About

PQube is a video game publisher based in the United Kingdom, founded in 2009. The company is well-known for localizing and distributing Japanese video games, particularly visual novels and anime-styled titles, in Western markets. They also publish and distribute various indie games across multiple platforms, including consoles and PC.
During its formative years, the publisher established its market presence by securing distribution rights for prominent niche titles. Among its earliest major releases were the European distributions of the fighting game Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus (2008/2009) across multiple platforms, and the racing title Ski-Doo Snowmobile Challenge (2009). These partnerships helped the company build a robust network for physical and digital distribution in PAL territories.
Over the subsequent decade, the company expanded its portfolio by partnering with Japanese developers such as Arc System Works. This collaboration led to the Western release of highly regarded franchises, including the BlazBlue series and the critically acclaimed visual novel Steins;Gate. Beyond fighting games and visual novels, the publisher diversified into indie titles, securing physical retail releases for games like Cat Quest and publishing the cult-classic GalGun* series. Through these targeted releases, the company carved out a distinct market position as a bridge between niche Asian developers and Western audiences, maintaining a strong focus on physical collector's editions.
