Established in 2015 and publicly announced in December 2016, Gearbox Publishing emerged from Gearbox Software's ambitious vision to expand beyond development into what Randy Pitchford described as "other areas of capital growth," starting with People Can Fly's remastered Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition. Born from Gearbox's experience acquiring and publishing the Homeworld property in 2013, the publishing division was founded on the principle of being the "most developer-friendly publisher in the industry," helping creators around the world bring their products to market while retaining their unique creative visions and intellectual property rights. Through strategic partnerships with studios like Blackbird Interactive for Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, Compulsion Games for We Happy Few, and Hopoo Games for Risk of Rain 2, Gearbox Publishing has carved out a distinctive niche by offering transparent, collaborative relationships that include weekly developer meetings and hands-on support that extends from box factory visits to navigating international ratings boards. As part of The Gearbox Entertainment Company umbrella since 2019 and now operating under Take-Two Interactive since 2024, Gearbox Publishing continues to champion innovative indie and mid-tier projects, maintaining their commitment to preserving developer autonomy while providing the infrastructure and expertise needed to bring ambitious gaming experiences to global audiences across PC and console platforms.
