At Housemarque,

we believe gameplay always comes first. With technical excellence and compelling narrative, spiced with our trademark neon flair

and top-notch audiovisual feedback, we want our players to always feel actively engaged with the worlds we have created for

them.

Our award-winning game Returnal, released on PS5 in

2021, and Saros, released in 2026, embrace all these qualities. THIS is our

to develop personally and professionally during work time.

We were established in 1995 with strong roots in the

Finnish demoscene. In June 2021 we joined the PlayStation Studios, after years of

partnership.
