Goat Simulator Maker Coffee Stain Closes Malmö Mobile Studio

The move reflects pressure from Embracer’s restructuring across a downsizing games industry.

Overview

  • Coffee Stain confirmed the shutdown through a LinkedIn post by mobile VP Daniel Persson, who said his role ended with the closure.
  • The Malmö team lists about 17 employees on its website, and Coffee Stain has not confirmed layoffs or reassignments.
  • Formed in 2021, the studio handled mobile development and publishing, including the 2023 Goat Simulator mobile port and work on Songs of Conquest with Mediocre.
  • Coffee Stain Publishing was spun off from Embracer Group in 2025, part of a wider corporate split that followed layoffs, project cancellations, and studio closures.
  • Reporters have asked Coffee Stain for details on staff outcomes and project handovers, leaving the status of ongoing mobile work unclear until the company responds.
