Founded in 2014, Sold Out Sales and Marketing Limited partnered with various indie developers and publishers, such as Team17, to bring digital titles to physical retail. They handled the physical releases for major indie hits including Overcooked and Yooka-Laylee. In March 2022, the company officially rebranded to Fireshine Games.
The company established its market presence by securing distribution rights for high-profile console ports and special editions. An early milestone was the physical distribution of
The Walking Dead [Game of the Year] in 2014, which helped solidify the publisher's reputation for managing retail logistics for acclaimed episodic content.
As the market for physical indie games expanded, the publisher specialized in deluxe and collector's editions. This included the release of
Overcooked! [Gourmet Edition] in 2016, which bundled the base game with additional downloadable content for retail shelves. The company also catered directly to crowdfunding campaigns, managing the manufacturing and shipment of the
Yooka-Laylee [Kickstarter Backer Edition] in 2017, alongside the standard retail versions of
Yooka-Laylee that same year. Their portfolio further expanded with spin-offs and sequels, such as the platformer
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair in 2015. Through these targeted physical releases, the publisher bridged the gap between digital-first development and traditional brick-and-mortar retail, establishing a robust distribution pipeline across Europe and North America.
