Vivid Games is one of the leading polish mobile game developers. For over a decade we’ve been working on some amazing games including Real Boxing, the world’s best and most recognizable mobile boxing franchise. 

We are a team of over 70 passionate individuals on a mission to entertain players with great games. To deliver on that promise, we take creative risks and set our goals high. Our vision is to be a world-class mobile studio with globally acclaimed hit titles.

We’re innovative and dynamic. We work in small, Agile teams and foster our culture and the quality of the work environment. The games we publish are developed by internal teams and external studios as well as from the publishing programs. We work remotely, having offices in Bydgoszcz and Warsaw (Poland).
