About FiveXGames
FiveXGames is an independent video game and interactive software development studio based in the Madrid metropolitan area of Spain. Founded as a collaborative team in 2015, it develops original games alongside commissioned software for entertainment, healthcare, education and television production. Its work combines Unity development with experience across consoles, PC, mobile devices, web applications and virtual reality.
The studio grew out of a collaboration between five software engineers studying in the GamesUPM Master's programme at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. Their initial arcade combat racing prototype led to participation in Lanzadera PlayStation Madrid and the incorporation of the business in May 2016. Through Sony Interactive Entertainment's PlayStation Talents initiative, the team brought its first commercial game, Motor Strike: Immortal Legends, to PlayStation 4.
Original games
Vehicle combat and accessible arcade action remain part of the studio's portfolio. Motor Strike: Racing Rampage expanded its racing concept with split-screen and online play, entering Steam Early Access in 2021. Its wider development work includes the survival combat game Rush Commander, the roguelike first-person adventure FallNation: Lost Stories, and the fantasy tower defense game Hocus Defenders.
The broader FallNation project combines first-person action with tactical army management. Related prototypes explore additional mechanics and perspectives within the same fictional universe, reflecting the studio's work across racing, shooters, strategy and experimental gameplay.
Commissioned development
FiveXGames offers development from concept and mechanics prototyping through programming, asset integration, optimization and digital publication. It also undertakes platform adaptation, maintenance, and custom mobile and web application development for third-party clients.
Beyond entertainment games, the studio has developed clinical training applications with Medijuegos and healthcare partners, including Novartis. These projects apply game mechanics to subjects such as ophthalmology, hematology, dermatology, rheumatology and immunology. Its commissioned portfolio also includes co-development of the PlayStation VR science education experience Flipy's Tesla! Inventor Lab and interactive software created for television productions.
