Crafting videogames since 1996

The origins of the Screamer phenomenon

The story begins in Milan, when a small team of true enthusiasts created one of the cornerstones of the racing genre, still in the hearts of many nostalgic players: Screamer.

Thanks to its innovations in graphics and gameplay, Screamer became a benchmark in the genre, establishing the company as a leading brand in PC racing games.

Success and collaborations in the world of two and four wheels

Passion, attention to quality and care for details are just some of the characteristics that allowed Milestone to be noticed in the early 2000s by major publishers. Together with partners such as Electronic Arts, Infogrames and Virgin Interactive, Milestone develops the official video games of some of the most prestigious car and motorbike championships, including WRC, SBK and MotoGP™, specialising more and more in the simulation racing style, also thanks to the use of a proprietary game engine.

The big leap into publishing

2012 marks a turning point in Milestone’s development as a company and as a leader in the video game industry, becoming a publisher of its own games. The catalogue keeps growing thanks to the introduction of the adrenaline-filled dirt bikes of MXGP and Monster Energy Supercross. 2015 sees the debut of RIDE, the first proprietary IP dedicated to the two-wheel universe. Two major events mark 2018: the adoption of the Unreal Engine graphics engine and the agreement with Mattel, one of the leaders in the toy industry, to develop video games of their most iconic toy cars.

Part of an international group and the consolidation as an industry leader

In 2019, Milestone joins the Embracer group, an international reality that has allowed the company to grow and enhance the expertise gained over the years in a global context, consolidating itself as a world leader for video games dedicated to motorbikes. Thanks to the continuous qualitative growth of the MotoGP™ franchise, every year Milestone gives millions of players the opportunity of experiencing the thrills of their favourite sport. The same quality has made RIDE a benchmark for the two-wheel road racing video game industry, with Supercross and MXGP for dirt racing fans, thanks to hyper-realistic graphics and an immersive gameplay experience.

Simulation but also a lot of fun on four wheels have been achieved since 2021 with the chapters of Hot Wheels™ Unleashed, acclaimed by gamers and critics alike, and with the imposing trucks of Monster Jam™ Showdown. 2024 ends for Milestone with the anticipated announcement at The Game Awards of the return of the historic Screamer franchise.
