Maximum Games, Inc. is an American video game publisher based in Walnut Creek, California.[1] Originally founded in 2009 as a publisher of family-oriented titles for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii, the company shifted to publishing games of all genres for all ages across all platforms shortly after inception.[2]

Maximum Games has acted as a sub-publisher and North American distributor for many other major video game publishers including Nacon, Microids, Funcom, and Focus Home Interactive. Some of the most notable franchises they have partnered on include the Farming Simulator series, Five Nights at Freddy's, Bendy and the Ink Machine, Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid, Divinity: Original Sin, and the WRC series.[3]

Maximum Games expanded into funding and development with a new publishing label in 2018 called Modus Games.[4] In 2019, the company acquired its first studio, Brazilian-based The Balance, Inc. and rebranded it as Modus Studios Brazil.[5] In 2024, Maximum Games was grouped together with several other related publisher labels under the parent brand Maximum Entertainment.[6]
