Coffee Stain Studios

Coffee Stain Studios is a Swedish video game developer and publisher based in Skövde, Sweden. Founded in 2010 by nine students from the University of Skövde, the studio started as a small indie team and has grown into a key part of the Coffee Stain Group (under Embracer Group ownership). They are famous for creating quirky, creative, and highly replayable games with a focus on fun, chaos, and community. Their mission is simple: “Enabling unique games to live up to their full potential.”
The original Coffee Stain Studios (Skövde) primarily develops and maintains Satisfactory, while the broader Coffee Stain Group acts as a publisher and includes multiple sister studios handling other titles. They are known for blending humor, innovative mechanics, and strong multiplayer/co-op experiences.
Notable Games (Developed or Published)
Coffee Stain has a diverse catalog ranging from tower defense and chaotic simulators to factory-building epics and survival hits:

Satisfactory (Early Access 2019, 1.0 full release September 2024) — Their flagship title. A first-person open-world factory-building game with exploration, combat, and automation on an alien planet. Play solo or with friends to build massive factories, unlock tech, and optimize production lines. It’s one of the most popular factory sims ever, with ongoing updates (including Update 1.1 in early 2025 and console edition in 2025). Available on PC, with console versions (PS5, Xbox Series X|S) released or expanded in 2025.
Goat Simulator series — The breakout hit (2014) that made them famous for absurd physics-based chaos. Includes Goat Simulator 3 (2022, with 2024 console/mobile ports) and Goat Simulator: Remastered (November 2024, on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S). Pure silly fun where you play as a goat causing mayhem.
Sanctum and Sanctum 2 (2011–2013) — Tower defense shooters with first-person elements.
Valheim (publisher) — Viking survival and exploration hit.
Deep Rock Galactic (publisher) — Co-op dwarf mining shooter.
Huntdown, Midnight Ghost Hunt, Songs of Conquest, As We Descend, and newer additions like Teardown (publishing on consoles in 2025), Fellowship (joined portfolio in late 2025), and Into the Unwell (co-op action roguelite in Early Access).

They also publish or support games from other studios, including Welcome to Bloxburg (Roblox) via Coffee Stain Göteborg and mobile efforts from Coffee Stain Malmö.
Platforms and Availability (as of 2026)
Most titles are available on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), with many expanding to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch (or Switch 2 for some ports like Valheim), and mobile. Satisfactory and Goat Simulator entries shine on PC for high customization and performance, while console versions offer accessible co-op and big-screen chaos. Many games support cross-play or have strong multiplayer communities.
