Shape the Future of Play with Stratton Studios
We don’t just help make games—we help craft experiences that players remember.
As a trusted co-development partner, Stratton Studios works with visionary teams to build, scale, and ship everything from breakout hits to global live-service games. If it pushes boundaries, we’re in.
You’ll join a remote-first crew of game makers who care deeply about player experience, fast iteration, and creative momentum.
We value curiosity over convention, progress over perfection, and trust over titles. If you’re the kind of person who prototypes before you pitch, and solves problems that don’t come with a manual, you’ll feel right at home here.
