Mission We’re just getting started. We plan to keep winning over more loyal fans, building more platform-pushing technology and delivering more big entertainment for little screens everywhere. Our mission is to create the world's best mobile games!

Description Hothead Games was founded in 2006 to make kick-ass downloadable games. In 2011, Hothead decided to go “mobile” or go bust. The good news is we’re still in business and are more successful than ever.

Hothead’s award-winning and growing game catalogue has already earned us legions of fans around the world. Our Big Win Sports series — (Big Win Football, Big Win Baseball, Big Win Basketball, Big Win Soccer, Big Win Hockey and Big Win Racing), and our military themed games – (Kill Shot, Rivals at War and RAW 2084) have been downloaded million times.
