People Can Fly, the Polish studio behind Outriders and Gears of War: Judgment, has acquired Texas-based publisher Cooldown Games for an undisclosed sum. Cooldown, founded in 2024 by former Gearbox Publishing veterans, will operate as an independent publishing division within the People Can Fly Group. The acquisition aims to internalize go-to-market strategy, distribution management, and commercial optimization, while generating recurring revenue through third-party publishing agreements. The two companies previously collaborated on Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition. People Can Fly has faced significant layoffs and project cancellations in recent years due to market pressures, and sees this move as a way to regain traction and create revenue-generating publishing operations from the outset.
