100. Their performance includes one great title that scored above 80, nine games rated as good between 60 and 79, ten entries falling into the mixed range, and two poor releases below 40 points. Beast Quest from 2018 stands out with a score of 90, while Fobia: St. Dinfna Hotel (2022) reached 75.4. Other notable high ratings include Override: Mech City Brawl - Super Charged Mega Edition at 73 and Dangerous Driving at 71.9. Recent activity shows they continue to publish titles like Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach - Collector's Edition in late 2022 and Care Bears: Unlock the Magic in early 2025. Their catalog includes family-friendly options alongside more mature simulation and action entries. While they have produced a few standout titles, the majority of their work lands in the middle or lower tiers of ratings. They do not appear to specialize in a single niche but rather fill space across many genres with varying results.
