Aggro Crab is an American video game development company located in Seattle, Washington.
History
[edit]The company was founded on January 1, 2019.[1] The first game developed by the company was Going Under, a game about attempting to start a company, and the pressures that come with it.[2] The first game published by the studio was Subway Midnight, where the developer received 100% of the sales unless the game sold over ten thousand copies.[3]
In April 2024, the company released Another Crab's Treasure, which outsold the team's expectations, selling several times as many copies as internal sales forecasts predicted.[4]
In June 2025, the company partnered with Landfall Games to release Peak, a cooperative climbing video game.[5] The game sold over two million copies in its first nine days.[6]
