Amplitude Studios focuses primarily on the development of titles for the
personal computer (PC), and uses
Steam's
Early Access programme, as well as Games2Gether, a crowd-sourcing and voting platform developed by Amplitude Studios, for players to suggest and vote on design choices that should be taken into games from Amplitude Studios, to create a player-centered experience. In July 2016,
Sega announced that it had acquired Amplitude Studios in order to expand its reach on the
PC gaming market. Founders Girard and de Waubert de Genlis stated that they agreed on the deal as they saw the opportunity to work alongside other Sega-owned studios, such as
Creative Assembly and
Relic Entertainment. Girard eventually left Amplitude in 2018 after the release of Endless Space 2 to start his own company "Tactical Adventures", and would later go on to release
Solasta: Crown of the Magister. Amplitude Studios bought itself out from Sega and became an independent company in November 2024. Sega would continue to support Amplitude's current and planned near-term games during a transition period. == Games developed ==
