Game Swing

Game Swing is an independent Danish game development studio based in Copenhagen. Its work focuses on social play, with multiplayer, party and cooperative games for PC, consoles and mobile devices. Across its projects, the studio combines accessible action, physics-based mechanics and arcade gameplay with experiences built around playing together.

The studio began in 2013 after a group of game design students from the IT University of Copenhagen created an experimental dodgeball prototype at the Nordic Game Jam. The team established the business as Reign Bros and later adopted the public name Game Swing. That early prototype provided the foundation for its debut commercial release, Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure.

From dodgeball to cooperative shooters

Released in April 2016 through Curve Digital, Stikbold! brought a colorful 1970s aesthetic to couch multiplayer dodgeball. It launched on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with an expanded Deluxe edition subsequently reaching Nintendo Switch. The game established dodgeball and chaotic local multiplayer as recurring elements in the studio's early work.

Game Swing continued exploring that territory with OddBallers, published by Ubisoft in January 2023 for PC and consoles. The multiplayer party game extended the studio's experience with dodgeball-based action. Its portfolio also includes SpotRacers, a mobile racing and car-collecting game co-developed with Level Up Garage, broadening its work beyond party games into mobile play.

In August 2025, the studio released GUNTOUCHABLES on Steam with Ghost Ship Publishing. The online cooperative roguelite shooter supports one to four players facing mutant hordes. Its risk-management system allows enemies to become stronger through upgrades players leave behind, bringing a different form of shared decision-making to the studio's multiplayer focus.

Game Swing's capabilities span full-cycle game development, prototyping, co-development and porting. Its release history combines original projects with publishing and development partnerships, covering local multiplayer, online cooperation and mobile games while retaining a recurring emphasis on social gameplay.
