About DIGIT Game Studios
DIGIT Game Studios is a Dublin-based game developer focused on free-to-play multiplayer strategy games. Its work spans mobile and PC experiences, with particular expertise in massively multiplayer online games, 4X strategy, progression systems and ongoing live service development. The studio also operates under the brand DIGIT, a Scopely Studio.
Its development capabilities cover game systems and economy design, client/server engineering, mobile interface design, quality assurance and live operations. Technical specialties include Unity 3D, cross-platform architecture and the systems needed to support persistent strategy games. Alongside engineering, its production work includes narrative design, product leadership and community support.
Games and development
DIGIT released its debut game, Kings of the Realm, in September 2014. Published in partnership with Kabam, the fantasy MMO strategy title connected browser and mobile players through a free-to-play experience. It established the studio's early focus on multiplayer strategy across platforms.
A multi-year development partnership with Scopely began in May 2015 and led to Star Trek Fleet Command, released globally on iOS and Android in November 2018 and subsequently brought to PC. DIGIT co-developed the licensed 4X MMO with Scopely, which publishes the game. The studio continues to contribute live operations, feature expansions and technical design, combining ongoing content development with systems progression and economy balancing.
Company development
Established in 2012, DIGIT became part of Scopely through an acquisition in May 2019, following the release of Star Trek Fleet Command. It retained its Dublin base and creative identity while joining Scopely's wider development network. Its work continues to center on strategy games, including support for its established live title and development of upcoming strategy projects.
Scopely remains DIGIT's direct parent company. Savvy Games Group acquired Scopely in 2023, placing DIGIT within the broader group while it continued operating as a game development studio.
