1047 Games was founded in 2017 by Ian Proulx and Nicholas Bagamian while they were computer science students at Stanford University, taking its name from the address of the dorm room where the company began. The studio's breakout title, Splitgate, combined classic arena-shooter combat with portal-based movement mechanics reminiscent of Portal and Halo, and it grew from a class project into a free-to-play hit on Steam after its 2019 release, eventually helping the company raise more than $100 million in venture funding, including a $100 million round in 2021. 1047 Games has operated as a fully remote studio, growing from roughly 15 employees during Splitgate's original run to more than 200 during development of its ambitious sequel. In 2022 the studio announced it would stop updating the original Splitgate to focus on Splitgate 2, a larger-scale, live-service shooter rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5. Splitgate 2 launched in June 2025 but drew sharp criticism over its monetization, including a roughly $70 cosmetic bundle, and over a controversial promotional appearance by CEO Ian Proulx at Summer Game Fest. The company responded by pulling the game back into a beta-style rebuild, laying off staff, and having its co-founders forgo salaries while reworking core systems. The game was relaunched in December 2025 as Splitgate: Arena Reloaded, emphasizing competitive integrity and clearer progression systems, and the studio has since begun early access on a new 6v6 movement shooter called Empulse, positioned as a spiritual successor to Titanfall, alongside additional staff reductions in mid-2026.
