About us

Independent games, made in Sweden

Midnight Interactive Studios is an independent game development studio based in Sweden. We build our own games, and right now that means the sport we play ourselves: padel.

Independent

We own what we make and decide what we make. No publisher deadlines, no features built for a pitch deck.

Made in Sweden

Based in Sweden, where padel courts are everywhere. Our reference group is never far away.

One focus at a time

Right now that is PRO PADEL 27. Every hour goes into making it the padel game we want to play.

Why the name? Most of our early work happened after the day job ended. The studio is named after the hours it was made in.
