Blumhouse Games is an American video game publisher headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Founded in February 2023 by Jason Blum, Blumhouse Games is a video game production subsidiary of Blumhouse Productions that creates horror titles.[1]
Blumhouse Games was founded in February 2023 by Jason Blum to produce horror-themed games for console, PC, and mobile platforms, marking the company's entry into the video game industry. The gaming division focuses on indie budget projects with production costs below $10 million.[2]
