Despite the commercial success of Squid Game: Unleashed, which surpassed 10 million downloads on Google Play alone, Boss Fight Team was closed as part of broader corporate changes at Netflix.
Rather than dispersing, the team made a deliberate decision to stay together and form a new independent studio.
With 30 developers and 14 years of average experience, the Sunwise Games team brings deep expertise across system-driven game design, live ops, scalable production pipelines, player-first monetization, and community-driven development, and has shipped hundreds of commercial titles and supported large player bases over the years.
Sunwise is currently developing its first project, a new original game shaped by the team’s shared history and creative philosophy. More details will be revealed in the coming months.
“This team is different because it consistently chooses discipline over hype and execution over aspiration. Sunwise reflects the kind of studio culture I believe the industry needs to build sustainable, high-quality games.
I created Sunwise because it’s the change I want to see in the games industry: clear scope, ethical monetization, and teams built to deliver reliably over time. The studio is designed as a durable business, not a short-term bet.
I’m excited to prove that this model works at scale. Sunwise is positioned to show that disciplined production and long-term thinking can create both strong returns and enduring games.
Irin Berry, Founder of Sunwise Games
