Background

The company was formed through the reorganization of Disruptor Beam, a game studio that was founded in 2010 as a social network game developer.[4] The company created Game of Thrones Ascent, a social and mobile game based on Game of Thrones franchise[5][6][7] released on Facebook and web platforms in 2013, followed by iOS and Android devices in 2014.[8]

In 2014, the company announced a partnership with CBS to create Star Trek Timelines, a strategy roleplaying game featuring characters from Star Trek.[9]

In 2020, Beamable was reorganized and subsequently funded with $5 million for a new Unity-based platform to support backend and live operations for online games,[10] and announced raising a total of $10M as of November 2021.[11]
