About us

Coffee Stain Studios is the largest team under the Coffee Stain brand, where our journey began back in 2010. We've recently launched Satisfactory 1.0 after a highly successful Early Access period, with over 6 million copies sold as of today.

Micromanaging is not our style, so everyone needs to take responsibility for their own work. We want everyone to feel like they’re contributing to the final product and thrive towards always becoming better at what they do.
