WE ARE PAYLOAD STUDIOS
Payload Studios is an award-winning, independent games studio based in London.
We were founded in 2013 by Russ Clarke and Vincent Scheurer to make our flagship game, TerraTech. We’re now a team of passionate developers with a strong track record in PC, console and mobile.
OUR GAMES
Build the ultimate battle vehicle and rage against the machines in a chaotic Bullet Heaven Builder. Master a deep, block-based vehicle-building system to survive an army of robotic foes driven by a crazed AI, ramming them at speed and shooting infinite projectiles. Coming soon to Steam and Xbox.
OUR GAMES
TerraTech Worlds is our upcoming new game – a thrilling new open-world, PvE survival craft game set on distant alien planets. While it’s not a sequel to TerraTech, it is a spiritual successor, and we’re so excited to share it with our players! The game is available now in Early Access with continued updates and support planned. We have big plans for TerraTech Worlds and we’re always looking for new talent to join us!
OUR GAMES
Our main focus is TerraTech: a top-10 title on Steam which we self publish and which over 1 million players have enjoyed. TerraTech was successfully Kickstarted in 2014 and went in to Steam Early Access shortly afterwards. It came out of Early Access in 2018 and was launched on PS4, XboxOne and Switch. We have ambitious plans for the TerraTech IP, going into new genres, platforms and territories, and we’re looking for outstanding game developers to join us and help make it happen.
We specialise in community-driven development. TerraTech is developed with our community having full transparency and direct involvement into what we’re working as early as possible and throughout. We constantly listen, discuss and present new work amongst our whole team and with our players. We’re built on the principle that everyone gets a say in how we make our games more awesome.
