Backseat Gaming launches as fully independent studio

9 September 2026
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Backseat Gaming has officially launched as a fully independent studio, powered by a proprietary RGS and dedicated to creating and delivering player-led content to a global audience.
After two years of internal development and extensive testing, the studio is now operating entirely on its own technology stack, built and controlled from the ground up by an expert in-house team.
The move marks a new chapter for the ambitious studio, which already has games live with a host of operators and platforms, including a recent integration with Hub88. Now fully in charge of its own roadmap, with one new game launched every week, Backseat Gaming is set to accelerate delivery of its expanding games portfolio to partners worldwide. The studio also plans to roll out a series of bespoke titles created exclusively for select operators.
Backseat Gaming utilizes cutting-edge AI and advanced technologies alongside a human touch to shape the future of slots with games players love. Prioritizing clean, simple gameplay combined with a drive to be bold, the studio continues to build momentum with standout titles such as Born in Hell, Toad Town and Totem Tower Bonanza among current player favorites.
Espen Oeye, Co-Founder and CEO at Backseat Gaming, said: “This is a defining moment for Backseat Gaming, after years of dedicated work by our team to create a studio that’s entirely our own.
“Having full ownership of our technology and roadmap means we can move faster and stay closer to what players really want. We’re looking forward to building on the momentum we have already gained, as we continue expanding our reach across the global iGaming industry.”
