Amplitude Studios SASU is a French video game developer based in Paris. The studio was founded in January 2011 by former Ubisoft employees Romain de Waubert de Genlis and Mathieu Girard. It was acquired by Sega Sammy Holdings in June 2016 and became part of Sega Europe. Amplitude became independent again through a management buyout in 2024.
History 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.
