EDGE Games is an independent video game publisher. EDGE Games , EDGE and THE EDGE are the brand names that have been used by various EDGE Games predecessors since first used by EDGE's original predecessor in rights Softek International Ltd in London in 1984. However, EDGE Games (EDGE) is not a U.S. corporation founded in 1990, as some Internet sources falsely state it is. A veteran independent game developer and publisher, EDGE was formed in London in 1981 and is the UK's oldest computer game company. Within a year EDGE was also operating out of Southern California and is thus one of the US's oldest game companies, too. EDGE is currently headquartered in Pasadena, California with the majority of its intellectual property assets held by the California corporation EDGE Games, Inc.,but also still operates out of London, England as it has continuallly since 1981. EDGE's games are available everywhere worldwide that games are sold. EDGE has been a registered developer for PS3®, XBOX360®, Wii® , Android and Apple® iOS platforms in addition to a number of other computer, videogame and mobile device platforms. Most recently, EDGE has launched its new super-fast range of EDGE GAMING PCs with a goal of their being the fastest in the world, and its new 5G handheld gaming device EDGE HANDHELD. Upcoming are more games for iOS and PC including more iterations of EDGE's famous Bobby Bearing franchise.2020 saw the re-launch of the improved version of Bobby Bearing 2 for iOS devices. Latest releases include our eponymously named game "EDGE" released on iOS and Android in November 2021 to celebrate EDGE's 40th year in business. Then recently there's the fabulous new games Super Cookie Blast, Word Escapes, Palabra, Wordzle released on iOS and Android in 2022 and early 2023. Many more games are in development including FAIRLIGHT 3 for various platforms and devices.

From 1980 to the early 1990s, EDGE published over 100 games on various formats including Sinclair Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad, Dragon 32, Oric, Atari ST, Amiga and IBM PC. Since the mid 1990s EDGE has continuously continued to publish games on a variety of formats, from the CDTV games of the 90s right through to EDGE's game "Bobby Bearing 2: Rerolled" for Apple iPhone®, and iPad® in its latest version in 2020. During the 1990s and the 2000s, EDGE entered into a number of licensing arrangements with other publishers to, for instance, republish Discovery Software's "Sword of Sodan," or license rights to Broderbund Software for "Koala Lumpur: Journey to the Edge," to NIS for the game "Cross Edge," and several more. During the 1990s and the 2000s, EDGE also licensed the rights in EDGE for the production of a wide variety of game hardware such as Diamond Multimedia's EDGE 3D, Datel's THE EDGE Nintento Wii controller, and a wide range of "EDGE" and "GAMER'S EDGE" game PCs by Velocity Micro.

Since 2010, various EDGE Spectrum titles were relaunched -- for instance on the Recreated Sinclair ZX Spectrum, launched Fall 2015. For 2023/2024 EDGE is planning a larger scale relaunch of its hit 1980s games on various emulator systems for the ZX Spectrum, C64, and Amiga platforms. Here's a brief visual overview of EDGE's output from the early years through to around 2023 (this is not a complete list of games EDGE has published since it has produced more than 700 games - SKUs by game, language and format):
