Sound Games develops and publishes high-quality video games that follow a “pay once, play anywhere” model, letting customers access the same title across PC, console, and mobile without additional fees. Its first game, Go Ape Ship!, launches on February 18 and serves as a showcase for the studio’s cross-platform technology. The 12-person company was co-founded by Mike Schmid—former head of publishing at Rec Room and VP of growth at Backbone—along with Jacobo Abril and Sergio Abril, the founders of nada studio. Sound Games aims to avoid heavy in-game monetization, instead emphasizing replayability and premium game design. With fresh capital, the team plans to ship multiple original titles, enhance its cross-platform tech stack, and grow its development staff. The company has secured $6.5 million in seed funding to support these objectives. No revenue or user figures have been disclosed.
