New Star Games

New Star Games at a Glance

New Star Games has been active in the industry from 2004 through 2025. Their catalog on PlayPile contains 15 titles, with the company credited as a developer on all of them and as a publisher on ten. The data shows a clear focus on sports games, which appear in 14 of their releases. They also lean heavily into simulator genres with seven titles, alongside five indie projects and four arcade games. Other categories like role-playing, racing, and strategy make up the remainder of their output. The company has maintained a steady release pace across three decades. They released four games in the 2000s, five during the 2010s, and five more in the 2020s. Their platform reach is broad, with eight titles available on iOS and PC, seven on Android, and four on Nintendo Switch. Smaller numbers exist for Mac, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. This distribution suggests they prioritize mobile and personal computer users over console gamers, though they do support the latter. Quality trends show a generally positive reception for their work. The average IGDB rating across five rated titles is 72 out of 100. The breakdown indicates two games scored great at 80 or higher, while three others landed in the good range between 60 and 79. There are no mixed or poor ratings recorded in this dataset. Their top-rated titles include Super Laser Racer from 2010 and New Star GP from 2024, both achieving a score of 80. New Star Manager from 2018 follows with a 70, while New Star Soccer and its sequel sit just below the 70 mark at 69.8 and 60.1 respectively. Recent releases continue this pattern of sports-focused simulation. Retro Bowl arrived in January 2020, followed by Retro Goal in June 2021, and Retro Bowl College in September 2023. Most recently, New Star GP launched in March 2024 with an 80 rating, and NFL Retro Bowl '26 is scheduled for September 2025. Their bio states they make sports games other companies do not dare to make, which aligns with their specific niche in manager and simulation titles rather than blockbuster action sports games. The output remains consistent in theme, though the rating variance suggests their execution varies slightly from title to title.
