505 Games

505 Games is an international multiplatform video game publisher founded in 2006 as a dedicated publishing subsidiary of Digital Bros S.p.A. The company publishes and co-publishes games across PC, console, mobile and cloud platforms, combining digital and physical distribution with marketing, localization, quality-assurance management, community operations, licensing and IP commercialization.

The publisher grew out of 505 GameStreet, a budget imprint established by Digital Bros in 2004 and reorganized as 505 Games in 2006. Its early catalog included casual and handheld successes such as Cooking Mama and Zumba Fitness, before the business expanded toward premium, mid-core and independent releases.

Publishing portfolio

505 Games has published titles and franchises including:

• Control, DEATH STRANDING and Terraria
• Assetto Corsa, Ghostrunner and PAYDAY 2
• Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes
• WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers, Crime Boss: Rockay City, Portal Knights and Journey to the Savage Planet

Its work spans premium releases and free-to-play, live-service operations. The company expanded this latter area through the acquisition of Australian developer Infinity Plus Two in 2021 and US publisher D3 Go! in 2022, consolidating those teams into its North American operations under 505 Go Inc.

Global publishing operations

The company supports worldwide retail packaged-goods and digital storefront distribution, alongside PR, media buying, creator programmes and franchise merchandising. Its platform coverage includes PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC storefronts, mobile and cloud services.

In 2024, 505 Games returned the full intellectual-property rights to Control to Remedy Entertainment and streamlined its European publishing infrastructure following the closure of regional offices in Germany, Spain and France. The publisher remains active with releases including Assetto Corsa EVO, Nivalis and WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers.
