President Studio

President Studio is a Polish video game developer and publisher based in Warsaw. Founded in 2018, it creates original narrative simulators, sandbox games and strategy titles, with a focus on low-to-mid-budget productions for PC and consoles. Its work combines simulation mechanics with distinctive settings, from political decision-making to crime-scene cleaning and historical city building.

Its publishing activities include project financing, production mentoring, marketing and commercialization guidance, alongside digital distribution and console porting management. Steam is its primary PC distribution platform, while console adaptations extend its games to Xbox and Nintendo Switch.

Games and development slate

Crime Scene Cleaner, released on August 14, 2024, became the studio’s breakout title. The dark-comedy simulator puts players to work cleaning crime scenes for the mob. It received an “Overwhelmingly Positive” player-review rating on Steam, sold more than 500,000 copies within four months and subsequently exceeded one million Steam sales.

The company also published I Am Your President, released in February 2023, a political strategy simulator built around presidential decisions. Its broader portfolio includes Celestial Empire, a historical city-building simulation set in ancient China that entered release or Early Access in September 2025. Its announced development slate also includes Ship Builder, focused on ship construction and management, and Viking City Builder, a Viking-themed survival city builder.

President Studio operates as a distinct company within the PlayWay group, with its own management and public listing. PlayWay is its majority shareholder and frequently collaborates as a co-publisher on major titles. This relationship accompanies a business model that brings together the studio’s own productions and publishing support for third-party projects.
