About Beamable
Beamable provides backend infrastructure and live operations software for game developers. Its platform supports the server-side systems behind connected games, including player accounts, authentication, matchmaking, leaderboards, cloud saves, chat and in-game commerce. Based in Boston, the company serves developers working across mobile, PC, console and decentralized gaming.
The platform combines game-engine SDKs with managed backend hosting and operational tools. Unity and Unreal Engine integrations connect game projects to backend services, while serverless C# microservices let developers deploy custom game logic from their editor. A browser-based LiveOps Portal supports content management, live events and virtual economy balancing. Developers can use fully managed SaaS hosting or AWS-backed private cloud deployments, with backend engineering support available through co-development services. Beamable Network extends the product portfolio into decentralized gaming compute and hosting.
From game development to infrastructure
Founded in 2010 by Jon Radoff, the company originally operated as Disruptor Beam, developing free-to-play social and mobile games based on entertainment franchises. Its releases included Game of Thrones Ascent in 2013, Star Trek Timelines in 2016 and The Walking Dead: March to War in 2017. That production history gave the company direct experience with the backend and live operations demands of persistent online games.
In March 2020, Disruptor Beam sold Star Trek Timelines to Tilting Point. The transaction also transferred 19 developers to the newly established Wicked Realm Games, which took responsibility for maintaining the title. The continuing company rebranded as Beamable in April 2020 and shifted its focus to providing backend software for other developers.
Beamable now operates with a remote-first model. In February 2026, Skillz acquired its core technology and development team; Skillz subsequently reorganized under the FIRY portfolio name. Beamable retained its distinct brand and founder leadership team, continuing as a developer infrastructure platform within the group.
More about Beamable
Technology origins
The platform grew from the proprietary Disruptor Engine, originally built internally to handle the server and live operations requirements of the company's own games.
Restructuring and financing
Beamable filed for Chapter 11 Subchapter V reorganization in October 2020. The company restructured its debts and emerged with fresh venture capital backing in early 2021; the bankruptcy case was subsequently closed. The report also records $14 million in subsequent financing.
