About Survios
Survios is an American video game developer and publisher focused on immersive virtual reality experiences, with a portfolio spanning VR, PC and console games. Established in 2013, the independent studio is based in Marina del Rey, California. Its development work combines game design, engineering, animation and hardware integration to create interactive experiences built around physical movement and player presence.
The company grew out of Project Holodeck, a research initiative at the University of Southern California exploring full-body, six-degree-of-freedom virtual reality. That experimental background informed its early commercial games and its emphasis on translating players’ movements into responsive interactions within virtual environments.
Original games and entertainment adaptations
Survios gained prominence with Raw Data, a cooperative science-fiction action game released in 2016. Its subsequent original projects included the movement-focused racing game Sprint Vector and the music creation experience Electronauts, both released in 2018. These games explored different uses of VR, from fast physical locomotion to interactive musical performance.
Alongside its original properties, the studio has worked with entertainment companies to adapt established franchises. Its projects include Creed: Rise to Glory with MGM, Westworld: Awakening with HBO and The Walking Dead: Onslaught with AMC. It later collaborated with 20th Century Games on the narrative action-horror game Alien: Rogue Incursion.
Development across platforms
In 2021, Survios broadened its work beyond VR exclusivity through projects including Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions and Puzzle Bobble 3D: Vacation Odyssey. Its capabilities encompass full-cycle development, publishing, platform adaptation and console remastering, alongside VR hardware and software integration.
The studio released Alien: Rogue Incursion in 2024, followed by its Evolved Edition in 2025. It has also developed content for commercial VR and location-based entertainment. Together, these projects reflect a business spanning original game creation, licensed adaptations and the extension of immersive game concepts across different platforms and play environments.
More about Survios
Founders and leadership
The Project Holodeck founding team comprised Nathan Burba, James Iliff, Alexander Silkin and Graham Matuszewski. The research identifies Seth Gerson as Chief Executive Officer, TQ Jefferson as Chief Product Officer and Alexander Silkin as Chief Technology Officer during the development of Alien: Rogue Incursion; it does not establish post-restructuring appointments.
Publishing and distribution model
Survios established 2124 Publishing in 2021 to support independent developers through financing, platform relations and publishing services. Its NetVios venture was formed with NetEase Games in 2018 as a 50/50 partnership serving consumer and commercial VR channels in China. Beyond localization and distribution, NetVios developed the NetVios Mini commercial VR kiosk and raised Series A funding in 2022 led by OPPO's Xunxing Investment.
Commercial milestones
The report identifies Raw Data as the first VR game to top Steam's global sales charts and generate $1 million in revenue within a single month. Survios raised an initial $4 million Series A round in 2014 led by Shasta Ventures, followed by a $50 million investment round in 2016 led by MGM and Lux Capital.
