Some game development studios transcend the titles they work on, becoming as popular and well-known as the games themselves. Bungie is one of those studios.
Based in Bellevue, Washington but currently supporting developers who work from home all over the U.S., Bungie is one of the most well-known and popular studios in the industry. In 2022, it was acquired by PlayStation for $3.6 billion.
While Bungie is widely known for its work on the Halo and Destiny franchises, the company began long before either title was released. In fact, its first game under the Bungie name was released way back in 1991. The studio currently has several new titles in development, too.
