Streamline Studios,[1] founded in 2001, is a global creative and technology company for video games and beyond. Their partners include Capcom,[2] Microsoft, Coca-Cola,[3] Square Enix, BBC Sport,[4] and Balenciaga.[5] GenVid Technologies, Epic Games, Unity3D, and 2K Games.

History

Streamline was founded in 2001 in Hilversum, The Netherlands, by four young, passionate gamers with a gift for modding and developing original games; Alexander Fernandez,[6] Stefan Baier,[7] Adrian Banninga and Renier Banninga.[8] They sold their art and game development skills as a creative and technical outsourcing vendor to fund that passion. From there, they developed relationships with AAA developers and publishers and sought out like-minded people to partner with.

Stefan Baier, Adrian Banninga and Renier Banninga met during their stint at Rewolf Software, working on the Half-Life mod, Gunman Chronicles. When Rewolf Software dissolved, Baier and the Banninga brothers moved to The Netherlands, where they formed the company with Alexander Fernandez. In 2005 the company moved to Amsterdam where they operated for a few years, before moving to New York, US. In 2010, Streamline made the move to open in Southeast Asia, an emerging market[9] for video game development and gamers.

In 2021, Streamline announced its expansion of game development and services to its US-based headquarters in Las Vegas, NV.

This expansion plan supports the growth of multiple lines of business including Streamframe, its proprietary game development platform and diverse digital offerings centered around the metaverse and enterprise gaming in the Americas.[10]
