XD Inc. is a Chinese developer and publisher headquartered in Shanghai, founded in 2007 by Huang Yimeng and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since December 2019. Outside its own games, the company is best known for TapTap, the game distribution platform and community storefront it operates, which has made XD a familiar name to mobile players across Asia while the publishing side of the business built a portfolio of mobile and PC titles that it both publishes and operates. That combination of storefront and publisher gives XD a footing that most Western players first encounter through a single credit line on Steam rather than through the company itself, which is worth understanding before browsing this catalogue.
The title that brings XD to PJ's Games is Torchlight II, the 2012 action RPG developed by Runic Games, the Seattle studio founded in 2008 and closed in November 2017. Runic had been acquired by Perfect World Entertainment in 2010, and Perfect World held the Torchlight publishing rights after the studio shut its doors, so XD is not the game's creator or original publisher - it is the current publisher of record for the Steam release. XD's own hand in the series is Torchlight: Infinite, a later free-to-play entry it develops and operates, which is why the credit now sits with a company invested in keeping the Torchlight name active. For players, the practical upshot is simple: Runic's dungeon crawler is still available, still supported on Steam, and stocked here under XD's publisher listing.
