Panic Button is a mid-sized game development studio based in Austin, Texas. Founded in late 2007 by a group of industry veterans, the company began in a small office and gradually grew through collaboration on a mix of internal and external projects. In its early years the team worked largely behind the scenes, contributing to titles under development by other studios and handling technical tasks such as memory management for Dragon Age: Origins on consoles and server stability for Star Wars: The Old Republic, as well as work related to ReCore and online play for Ms. Splosion Man. The company positions itself as a porting and optimization partner for publishers and developers seeking console experiences across platforms. Notable collaborations include bringing Rocket League to Xbox One and adding 4K support on PS4 Pro, followed by a Switch release, and in 2025 the company was reported to be developing the PlayStation 5 port of Forza Horizon 5 for Playground Games and Xbox Game Studios. Within the computer games industry, Panic Button continues to support cross platform releases and adaptations for established titles.
