Press Play was a Danish video game development company known for creating innovative and engaging games. The company was founded in 2006 by Rune Dittmer, Mikkel Thorsted, and Ole Teglbjærg. Press Play gained recognition for its unique approach to game design and its ability to create compelling gameplay experiences.

History

Press Play was established in Copenhagen, Denmark, with the goal of developing high-quality video games. The founders, Rune Dittmer, Mikkel Thorsted, and Ole Teglbjærg, brought together their expertise in game development to create a studio that focused on creativity and innovation.

In 2012, Press Play was acquired by Microsoft Studios, which provided the company with additional resources and support to develop new titles. This acquisition allowed Press Play to reach a wider audience and further establish its reputation in the gaming industry.

Notable Games

Press Play is best known for several notable games, including:

  • Max: The Curse of Brotherhood - An action-adventure game that follows the story of a young boy named Max who embarks on a journey to rescue his kidnapped brother. The game features a unique drawing mechanic that allows players to manipulate the environment to solve puzzles.
  • Kalimba - A puzzle-platformer game that challenges players to control two totem pieces simultaneously, navigating through intricate levels filled with obstacles and enemies.

Closure

Despite its success, Press Play faced challenges in the competitive gaming market. In 2016, Microsoft announced the closure of Press Play as part of a restructuring effort. The closure marked the end of a decade-long journey for the company, but its games continue to be enjoyed by players around the world.

Legacy

Press Play's legacy lives on through its innovative games and the impact it had on the gaming industry. The company's commitment to creativity and quality has left a lasting impression on both players and developers.
