About 
Ironwood Studios

Ironwood Studios is a team full of people with a variety of backgrounds, beliefs, and experience from across the industry. Based in Seattle, WA (with some folks remote), we’re proud to be a studio that so many talented and wonderful individuals call home.

Since the start of the studio in late 2019, we’ve put a huge emphasis on the way we work. As a studio our goal from day one has been making games in a sustainable and healthy way for the people on the team. For our projects, we’ve invested heavily into tools and systems that let us build games bigger and faster. Creatively, we are driven forward with a passion for surreal settings and compelling gameplay. We believe the best stories are ones where the player's experiences and actions take a front seat in helping to tell them.

We’ve been hard at work on our debut title Pacific Drive, which launched on Steam, EGS, and PlayStation 5 on February 22nd 2024. From every part of Ironwood - Design, Production, Narrative, Engineering, Art, Audio and QA - We’re all happy to have you along for the journey and can’t wait for you to see more.
