Founded in March 2009 as bitComposer Games GmbH, the company focuses on PC, console, mobile, and online platforms. In December 2010, bitComposer founded the subsidiary bitComposer Online to focus on developing and distributing free-to-play online and browser games.[1] bitComposer releases international and local titles in physical media and digital download formats. bitComposer was renamed to bitComposer Entertainment AG on 22 December 2011.[2] bitComposer Entertainment continued to publish its PC, console and handheld titles under the bitComposer Games label.[3] Following insolvency, the company was dissolved on 15 January 2015, but eventually came back together as bitComposer Interactive GmbH.
