Disruptive Games

Disruptive Games is an independent game development studio combining original multiplayer games with external co-development and technical support. Its work focuses on connected gameplay, online infrastructure and cross-platform engineering, alongside physics-driven cooperative experiences built around emergent situations and player interaction. The company operates as a fully remote team headquartered in Oakland, California.

The studio supports development from prototyping and pre-production through vertical slices, production and live operations. Its technical capabilities include network replication, matchmaking, social systems, cross-play, dedicated servers and backend architecture. Porting and platform compliance work covers console adaptation, certification, bug fixing and ongoing title updates. Technical art services extend to visual effects, rigging, shader optimization and CPU, GPU and memory profiling.

Co-development and technical support

Disruptive Games has contributed to established franchises across PC, console and virtual reality. For Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, its work included multiplayer integration, dedicated game servers, online services and console porting. On Diablo II: Resurrected, the studio supported online services, Battle.net backend systems, gameplay tuning and console compliance. Its contribution to Godfall included visual effects, art integration and platform optimization.

Earlier engagements included multiplayer engineering for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5, plus server architecture and platform support for Orcs Must Die! Unchained. These projects reflect the studio’s sustained emphasis on the engineering required to connect players and maintain multiplayer experiences across platforms.

Original games

The studio released its original VR hero shooter Megalith for PlayStation VR in 2019, with a subsequent Steam release. It later moved into self-publishing with Wreck Runners, released on July 16, 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Set in a supernatural version of the Bermuda Triangle, Wreck Runners centers on four-player cooperative salvage extraction. Its combination of networked physics, cooperative mechanics and player-driven social interaction brings together the studio’s technical background and its focus on unpredictable multiplayer play.
