1047 Games began with the simple principle that people should have fun while making great games. Bucking convention and driven by a passion to create the ultimate gaming experience, Ian Proulx and Nicholas Bagamian founded 1047 Games in 2017 in their Stanford dorm room. Their love for arena shooters of the past drove them to create Splitgate, a unique sci-fi first-person shooter that adds portal guns to upend the genre.

What started as two computer science majors putting portals into a first-person shooter for a project demo has evolved into a VC-backed company which has raised more than

$120MM in funding.

1047 Games is an innovative video game development studio, renowned for creating the popular free-to-play multiplayer first-person shooter, Splitgate. Founded in a Stanford dorm room by Ian Proulx and Nicholas Bagamian, the company was born from a passion for classic arena shooters and a desire to introduce groundbreaking mechanics to the genre. Their flagship title, Splitgate, ingeniously combines the fast-paced action of traditional first-person shooters with the strategic depth of player-controlled portals, a concept inspired by iconic games like Halo and Portal. This unique fusion allows for unprecedented tactical maneuvers and high-flying, multi-dimensional combat, effectively redefining the FPS experience.

What began as a senior project in computer science quickly evolved into a venture capital-backed enterprise, attracting significant funding and a rapidly growing global player base. 1047 Games operates as a permanently remote studio, a decision that has enabled them to assemble a diverse and exceptionally talented team from some of the world's leading gaming and technology companies.
