Thatgamecompany, the studio behind artistic titles like Journey and Sky: Children of the Light, has launched its own publishing label, Thatgamepublisher. The new imprint will be funded through profits generated by Sky: Children of the Light, the studio's free-to-play mobile game. The move represents an expansion beyond development into supporting external projects aligned with the studio's creative philosophy.
- Thatgamecompany is backing a publishing venture financed by its most commercially successful title to date.
- The label signals the studio's intent to nurture games beyond its own portfolio that share its artistic sensibility.
