Fireshine Games is a British video game publisher based in London. Founded in 2009, it was originally known as International Business Ninjas Sales & Marketing Limited, later becoming Sold Out Sales and Marketing Limited before rebranding to Fireshine Games in March 2022. The company operates as a subsidiary of Swedish holding group Enad Global 7 (EG7).
Fireshine Games publishes both digital and physical titles, with a strong emphasis on supporting independent developers. It has distributed boxed editions for established partners while also scouting new digital projects from smaller studios.
History
The company was established in 2009 under the name International Business Ninjas Sales & Marketing Limited. In December 2013, it became Sold Out Sales and Marketing Limited following a spin-out from the Mastertronic Group. Sold Out built a reputation for providing physical distribution services to developers such as Team17, Rebellion Developments, and Frontier Developments.
In 2020, Sold Out was acquired by Enad Global 7 as part of EG7’s publishing expansion strategy. In March 2022, the company rebranded as **Fireshine Games**, adopting a new identity to reflect its increased focus on digital indie publishing while retaining physical distribution partnerships.
Operations
Fireshine operates with a dual focus:
- Digital publishing – seeking out and publishing independent titles, often from small or debut studios.
- Physical distribution – providing retail editions for larger developers and publishers, continuing long-standing partnerships.
The company has worked with studios such as Pugstorm, Spiral Circus, White Paper Games, and Stonewheat & Sons. It has also collaborated with NEOWIZ to release physical editions of the action role-playing game Lies of P.
