Respawn Entertainment

Respawn Entertainment at a Glance

Respawn Entertainment stands as a significant developer in the United States gaming scene. The studio opened its doors in 2010 but did not release its first title until 2014. Since then, they have published sixteen games entirely under their own development banner. Their catalog spans from the mid-2010s through 2023, with ten games appearing in the 2010s and six in the 2020s. While their website lists them as a publisher, PlayPile data shows zero titles released solely under that role. Instead, they focus on creating content across multiple platforms, with PC Microsoft Windows being the most common at fourteen releases. Xbox One follows closely with thirteen games, while PlayStation 4 has eleven. Their reach extends to newer hardware like the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 with five games each, though their presence on Nintendo Switch is smaller at three titles. The studio clearly leans heavily into the shooter genre, which accounts for eleven of their sixteen projects. Adventure elements appear in six titles, and one game fits the tactical category. This focus has generally yielded strong results. Out of eleven rated titles, eight received great scores above 80. Only three games fell into the good range between 60 and 79. The data shows no mixed or poor ratings for their released work. Their highest acclaimed project was Titanfall: Deluxe Edition in 2014, which earned a 93.7 out of 100. Titanfall 2 followed with an 86.1 rating, and its Ultimate Edition later scored 85.3. The studio found success again with the Star Wars Jedi series. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order received 81.8 in 2019, and the sequel Star Wars Jedi: Survivor achieved 83.6 upon release in 2023. Their output volume slowed slightly in recent years compared to their peak in the late 2010s. Recent releases include Apex Legends Mobile in 2022, which scored a modest 70. Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond from December 2020 also landed at 60.5, marking one of their lower-rated entries. While they maintain a reputation for high-quality shooters, not every project reaches the heights of their early Titanfall titles. The studio operates on a philosophy that creative freedom leads to extraordinary games, yet their actual output shows a steady stream of competent titles rather than constant surprises.
