Focus Entertainment

Focus Entertainment is a French video game publisher based in Paris, specializing in AA and independent games for international audiences. Its publishing business works with developers across PC and consoles, combining editorial guidance, production support, distribution and marketing. It operates through Focus Entertainment Publishing SAS, with PulluP Entertainment SA as its direct parent.

The business traces its origins to 1996 under the name Focus Home Interactive. It moved fully into video game publishing in 2000 and established a catalogue spanning strategy, simulation, role-playing games, action and narrative adventures. Early publishing work included titles such as Sudden Strike, Cossacks: European Wars, Runaway, Cycling Manager and TrackMania.

Publishing and production

Focus supports games from development through release and ongoing publishing. Its capabilities include editorial and creative consulting, production monitoring, quality assurance, localization and technical compliance. Distribution covers digital storefronts and physical retail, with multiplatform publishing across PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. Marketing, press relations, influencer management, community support and downloadable content publishing complement its production work.

Long-running relationships with independent developers have shaped its catalogue. These include GIANTS Software on Farming Simulator, Cyanide on Blood Bowl and Styx, Frogwares on Sherlock Holmes, Eugen Systems on Wargame, and Saber Interactive on SnowRunner. Its narrative releases include DON'T NOD's Vampyr and Asobo Studio's A Plague Tale: Innocence and A Plague Tale: Requiem. Focus also published Saber Interactive's Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 in 2024.

Brand and corporate evolution

Focus Home Interactive adopted the public name Focus Entertainment in September 2021. A further corporate restructuring took effect in April 2024: the listed parent became PulluP Entertainment SA, while the historic publishing operations continued under the Focus Entertainment brand through Focus Entertainment Publishing SAS. The publishing operation remains distinct from the group's separately operated development studios and other publishing labels.
