Paramount Launches Games Studio for IP Titles

June 8, 2026 - 22:57

Paramount has officially formed a new internal video game development division called Paramount Games Studio. The studio will create both casual mobile games and high-budget AAA titles based on the company's extensive library of film and television intellectual property. The move signals a major push by the entertainment giant to bring game development in-house rather than relying solely on external licensing deals.

The new studio will be led by Tony Driscoll, a veteran of the gaming industry with experience at major publishers. Driscoll will oversee a team of seasoned developers who have worked on a range of successful titles. The studio's goal is to produce games that capture the spirit of Paramount's most popular franchises, from action blockbusters to family-friendly animated series.

Paramount's decision comes as other media companies have struggled to translate their IP into successful video games. By building a dedicated team, the company hopes to maintain tighter control over quality and creative direction. No specific game projects or release dates have been announced yet, but the studio is expected to focus on franchises with strong global appeal. The formation of Paramount Games Studio represents a significant bet on the growing intersection of Hollywood and interactive entertainment.
