Psyonix Inc. is an American video game development studio based in San Diego, California. The company was formed in 2000 by Dave Hagewood, after developing Internet and multimedia software under the name WebSite Machines,[2] and legally incorporated on April 30, 2001.[1] Its first game project was Proteus.[2] In 2004, the company moved from its original Satellite Beach, Florida location to Raleigh, North Carolina, to Cary, North Carolina in 2005, and to San Diego, California in 2009.[3]

The company released Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars and Monster Madness: Grave Danger in 2008, and continued on other projects including contract work for several big-budget titles.[4] The company then worked on Battle-Cars's successor, Rocket League, which became a commercial success for the company, grossing over $70 million. The success of Rocket League caused the company to adjust its business models, where the company would focus on developing their own original games instead of accepting more contract work.[5]
