Psyonix

Psyonix Inc. is an American video game developer based in San Diego. The company was founded in 2000 by Dave Hagewood, after developing Internet and multimedia software. Its first game project was Proteus, which was canceled. In December 2009, Psyonix and its entire team moved from Raleigh, North Carolina, to new offices located close to the Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego.

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. The company then worked on Battle-Cars' successor, Rocket League, which became a commercial success for the company, grossing over US$70 million as of April 2016. The success of Rocket League caused the company to adjust its business models, whereby the company would focus on developing their own original games instead of accepting more contract work.
