Pixelopus

PixelOpus is a video game development studio based in San Mateo, California, United States. It operates as part of Sony Interactive Entertainment's Worldwide Studios, producing games for PlayStation platforms. The studio is best known for Entwined, released in 2014, and Concrete Genie, released in 2019. Entwined is a stylized arcade game that blends flight and rhythm mechanics, featuring two dragons whose movements must be coordinated to collect orbs and traverse a luminous, abstract world. Concrete Genie is an action-adventure title that emphasizes creative expression; players guide a young artist and use a graffiti-driven magic to restore a polluted city, painting the world to generate living, reactive visuals and allies.

PixelOpus is recognized for its distinctive art direction, often emphasizing bold colors, fluid animation, and inventive gameplay ideas within relatively compact game experiences. The studio's projects reflect Sony's broader interest in experimental, artistically framed experiences that broaden the range of PlayStation's catalog.

As with many internal Sony studios, PixelOpus' activities have remained relatively low-profile in public announcements since Concrete Genie. The studio's published games illustrate a focus on approachable, visually striking experiences that appeal to a broad audience, as well as a willingness to experiment with core mechanics and narrative presentation within a small-team framework.
