PM Studios at a Glance

PM Studios is a United States based company that started operations in 2008 though their activity logs show work beginning in 2006. They remain active through at least 2026. Their catalog on PlayPile contains 24 games listed with 23 of those under their publishing credit and only four under direct development. This suggests they primarily act as a publisher for external teams rather than building everything in house. The studio covers many platforms with PC leading the list at 18 titles followed by Nintendo Switch at 16. They also support modern consoles like PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One with scores ranging from 10 to 12 games each. Mobile presence is smaller with five titles on Android and five on iOS. The company shows a clear shift in output volume over time. Their early years were quiet with only two games in the 2000s and four in the 2010s. The 2020s saw a major jump to 12 releases. This recent increase coincides with their focus on Indie genres which account for 17 of their total games. Adventure is another strong area with 12 titles. They also handle Platform, Puzzle, and Arcade games in equal measure with six releases each. Their portfolio includes some niche categories like Music, Strategy, and Shooter games as well. Quality ratings for PM Studios are mixed but lean toward the positive side of the scale. The average IGDB rating sits at 72.8 out of 100 across ten rated titles. Four of these titles are considered great with scores above 80 while five fall into the good range between 60 and 79. One title received a mixed score in the 40 to 59 bracket. No games have dropped below 40. Their highest rated release is Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo from 2025 which holds a 91.5 rating. Deemo from 2013 also stands out with an 86.3 rating. Recent years show strong performance with Exophobia at 86 in 2024 and My Time at Sandrock at 83.6 in 2023. However not every release hits that mark as Cricket: Jae's Really Peculiar Game scored only 62 in August 2024. Their upcoming schedule includes ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard scheduled for February 2026. The bio text claims they have been world renowned since founding but the data shows a modest footprint with 24 games over nearly two decades compared to larger industry players. They rely heavily on independent developers and diverse genre choices to build their catalog.
