Team6 Game Studios B.V. is a Dutch privately owned video game developer based in Assen. It was founded in 2001, but it initially developed several games under a different company name. In 2003 the founders decided to change it to the current title. The company currently employs approximately 40 individuals and is headed by director Ronnie Nelis.

The video game company has developed more than 80 games until 2017. It has developed games for PC, Steam, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Android, Amazon, iOS, Oculus, HTC Vive, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch. The majority of its titles are racing games, but it has also worked on other genres like action-shooters. It is best known for its work on the Monster Jam games and mobile titles like Flatout Stuntman. Currently it is also working on health and exercise games and VR titles. Team6 Game Studio primarily develops games for other companies, but has been working on titles of their own since 2016.

History

Team6’s first project was a fighting game called Deathcompatible, developed for a contest of the game magazine PC Zone.[1] The studio won the contest and as a prize the game would be released, however the publisher who would do so closed its doors shortly after.[2] This didn't stop the team from developing games, and after finding a new publisher their first official title was released: Taxi Challenge Berlin.[3] In the years after, they specialized themselves in racing games and created dozens of titles over the years. Most of their games were developed for PC, but starting in 2009 they also developed several titles for Nintendo Wii.[4] [5] [6] The studios' Engine Six was one of the first engines that supported Nintendo Wii and Nintendo 3DS. [7]

Along the way the studio also started developing mobile games for Android and iOs. In 2013 Team6 created Flaout Stuntman in collaboration with Nvidia. The Android game was used as a showcase for Nvidia because it supported specific features of the Tegra mobile processor.[8] [9]

In 2014 Team6 partnered up with the health and wellness startup Blue Goji. Their first title was the iOs game Super Sonic Racers.[10] In 2016 they released their first VR title: DinoFense.[11]
