Nintendo

Nintendo

Based Out Of: Kyoto, Japan

Nintendo really showed up to save gaming as a whole after the video game crash of 1983.
And ever since its Nintendo Entertainment System injected life back into video games on
the American market, the Japanese-based company has commanded a huge slice of the
pie in the gaming market. Nintendo's home console business is always strong, plus the
way it utilizes its vault of iconic characters to reach other forms of media and attach them
to major merchandising opportunities is major. You can't talk about the top gaming
companies of all time and not mention the house that Mario built.
2. Tencent Games

Tencent Games

Tencent Games, which is the video game publishing division of Tencent Interactive

grabbing PC and mobile games brought forth by Tencent. On the ownership front,
Tencent has financial stakes invested in other gaming companies like Riot Games, Epic
Games, and Activision Blizzard.
Epic Games

The gaming publisher/developer giant known for bringing the world Fortnite is none
other than Epic Games. Besides its introduction of the most popular battle royale shooter

engine that's used to create internal and external video game projects. Epic Games also
owns a few development studios that are also crucial to its success - those studios include
Psyonix, Mediatonic, and Harmonix. And when you factor in the Epic Game Store, Epic
Games as a whole has its arms in different company ventures that yield grand results.
The Pokémon Company

The Pokémon franchise is still a juggernaut that has a foothold in gaming, TV, movies,
collectible cards, toys, etc. Thanks to the efforts of The Pokémon Company, the global
reach of the world's cutest and most celebrated "Pocket Monsters" is massive. The brand
management, production, publishing, marketing, and licensing efforts of
the Pokémon franchise as a whole are all due in part to what this company does. You can
thank The Pokémon Company for all the entertaining manga/anime, games, and precious
plush dolls lifted from one of Nintendo's most recognized IPs.
Sony / PlayStation

Based Out Of: Minato, Tokyo, Japan

After a deal between Nintendo and Sony that was meant to create a CD-ROM
collaboration console fell through, Sony sought to make a play for itself as a gaming
pillar. In 1995, the first Sony PlayStation arrived to make that goal attainable. Ever since
the PS1 arrived, Sony has risen to the top as one of the foremost gaming
publishers/developers in this current day and age. The PlayStation console line is home to
some of the greatest first-party games on the market, plus Sony's assorted gaming
endeavors have led to successful multimedia ventures in the movie and TV realms.
6. Microsoft (Xbox)

Microsoft

Based Out Of: Redmond, Washington, United States

November 15, 2001, marks a monumental day in the history of the historic tech giant
known as Microsoft. And that's because that's the monumental date when the original
Xbox console entered the console arms race. Since then, Microsoft has stayed in the top
three alongside Sony and Nintendo - its home console business, PC gaming projects, and
Xbox Game Pass subscription service are the biggest reasons why Microsoft is
recognized by gamers as a paramount gaming entity.
7. Capcom

Capcom

Based Out Of: Chūō-ku, Osaka

Capcom's 80s and 90s dominance is the stuff of legend. And nowadays, the Japanese
gaming publisher/developer is still a mainstay thanks to its beloved franchises. Street
Fighter, Mega Man, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and more have reached iconic status
in the gaming world. As one of the world's biggest third-party gaming publishers,
Capcom has raised its stock to world-renowned levels and spread out its influence all
across other forms of media. The box office success of the Resident Evil movies is reason
enough to showcase why we think Capcom has every right to be acknowledged as one of
the top gaming companies.

8. Ubisoft
Ubisoft

Based Out Of: Montreuil, France

Rayman. Sam Fisher. The Rabbids. And the lethal assassins hailing from the blockbuster
gaming franchise Assassin's Creed all come from the house of Ubisoft. The French third-

adaptations tied to The Prince of Persia and Assassin's Creed series, Ubisoft's
mainstream reach has gone far and wide.

few thanks to Bandai Namco.
Take-Two Interactive

Based Out Of: New York, NY

Take-Two Interactive has earned the honor of being one of the most revered video game
holding companies due to these significant game publishers/development studios falling
under its umbrella. Those studios include Rockstar Games, 2K, Private Division, and
Social Point. With blockbuster IPs linked to Take-Two, such as Grand Theft Auto, Red
Dead Redemption, NBA 2K, and Borderlands, it's easy to see why this recognizable
gaming institution is known as one of the top gaming companies.
Sega

Based Out Of: Shinagawa, Tokyo

Genesis. Saturn. Dreamcast. Sonic the Hedgehog. Yakuza. Those three examples of home
console hardware and two uber-successful gaming IPs are forever tied to the one gaming
company that challenged Nintendo for the top spot in gaming during the 90s. Sega's
legendary status has been solidified by its past run as one of the top gaming console
manufacturers and currently one of Japan's most respected publishers. With a wide
variety of IPs covering several genres and the smashing success of the Sonic the
Hedgehog movies, Sega is riding high in this day and age.
Activision Blizzard

Based Out Of: Santa Monica, California

When Activision, Inc. and Vivendi Games entered into a merger, a powerful union was
born in the process. This gaming giant's catalog of IPs regularly sells insane numbers
every time they produce a new series entry. The current king of first-person shooters
(Call of Duty), the biggest top-down action RPG (Diablo), and two of the premiere
strategy RPGs that PC players hold in high regard (Warcraft and Starcraft) are all a part
of the gaming giant that is Activision Blizzard.
Square Enix

Based Out Of: Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan

The merger between Square and Enix brought together two of the biggest Japanese
powerhouses in the world of role-playing games. If you're a fan of mega-hit franchises
such as Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Kingdom Hearts, then you owe your thanks
and appreciation to this Japanese gaming favorite. What makes this merger even more
prominent is the third gaming company that's housed within it (Taito).
Embracer Group

Based Out Of: Karlstad, Sweden

Embracer Group (formerly known as Nordic Games), which is a Swedish-based video

game and media holding company, is definitely interested in the business of acquisitions.
Just look at this list of subsidiaries that the company has within its possession - THQ
Nordic, Deep Silver, Saber Interactive, Gearbox Entertainment, Crystal Dynamics, and
Eidos-Montréal are a few of the big names attached to Embrace Group. And by the looks
and sounds of it, it may be getting its hands on even more big-name gaming
publishers/developers sooner rather than later.
Warner Bros. Games

Based Out Of: Burbank, CA

Warner Bros. Discovery's video game publishing arm has a ton of colossal IPs that are
either longtime gaming staples or titles that feature the WB's best and brightest characters.

then you have games like MultiVersus, the Batman: Arkham series, and the vast
assemblage of LEGO-based titles that showcase WB's cherished licensed characters.
NCSOFT

Based Out Of: Seongnam-si, South Korea

NCSoft Corporation acquired its worthy placement alongside the other top gaming
