Founded in 2008, PM Studios Inc. specializes in publishing and distributing independent and rhythm-based video games in North America. The company has partnered with developers like Pentavision and Nurijoy to bring titles to platforms such as the PlayStation Portable, PlayStation Vita, and Nintendo Switch.
The company's early portfolio includes the distribution of the PlayStation Portable title
X in 2005. PM Studios subsequently established its presence in the music-game market by publishing
DJ Max Fever in 2009, alongside its specialized
DJ Max Fever [Crew] edition. This release helped popularize the Korean rhythm franchise in Western territories.
Building on this foundation, the publisher collaborated on the spiritual successor
Superbeat: XONiC in 2015. To cater to collectors, the initial launch was accompanied by physical variants, including
Superbeat: XONiC Limited Edition] and the highly exclusive [Superbeat: XONiC The X-OTIC] package. Following its initial PlayStation Vita release, PM Studios expanded the game's reach by publishing [Superbeat: XONiC in 2017 for additional home consoles, securing its reputation for bringing niche, high-speed rhythm gameplay to global audiences.
